1. In-body shake reduction. 2. Better metering modes, two dials, similar to the *istD. 3. More pixels. Compressed raw files are the same size as DS raw files. 4.

I've never used the K10D with the grip. The one I borrowed didn't have it, and it handled quite nicely without. I'd probably get used to a grip if I did a lot of vertical shooting, though. > 4.

There is a real focusing ring on the front, at least. If you have the 16-45 already on your DS, you can swap that over to the K10D, and put the 18-55 on the DS. > 5. Any other "you gotta buy this too" advice? Try one for a few days. If that doesn't sell you on it, nothing will. -Mat, saving his pennies. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
