The reason I shoot in those numbers is because I am shooting indoors with lowlight (restaurant style low lighting) and want to obtain good depth of field across my whole image. With the K100D I found that I could get great pictures at those settings (actually at f22-26) and when I use the same settings for the K10D the picture doesn't come out the same. I am seriously considering trading the K10D for the K100D

Hi all,

I recently posted a request for help here re: the K10D vs the K100D and I ended buying the K10D. However, Is it just me or does the K100D have better lowlight shooting than the K10D. I had the K100D for a day or so and now have the K10D, but I find that when I shoot for lowlight, the K100D was better. I shot a dimly lit room with the K10D at ISO 200/30secs/f32 and it came out still a little on the dark side wheras when I had the K100D I could shoot at the same settings and the pic would come out much brighter. If I have the same settings shouldn't the pics be the same on both cameras? Should I return the K10D and get the K100D since that worked for me before? Thanks!

There is no reason for not using a flash. I am a newbie so I thought it would make the pics worse. Another thing, I can use a UV filter to protect my lens right?

Thanks. Now, if I am shooting indoors and there are lights around that can't be avoided (sometimes some of the shots wil require me to shoot a kitchen photo with low hanging lights that are on and can't be turned off). How do I reduce the glare in the final pic (the halos around the lights and bright spots that are created)? Do I use a filter?

Yes. I have a tripod with which I will be using to shoot. I just don't want to shortchange myself by getting the K100D.

I keep getting different answers. I was in another forum and was told the K100D and K10D have the same size sensor and that the K100 the K100D is probably better in low light due to its smaller, less noisy sensor and that the 10D crams 4 million more pixels into the same area of the chip, making them more crowded and more noisy.

I am really having a hard time deciding which camera to get. I will be shooting pictures of insides of condos. They are new construction and have low lighting. I don't want to use flash. I will be using for the internet (but in the future I plan on printing some pictures as I improve with the camera). I need a camera that will give me great sharpness (I will most likely shoot in RAW because I can edit in Photoshop). I live in Chicago so maybe the weather seals would be a good thing for me?

Hello all, I am trying to decide between a K100D or the K10D. I will be shooting indoors mostly with no flash. I have heard that they have the same sensor and that the K100D would take sharper shots.
