Oh Crap!  Pentax just released the new K10D Digital SLR camera which is “Pentax’s first forray into the serious-amateur digital SLR market”.  After thinking about it for about half a second, I’ve come to the conclusion that I want one. 

Here’s a quick rundown of my favourite features (that my current camera doesn’t have):

  • 10 megapixel APS-C CCD – good stuff
  • Shake Reduction
  • Dust and weather resistant seals – I shoot on rainy days too.
  • Supersonic motor compatible – faster auto-focus
  • Selectable RAW format (PEF / DNG)
  • Dedicated RAW button
  • Battery grip with SD / remote holder – bigger camera, more power, and storage!
  • Large LCD with wide viewing angle – more than just you can see the picture you just took

Now, I love my camera (Pentax *IST DS) but this thing is awesome.  I’m going to have to try very hard not to run down the streat and buy one.  I’m working on a project just down the way from Henry’s where the damn thing is selling for just over a thousand smakeroos! I can’t afford that.
