I bought one, replaced my D50 with it, for the viewfinder, the SR and the ability to meter with MF lenses (yes, I shot with MF glass on the D50, which doesn't meter at all with them, I own far more Nikon MF kit than Pentax MF kit. I'd still be shooting with the D50 if it had as good a finder as the K100D, let alone the DS or K10D). The write speeds make up for the small buffer (small buffer, slow writes are the major reason i sold my *istD in January) SR works quite well. I find it works better with F or A lenses (I don't own anything newer) than with K/M lenses, but it's effective with both. The K10D offers a larger buffer (9 shots instead of 3), weather sealing, improved AF, dual control wheels (Making work with A and later lenses less hassle), HyperProgram, more effective SR and a battery grip over the K100D. MSRP is $899 for the body, street should be in the ballpark. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
