K-X is around ISO400
K10D makes no different ISO 100 or 200
What brings you to these conclusions Stefan?

Dynamic range on DPreview.
They only show full stops though so the base ISO of the K-X could lie between iso200 and iso400, the same could be true with K7 & K20D that the base lies between iso100 and iso200.

Hi and thanks for all your replies!
This is the link which made me ask the question:http://www.digicaminfo.btinternet.co.uk/isosettings.htm
Thanks for all the other tips though!

I think you're talking about base ISO.
The base ISO is the ISO on which the sensor is build around, so they perform the best on that range, dynamic range, noise, etc.
With the K10D/GX10 the base ISO is 100 just like many earlier camera's.
Now they have placed the base ISO at 200 for most sensors.
yes that was what i was asking reallyI think you're talking about base ISO.

Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.

Yeah I was also going to chip in about the base ISO. On my K100D Super the base ISO was 200 (which I always found quite irritating). On my K20D it is 100 (woohoo ).

I think the Base ISO lies Between the ISO100 and 200, it also makes you wonder why you can extend the DR in iso200 and not in iso100 with the K20D.
That lead many to think base ISO is 200 for the K20D.
