third paragraph of the intro link
First we have compared the camera in its full resolution (HR) mode to its performance in 6MP sensitivity priority (SN) mode. Then, to show what difference the pixel binning mode makes, we've downsized the 12MP output to 6MP (using Photoshop's Bicubic Sharper setting).

The government is full of professionals, but how many are actually experts at thier jobs?
But can an expert call himself a professional, even if he don't get paid?

Yes Mike I was.
Like you said it can purely be commercial, not my type of thing though.
Art has many forms though and covers a lot of things so it's hard to say what's art and not.
Still i'm not fully convinced that you need to get paid to call yourself a professional.
Where does the line lies between an expert and a professional for example... is it really only the pay-check?

It was the last question about noise reduction that I was commenting upon, which I do not think would work as you are expecting. But of course, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, so give it a try and see what happens.
Dpreview did a test but the photos are gone

They said this.
The differences between the full resolution 'HR' mode and the pixel-binned 6MP 'SN' mode are subtle, to say the least. By ISO 1600 it's obvious that the SN mode, which combines the data from similarly colored photosites, is does a better job of reining-in chroma noise but there's not a lot to choose between the two in terms of detail or, until the higher settings, luminance noise. (The downsized HR images look slightly sharper because the downsizing technique used applies additional sharpening to counteract the inherent softening effects of downsizing). In terms of measured values, the SN mode does offer a benefit over the HR mode but visually, it's too close to call.

Here's a better question:
I built a robot that can work as a camera platform. It can capture images as good and in some cases better than alot of people I know.
Is it a pro?

If you've the new firmware installed on the K10D you can set the flash as controller and so the little flash hardly shows in your photos.

I'd never noticed the missing distance scale before!
Btw the DAl lenses must be the most coloured lenses there is.
