So out of my head one test said +2 sharpness, +1 contrast and neatural colour.

The JPEGS of the K10D are really soft because they say it's better for prints so it needs some sharpening but in all honestly the JPEG conversion in the K10D is quite crap, i'll just stick with RAW and spend a little bit more time on it. There is a very big difference between RAW and JPG with the K10D...


ps. found the site the settings test was on.

So the best default seems +2 sharpness, +1 contrast and neatural colour. If you want punchier colours don't use the bright colour setting but use +1 saturation.

Have done that several time and the camera just stays on till it's finished so i doubt it will do any harm.

I had some freezes with the K10D, i think it was due pressing buttons to fast after putting it on but the on/off always kept working.

There are a lot of fakes going around that are marked as Sandisk so with any public review you must keep that in mind.

A wrieless flash system that can let you controll the output of the flash from the camera if the flash is set on manual. That would be so great for strobist photographers.

All pentax DSLR already have 4 channels, if it would use all channels you could controll 4 groups in total, more then enough for most.

I believe they didn't put that function on their earlier DSLR but i know that Canon had that function on their bigenners camera's for some time now.

Thanks for the test Smutje.

About the speed, there is no reason why SD or SDHC can go just as fast and it's also not one of the reasons why we have SDXC, we have SDXC because of the bigger memories. Btw there is no speed limit specified only how fast it must go for each class rating but you can make a 60MB/s SD card and let it be rated as class 10 (10MB/s) if you want, not smart but nothing in the rules that doesn't say you can't.

With the new SD standards, SDHC is offcially has the same speed ratings as SDXC.
So the picture is like this now.
Class 2 = SD, SDHC, SDXC
Class 4 = SD, SDHC, SDXC
Class 6 = SD, SDHC, SDXC
Class 10 = SD, SDHC, SDXC
USH-I = SDHC, SDXC
USH-II = SDHC, SDXC

So sizes and speed are two seperate things so an SDXC card doesn't have to be faster then a SDHC card but they are bigger.

Sorry that didn't came out right.
I meant who says that SDXC didn't work before the update?

That might be the case but at some time there were also unofficial 4GB SD cards they didn't work in all devices because Address bits what you say but some device didn't had those limit so they had no problem with the 4GB size.

I don't have a SDXC so i can't try with my K10D

btw why say that the k7 update make it capable to use the SDXC, i doubt anyone has tested it before the update
