    New Pentax user!

    Hello everyone,

    As of yesterday at 3pm, I am officially a proud owner of a Pentax K10D! I'm a former Canon user, and when shopping for a new DSLR came across the K10D -- it definitely found its way to my number one spot. I haven't had the opportunity to test it out yet, but that time is coming soon (after work).

    Thought I would introduce myself here, as I'm a Pentax virgin.

    Jared

    Hey Pose,

    Would love to get the K10D but only have the K100D Super. Still love it though.

    I actually use my K1OOsuper far more than my K10D.

    Why is that? I would have thought the K10D as having more options and a bit more versatile than the K100D?

    The K100D is much better at Higher ISO's This was taken at 1600 and no noise. I seen others shots that were taken there and the people were at a loss for words when they saw how clean my shots were. All the 20 some shots were this clean,,, I could have been a better shooter.
    these were taken with the Sigma 28-70 2.8

    Hey, I just got the K10D too. It's my first auto focus camera as well as my first digital. I've been using Minolta manual focus since the 70's. Wife thought I should leave the stone age. Still love film though. Pentax has always built quality stuff. ME supers, K1000 was a tank. Something about using a thumb lever to advance the film. Onward to the 21st century and beyond!
    JUST TAKE THE DAMN PICTURE!
