- I did not find a significant difference between the Canon 10D and the Pentax *ist DS in multipoint focus on still subjects. The 10D tracked moving subjects better.
- The K10D is on par with the Canon 10D + 20D and the Nikon D80 in this regard ... Just had occasion to compare them over the weekend as other friends there had those cameras and we spent time experimenting: tracking people on their bikes entering and leaving the hotel area. - The DS' AF system is poor in low light by comparison to the K10D. The K10D has *NO* problem focusing even the DA14 accurately in light that requires a 20 second exposure with ISO 400 and f/5.6-8 settings. Neither the Canon 10D nor the Pentax DS would focus accurately in such conditions.
