There are such things as 8x10 digital scanning backs, they are used tethered in the studio.

Ordinary mortals like us will never even get to see such a thing!

So just buy a bunch of rechargable AA's. Solve your problem with one simple change.

Lock the camera down on a tripod, shoot several frames, with different areas of focus, preferrably at small apetures, like f/22 or f/32. Combine the images in Photoshop, and use masks to get rid of the out-of-focus areas, showing the in-focus areas.

Or, just buy a decent 4x5 camera and shoot with a wide angle lens at f/64 or f/96. Works for me.

The official release date is September 15 or thereabouts. As to price, it's all speculation. Hopefully it'll be a pro version like the D, two finger wheels and no silly "scene" modes.

Of course, there are rumors now of a K1D, which would be the pro version of the K10D.

Pentax is prettty tight-lipped about their releases. W'll know in about a month!!

Try the Image Processor script in CS2, if you have it. It converts to JPEG, TIFF, or PSD or any combination, and can compress or not according to your wishes (I think).

I've heard a lot about the K10D mostly speculation. I guess we'll see in September when it shows up. I hope it's pro-spec camera like the *st D, two control wheels, available battery pack, halfway decent weather sealing, and so on.

I've also seen references to a K1D, which I suppose is a possibly a more expensive pro version of an inexpensive sub-$1000 K10D. Again, all speculation.

I live in Worcester, Massachusetts, and every fall I drive out Route 2 to the Connecticuit River, there are great shots out that way.

When you arrive, check the news channels for reports on where the colors are peaking, it varies from year to year. you could drive to Vermont if you're early or Connecticuit if you're late.

it doesn't appear to have the electrical contacts that the original Pentax one did, so I suspect there's no vertical release.

They really are kind of cute, in a dangerous sort of way!

In a fit of sanity (a rare occurance) I put 2,500 USD into a Certificate of Deposit that comes due in October. This is when I learned, last winter, of the upcoming K10D.

But now I hear rumors that it'll be a consumer camera with all sorts of scene modes and other usless junk. So I guess I put the money back until the rumored K1D comes out.

Unless Penatx decides to make the K10D a pro-featured camera like the *st D. Then I'll be first in line!
