How do we get by with only 10 megapickles?!
Thanks Mike, Dave and niceshot
10 mpx is just fine, thank you. In fact I often make do with even less. I use my Takumars exclusively with my old 6 mpx *ist D. Basically the same lovely CCD rendering, but with lower resolution of course. For web viewing, it makes little difference, imo. I actually prefer the larger viewfinder for manual focusing on the *ist D. Obviously, framing is important, since you cannot do a lot a cropping!
I would love to use my MF lenses on my K10D, but the camera has a focusing issue I've mentioned before. AF lenses work fine. But when using MF lenses, the focused image seen thru the viewfinder doesn't coincide with the green hex focus confirmation. The image may appear sharp in the VF, but the green hex doesn't light up. Conversely, when the green hex does light up, the VF image appears OOF. Frustrating, since I'm uncomfortable just relying on the green hex for focus.
