Going back to Pentax-K: I Bought a GX-10 on the side

Re: Going back to Pentax-K: I Bought a GX-10 on the side

Congrats for your buy! Funny, I can tell almost the same story:

"Rediscovered" photography a while ago, bought an NX100, thought I could adapt my old pentax glass, didn't work so well*, and missed the OVF, bought an used GX-10, back to Pentax.
I am now in the process of selling the GX-10 to buy a newer camera.

Anyways, the camera you bought is a fantastic machine. It suffers a bit from noise in the high ISO range, like all old digital cameras, but the DR and color depth is amazing. I know those tests aren't very field-relevant, but the 6 year old GX-10 still beats every Canon APS-C camera on dxomark. Have fun.
