More food for speculative minds: At dpreview I just found a translation of a interview with Hisashi Tatamiya, who has been leading the K10D project. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1036&message=20671456 Basically the translation, by Susumo a Japanese(?), says that K10D trimmed as a high IQ camera. The IQ philosophy has been to prioritise sharpness and resolution. The downside is that images will need post processing. Another downside is noise at high ISO. Noise from high ISO is also a post processing matter. In short (and a bit tabloid). K10D is intended as a low cost pro level camera, a direct D200 competitor, not a A100, D80 or 400D competitor.
The original interview is here http://plusd.itmedia.co.jp/lifestyle/articles/0610/30/news079.html Interesting. Maybe some who actually reads Japanese can have a look.
