Mines smooth like John's - maybe a batch destined for samsung got mis-labelled?

On account of my "veteran" status I tried to apply for a bus-pass, but they wouldn't give me one!

Have you tried "want it now" on EvilBay?

Pentax themselves have made it clear that in their design for the K10D they were aiming to capture the best image and leave sorting out final sharpness and noise reduction to software post processing which puts creativity into the hands of the photographers and not the camera designers.

I do not have any quibbles about the sharpness of the images I produce, now that may say more about the state of my eyes than the camera!

I too have sucumbed to the 50-200mm disease (another sale for SRSChris - next day delivery too, well done mate). Astonised at how small it is. Now where did I put it.........?

And that's the real reason for the negative feedback from the kanikon 'bots - they are seriously worried!

I have just invented a new test for cameras, it is applicable only to Kanikon, because as we well know they are so well made. It's is a test of durability and robustness - the equipment has to stand being run over by a squadron of Challenger tanks. Funnily enough all test examples failed this test so their overal score was D----, and therefore they will be out of business by a week next wednesday.

I take no responsibility for sense of humour failures reagarding the above.

There are lots of nice little touches like that that really make the K10D stand out as a well thought out pice of machinery!

George,

the converter is a stand-a-lone program, you don't need photoshop.

Everest base camp is around 17,000 feet. I think temperature is more likely to be a problem. Apart from the batteries (and lithium are I believe recommended for low temps) I have heard of LCD screens being unreadable.
