    K10D camera blog

    I too just got the K10D after owning a DL for a year and a half. The Pentax manuals to say the least are not very informative and you have to have a good understanding of basic camera functions to be able to understand the manuals. This includes the flash manuals.

    I am working my way through the manual and writing in my blog. If you are interested please follow along and leave comments on how I can make the blog better.

    Right now I've started with the basic stuff and will delve in deeper to each setting as time goes on.

    It's a learning experience for me and I might was well pass the info on to others.

    Re: K10D camera blog

    i got a K100D Super recently and i gotta say the manual, while huge, is also slightly informative

    it jsut runs through what the buttons and menu options do and gives a brief explantiona nd some examples of how and when to use them

    it think it does what it should

    hows your K10D?

    i'm loving my K100D

    Hey,

    I bought a K100D Super and dont regret buying it at all. However, the manual doesn't really explain all of the functions that exist, particularly when shooting in RAW.

    After owning it for two months, I feel I should know more about it, but don't. I guess thats the fun of photography.

    I'm loving the K10D, but compared to the *ist DL it takes a bit of work to coax great images out of it, but it is capable of taking GREAT images.

    Hopefully my 70mm 2.4 lens will be in this week. I'm planning on framing some portraits as Christmas presents for the family back home this year.
