Thanks
I haven't used K10D so this is in relation to the K20D.
The main one, and the biggie, is faster AF. It's impossible to zoom and focus at the same time, so AF is a must for what I do.
The higher fps is a bonus, not a must, a bonus. I have definitely got more usable shots because of it. Combined with the faster AF it's great.
Those 2 reasons alone were enough to upgrade for me. But other bounuses are that its smaller and lighter - carrying it sideline is easier, especially for a whole game. I prefer to carry and not use a monopod if the light is good.
You can go through the other specs and see what you would use to add weight to your cause!
