I'm assuming that with 10 megapixels and increased bit-depth, the K10D will store a similar number of images on a 4-Gig card to what my ist-D does on a 2-Gig (given the fact that I expect K10D raw files to be compressed, whereas ist-D raw files aren't). Of course, it still remains to be seen how big K10D files are. It's pretty common knowledge now that they're using 22-bit A-D conversion. I'm hoping they pass some of that benefit on in the form of 14-bit or preferably 16-bit color in the raw files. 4-Gig cards are now comfortably under $100.00 in many cases. -- Mark Roberts Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com 412-687-2835 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
