Our first stop will be in the Minneapolis area this Wednesday night. 6:30-8pm at the Hilton Minneapolis/St.Paul Airport location.

Its now my backup camera since my K-7 arrived in July 2009

The K10D combines 10.2 effective megapixels with an array of new advanced technology to make this camera a true class leader. These include the PENTAX-developed Shake Reduction (SR) system to minimise the adverse effects of camera shake, a newly developed A/D converter designed to convert a large volume of data more accurately and swiftly, and a new high-performance imaging engine designed exclusively for the K10D.

Examples taken with available light at 1/6 sec with SR using kit lens Pentax 18-55mm zoom, Tamron 28-200 & Tamron 70-300mm

Looking for IS lenses for my Canon soon became a quest in 2007 for the SR system in the body of Pentax DSLR's. Now all my lenses are stabilized and I get the natural colors of the Pentax processing. The addition of the K-7 in July of 2009 gives me competitive AF and continuous shooting at 5 frames/sec.

Test shots from my new Tamron 18-250 Zoom
No significant purple fringe with this lens!
Colors look good and the macro ability is fine
My 28-200 and 70-300 will stay in the bag or maybe at home.
