Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / November 2006For RichA, K10D manual
http://www.pentaximaging.com/files/product/K10D_Manual.pdf And here. http://www.flickr.com/photos/pete_with_pentax/285444496/ Its been a bit more than a week, did the camera show up and if so, where did you order it. Most web camera sellers are quoting a Dec time frame delivery and Amazon is actually saying 15 Jan 2007. Enquiring minds. . .

NOW? They always were going to. Was announced at the same time. The Samsung version is simply rebadged. >>> http://www.pentaximaging.com/files/product/K10D_Manual.pdf >>> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > >NOW? They always were going to.

It's probably funcionally identical but it has more than a few cosmetic changes, with a different case entirely from the K10D along with slightly different ergonomics. I don't know if the internals are identical (I suspect they are) and I don't know a better word to use than "rebadged", but the differences are much greater than that word implies.

Hi John, The photos I saw they looked the same except for the SAMSUNG above the lens. Just had another look and they look cheaper IMO, especially the buttons on the back, thats a bit sad really. > >> http://www.pentaximaging.com/files/product/K10D_Manual.pdf > >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > NOW?

But what is going to make someone buy a Samsung? [] > I can see someone buying Leica Panasonic clone, even at a higher > price, just for the name. > But what is going to make someone buy a Samsung? I have some Samsung kit here, LCD TV, LCD monitor, other stuff. Seems good value for money to me. A few years ago, I would not have thought of Panasonic as a "name" in cameras - yet now they have a wide range of models with excellent quality and technical innovation (even if not everyone likes the pixels at 1:1 zoom!). If the Samsung brand has good lens continuity, lots of people will go for it.

Samsung wouldn't be served well if either one seemed to be a "lesser" camera in comparison. One thing is for sure, Pentax's $300+ kit lens is the kit lens to own, far better than the so-called "Schneider" lens the Samsung will be kitted with. >> [] >> > I can see someone buying Leica Panasonic clone, even at a higher [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > lens to own, far better than the so-called "Schneider" lens the Samsung > will be kitted with. And of course you have done extensive testing on these lenses before bagging them out? > >> [] > >> > I can see someone buying Leica Panasonic clone, even at a higher [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > And of course you have done extensive testing on these lenses before bagging > them out? No, but I've seen enough test results. Latest one; Hated the Canon 18-55mm Hated the Olympus 14-45mm Liked the Nikon 18-70mm Liked the Sigma 18-50mm Loved the Pentax. >> >> [] >> >> > I can see someone buying Leica Panasonic clone, even at a higher [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > Liked the Sigma 18-50mm > Loved the Pentax. What would be the point unless you had cameras to fit them all. |
