Re: Is K100d too old?

Although I agree that the K-5 outresolves the k100d and won't argue with that, my older k100ds totally spanks my K-5 when it comes to flash exposure accuracy, for example. It's no competition. Now I've created a user mode in my K-5 to help reduce the overexposure issues and it's better, but it's nothing like the out of the box accuracy I got with my k100d. It's just one example, and why I said "sometimes." My point was NOT that the the k100d is a better camera, because it's not. And because I bought the K-5 for it's high ISO and other features, I'm not too concerned about the flash issues (yet), but there are a few instances, I've noticed, when I wouldn't hesitate to use my older camera over the K-5. Bounce flash situations being one where I'd prefer better in camera exposure accuracy than having to tweak in post. So 100% false? No. 99.5%. OK I'll take that. If Andy or others want to debate me to the mat, that's fine, I'm happy losing. I'm happy using both cameras for what I perceive to be their strengths.
