It looked so good on paper vs. its competitors in the same price range. The Olympus 410/510 is getting a lot of attention also......  |
Greetings from a new member,
Please forgive my abundant ignorance
I am making the move from point-&-shoot to DSLR.
I just bought the K10D and eagerly await delivery. I bought this camera for a few reasons: Price...@ $800 w/lens (and 2-day shpg) I could afford this
Construction...70 some-odd seals; claimed weather resistance
Lenses...I understood the shake reduction incorporated into the sensor allowed
the use of non-IS lenses (unlike Canon)...I assumed all Pentax mount
lenses would work (some with adaptors) per manufacturers claims
I would appreciate any input on my decision and once I get my hands on the camera I will post my uninformed review
