Sigh, returned the DS cause it was not as new as it was claimed to be.
Now I am thinkng of getting either the K100D super or the K200D. I only shoot RAW, so I am wondering which to be the better option.
I loved the DS for the viewfinder, but then again, I remembered a long time ago when I compared the DS and the DL, there wasn't much difference and the DL was actually brighter. Will either of the above choices be a significant step down?
Another need that I have is less noise. I have read all about the 10MP sensor on the K10D and the K200D. Some people say that if you resize the 10MP to 6MP, the resulting noise levels can match that of the 6MP sensor, especially at ISO800. I just read a comment on dpreview forum that the 6MP sensor will always do better than the 10MP camera no matter what you do with the resultant file. Another school of thought is that if an image is exposed properly, there should not be too much noise. I don't quite subscribe to this notion as insufficient light means just that. I prefer underexposed images with less noise to begin with in PS.
K100D super slightly less than $900 at some places in Singapore and I think this is pretty high compared to the US. I have not checked out what K200D costs.
Refurbished DLs costs about USD299 before shipping on eBay.
