K10 Continuous shooting: Has anyone experienced any problems in this mode?

I haven't had any issues with the buffer that you wouldn't have with any other camera. If you are shooting in high res JPEG only, the camera can easily squeeze off 6 straight shots (3 per second). If you shoot RAW+JPEG, you can expect 3-4 before lag catches up with you. Most sources say a high speed SD card helps also, but I just use regular Sandisk cards without effecting what I want to accomplish. I got some great shots in continuous mode with RAW+JPEG of an Osprey diving into the water and coming back out with a trout. It sounds like the salesman wanted to sell you on a high dollar "professional" Nikon or Canon Mark II with a higher profit margin.

Hi There does not appear to be any lag. Hit the shutter button and you have it. By the way, I am a professional photographer and I owned the original RX100. Did not like it as I felt the lens and/or sensor was simply not sharp enough for my needs. I sold it after 3 months. The Mark 3 is fabulous and Sony has fixed the problems PLUS added an EVF. This camera lens/sensor combo is really sharp and I am delighted with it. It is my "carry around" always camera. Good luck and well wishes! - Phil Johannes

I have had no such problem but I can see why you'd be concerned. I use it for photo shoots (light use) only though.

I am using the bright mode exclusively on my Samsung GX10 (identical to Pentax K10D) and I am having a very hard time to achieve a similarly good sharpness and detail from DNG files in Lightroom or Bibble (only RawTherapee provides a significant improvement). In my experience there is absolutely nothing wrong with these JPEGs. This story is a quite unfortunate hoax.The one thing slightly distracting about the GX10 is that the light metering gets easily distracted by small bright spots requiring to check the exposure often ( the images are easily rescued in RAW on the other hand).

Although I've read about it, I've never had the problem with my camera. There is a firmware update from Kodak to solve the problem. This is the link: http://support.en.kodak.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/17507/kw/m580/selected/true

This was one of the worst blunders of DPReview (ignoring the "Bright" mode). They obviously did not care to read the manual when testing the K10D. They also did test the shake reduction out-of-spec, meaning on a very short distance, something the manual explicitly discourages.

First, I'm in the market to buy this camera, I don't own one. I'm not trying to complain about the posts so far, but I'm wondering if you are simply using the auto mode when indoors, or have you tried other modes (Indoor Mode), ISO speeds, etc that the camera comes equipped with? If the images are "VERY POOR", what exactly have you tested? (Others report indoor images have been good).

Have not had a problem at all. I use this mouse for shooter games, I would have noticed that problem immediately and would have returned it.

I have been trying to do that same thing. Some scenes get messed up by the auto-exposure. A couple steps down in the settings you can change how bright or dark the picture is but that pesky auto-exposure is still active. Let's hope if they ever put up another firmware update that they include that functionality like when they added the timer function.

Can you describe the conditions and the camera settings in which you usually see this? Are you shooting long bursts? In low light? What memory card are you using? Have you tried a different one? Have you reformated the memory card in the camera recently? Are you shooting jpeg, RAW or both?

Yes there is a noticiable lag delay between shots. I have not found the burst setting on camera. I used to own a D10 which I found had shorter lag time compared to this model.

I just received my SD970 and noticed that it does make a chattering/hunting noise when in full-Auto mode. It seems to do this for 3-4 seconds until the camera and the scene are stable.For whatever reason, it doesn't do this in "P" mode even though I set it to AI-Servo Auto-Focus. So it must be more than just the focus causing the sound.There is a very slight reference to this in the owners manual -- but wanted to verify this is normal operation.

I have the Transcend 16GB Class 10 SDHC Card and I changed from continuous to single auto focus but it does not seem to make a difference. I called tech support and they don't seem to think it is a problem. I am at the point that to take pictures of children I will need a different camera. This is ok when traveling and I need the zoom but it is disappointing. I did buy a square trade warranty so if there is a defect I should be covered.

Yes and no. There have been a few alarming SDM/Autofocus no-work moments, but a remount of lens and camera on/off has always fixed them immediately. We both use this lens all the time, so counting the one I smashed, we have direct experience with 3 of them.

Nathan, I think it could be a firmware fix as well. I tried the continuous AF mode as well and it didn't help.

It has continuous shooting if you hold down the shutter button. It's not too quick but it's effective. I like mine!

I have tried it on my K10D but mostly use it on my K-7. Never had any issue with it.It is one of my favorite lenses...
