myrdinn I have the magazine in front of me - it says that Adobe RAW (.dng) is better than PEF on the K10D and that jpegs are less sharp than the competition. Not owning a K10D I can't comment on that.
Nevertheless with a score of 9.3 it does significantly better than the EOS 30D (an , the D80 (a 9) and the Sony alpha100 (8.5) to which it is compared. Makes a very nice change! (and should cheer Petekd up a bit )


Cheers Gywn

That has cheered me up
Keep your voice down, Pete!

Both DNG and PEF should provide the same data. I suspect that Adobe software (if that is what is being used) interprets the data differently depending on what type it is.

If they used Silkypix they'd probably find they got better results than anything produced by Adobe.

Hmm. Ok, thanks folks. I'll see what I can do. Might be a bit tricky, since I can't see what you're seeing.
Forget the picture. Calibrate the monitor.

This is about the price that they are listed at in the US, so it is pretty good, around £100 less than most UK prices
It might mean that Pentax has now fixed the pricing finally, which in turn might mean that their arrival is imminent.

Or it might mean that Devon Camera forgot to add the VAT.

There's plenty of mights about.

What a difference a few hours makes

The price is now £529.99
Sounds as though they did indeed forget the VAT!

I focus, re-compose, and shoot. And it works. But in fairness, I try to focus on something that's a similar distance away from me as the bit that I want to be in focus. Focussing on a bollard, then composing on a mountain, is unlikely to work very well.
