Pretty sure that's not the only difference.
Yes I know that thanks but it was the only reason given , I have a friend who has one and yes it is certainly better than my K10D but at the end of the day are his pictures 3 times better than mine? Nope but was his camera 3 times more expensive than mine .. yup.Pretty sure that's not the only difference.
I only started out with a DSLR 4 months ago and chose the K10D purely on price compared to Nikon and Canon bodies that had lesser features for the same outlay.
Would I buy a D300 now? .. maybe, I may even do so at a later date but then I would hope Pentax (or Samsung) bring out something that is just as good by time I feel advanced enough to upgrade.

D300 out at weekend, Zero PP required shooting RAW .NEFs at 12bits. Only required cropping.
I would have had to spend some time PP same images taken with K10D.
Now I feel I can go out and shoot without having to work the images in Photoshop to pull out the information captured.
Well if thats the only difference I am happy to carry on with my K10D.D300 out at weekend, Zero PP required shooting RAW .NEFs at 12bits. Only required cropping.

Considering the price difference between the K10D and D300 plus the lenses I think a bit of messing around in Lightroom (which I actually quite enjoy) is a small price to pay.

Actually I have been toying with buying the new Panasonic FZ28 bridge camera, it seems to have a pretty good spec for ther money.
I was thinking of buying one for just keeping in the car and when I take to dog over the forest to save me lugging the K10D and a couple of lenses over there twice a day .. just in case I miss something.
But then that sort of defeats the object me buying the K10D to start with.

I wonder if that's why the DA* 60-250mm is taking so long, maybe it is going to be FF.
Release date in September at the show when they announce a camera?
Personally I have neither the money nor the interest for full frame, the K20D isn't that much of a jump for me, the higher ISO and pixel count would be nice for macro use but I'm happy to wait for it's replacement, whether it be a Pentax .. or a Samsung.

I would say that is pretty certainly a "yes".am i the only one who has noticed that the duckling on the far right in the uncropped shot is a tufted duckling not a mallard?
Anyway, I went down to the pond early this morning and shot the bloody thing .. it got so bad I was dreaming about how to crop the picture.
No I don't have to worry.
Still trying to work out why the Pentax and Sigma mount versions are £100 dearer than the Nikon and Canon.
