Maybe if enough people lobbied for it? I use TAV, AV & Manual most. Hardly ever use the green mode now, but I must admit I did use it at first until I was used to the camera, probably the first 20 or so shots.

I prefer C as to me the subject is the sea. I would prefer a combination of the sky in A & the sea in C if that were achievable.

Technical competence doesn't always equate to aesthetic appeal though. Sometimes it's just personal preference that's wins out.

They all look better that anything I've converted to B&W so far.

Graham, it would get my vote. I hardly use many of the options on the K10. But isn't that they way of many items these days. I have a washing machine with lots of wonderful features but I only ever use one of about three programmes. I would love a high quality simple DLSR but until that day comes I'll use my K10d & ignore all the bits I don't need. It does seem a waste doesn't it. Maybe a simpler model could be a bit more affordable too.

Like your thinking Derek.

Welcome.
Could you explain what A.B. is please? I think you have lost some of us.
Thanks

Just looked the Lowepro site & mine is the 100Aw http://products.lowepro.com/product/SlingShot-100-AW,2034,4.htm
Definitely work well for me. I trekked around a few shops & tried some out before settling on this one. It has to feel right.

Don't laugh but I'd buy a car on it's colour not it's engine size. So I bought my DSLR because it felt nice in my hands & I knew that if it felt right I'd use it more. Same as the car colour, if I like it I'll drive it more. I didn't buy the K10 on specs. I tried many DSLR's & this was the one with the right button in the right place & that made it easy for me to move to digital.

Too many people just collect kit & were the corporate badge but oh no, don't take it out in the rain it might get wet. What's a camera for if not for using? These days there a lot less poor cameras so better just get one you like & get using it.

Better that you don't have to think about the kit too much then you can concentrate on the image.

Caz

Could be the white balance. Did you shot in RAW or JPEG? I think RAW bypasses the WB but JPEG dosn't. Just a thought!

My Lowepro slingshot works very well for me & we do a lot of long distance walking. I've even taken it up mountains. It easy to carry & still leaves your hands free. It is also quite easy to get to the contents. I have a K10D & 2 zooms, flash, filters plus other bits & it all fits in well. I also carry a pocket camera in there too. I can't recall which model no. the bag is but it's the smaller of the lot. The K10 just fits with a lens on, but snug is good as nothing shifts about. Hope that helps.

I'm with you on this one. Don't get me started, The kit don't matter. It's what you do with the kit that matters. I bought the K10D because I felt that 10mp would be more than enough to meet my needs as I migrated from film. In fact 6mp on an SLR would probably do for me most of the time. It's handy to be able to crop more, having the extra pixels helps but doesn't that sometimes encourage poor composition to start with? I have taken some cracking shots on a 5mp & one of my best ever shots was on a box brownie. In many ways the simpler the set up the more creative you have to be & that for me is a good thing. By the time some people have selected the lens, changed the lens etc. they have missed the very shot they really wanted. I always carry a small pocket camera in my handbag, it isn't always a Pentax. My pictures have improved over the years but it isn't due to the kit it's due to me. Of course fully automatic does mean that more people can now suffer fewer dud shots but creativity & an eye for the right shot is down to the photographer, otherwise they are just snaps (which are fine too, but only for the family album )
