Well our rep came in with a fully working K10d... (beta firmware still as has ISO 50-3200)..
Opinions:
- Sv mode is cool, just what I wanted, I put front dial as ISO and rear on Program-line shift, very nice to use..
- Weight and size did feel a lot more substantial than any previous Pentax DSLR even the D, more like my friends 20d..
- Autofocus: Don't even start me on that it was sooooo much faster than even the D or K100d, don't even bother comparing it to the DL/DS.. And I focused in some real dark spots in the office and it was still very quick and confident.. This was using the Sigma 18-50 kit lens too...
- Sound: AF was pretty soft, softer by far than the K100d and also shutter sounded good again (thinking of D not DS/K100d)..
Don't know what else to say, other than I am bloody eager to buy mine... no more doubts on whether I can settle with my K100d..
EDIT: I don't know if this is just the beta firmware but I noticed in the FN menu when you select ISO it is either 100,200,400 etc but when you use Sv mode it moves in half steps...
