I am picking up my copy of K10D today but a lot of people might share the same sentiment. 10mp is definitely necessary for some tasks (Paul Stenquist etc) but for amateur hobbyists, however experienced they might be, who do not make a living by photography, would not wish to sacrifice anything including price just because of 10mp. I am appalled at 10mp P&S now cropping up in the market. Ken -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
