I have been collection K10D images (these aren't mine). You can view what I
have come across at:

http://pcreviewonline.smugmug.com/gallery/1970427

The first two pages are from pre-production cameras. However, the ones on
pages 3 on are most from production cameras. There are a good number of high
ISO shots. It looks like it is going to do a very good job.

I haven't had a need yet to shoot at high ISO. But, I plan to as it is the
one reason I went from my Panasonic FZ30 to the K10D dSLR.

Why ?

Price (D80 is too high, you can get a 30D for less after rebate)
Noise (way too much at ISO 800/1600 on the D80, almos none at same ISO on
the D50)
Amp glow problem (this is a major problem see here if you dont know what it
is http://www.bythom.com/d80review.htm
http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/re...ssage=20970317 )
D80 Exposure problem (dealbreaker for many)
And the image quality is not there. A cheap Canon XT has a better IQ (even a
D50) IMHO.

If you have Nikon lenses, the D50 is simply the best deal you can buy right
now.

But aren't the 30's 8MP. Why would you want to spend $1000 on a year out of
date camera? Especially one that doesn't offer a whole lot of improvement of
the 20 it replaces. But, then Canon really hasn't released any thing lately
that is overly innovative. Just the same camera with a few minor changes and
a new name.

According to what I've read online, the Pentax 100d produced images
with a yellow cast when the subject was lit with Tungsten lighting, and
the camera's auto white balance was used. Does anyone know if this has
been addressed in the 10d?
