PHOTOGRAPHIC CENTRAL: Pentax K10D- Revisiting Simpler and Practical Photography
It's not even his favorite Pentax camera (he lists the K-5IIs as that) but it sounds like he's pretty excited about what he gets from it. Best parts are how he enjoys using it up to ISO 1600, the ergonomics of shooting two-handed (Pentax DOES care about how photographers feel!) and how 10MP is good enough for excellent prints even at 20"x30". I enjoyed reading it
Thanks for posting that. I enjoyed reading it too
He certainly likes the K10D, doesn't he?
He should join these forums and this thread, if he hasn't already...
Honestly, I just find ISO 1600 too grainy and susceptible to banding, which shows up in his examples (but if he doesn't mind, it's all good). I'll happily shoot at ISO 800 if the need arises, though... Mostly, I stick to ISO 100 - 400 and that offers plenty of opportunities for fun...
