Ben,

Excellent work. You have rendered the argument about whether the K10D is good enough for a pro, redundant. It is. End of story.

Chris,

I shot 175 images and didn't get anything as stunning as I wished for! During totality I shot at various ISO settings upto 1600 and still had motion blur and condensation on the lens, which with the low illuminatiuon made accurate focussing difficult. My best effort is here:- http://www.ephotozine.com/gallery/showlargepic.cfm?photoid=835210

I have a Dell 19", but the monitor is only part of the story. If you buy a big monitor you need to make sure your graphics card can do it justice. e.g. a lovely 21" monitor running at 1024 x 768 in 256 colours will look pretty rubbish!

I'd have thought that if Pentax imagined that they might be producing a 1.3 or a 1.1 sized sensor, then their new DA* lenses would be built with some lee-way, and they aren't! It looks like Pentax have nailed their colours to the APS-C mast quite firmly.

It is quite clear from the specs for the new DA* lenses that they are designed for the APS-C sized sensor, so I think we can discount Pentax using a larger sensor, at least for a few years! Thier design philosophy seems to be that the APS-C sensor is good enough for 35mm equivalent work, and that if you need larger, save up and buy the 645 digital!
