Originally posted by RussV Wow, great images. Did you apply any sharpening for are they straight from camera? What ISO were you using?
I don't own a K10d but I'm seriously thinking of getting one. I don't need loads of bell & whistles just good image quality.
I was shooting at 200 ISO as it was quite windy but I was also using a monopod.
Most had no sharpening (the Sigma is so sharp that most of the time no sharpening is needed) but I did use unsharp mask on a few. Apart from a levels adjustment on some they are virtually straight out of the camera. I shoot RAW but today I worked with the JPEGs presented by Faststone, saved them as TIFFs and processed in CS6 for cropping, levels and resizing for the web and then saving as JPEGs again. HTH.
If you can pick up a good K10D you'll get all the bells and whistles you need and quality images as well.
