Pentax K20D test
The URL seems incomplete, but for what its worth, a Google translation link is here: I'm sure it will be interesting to see the mutated translation anyway... I like the section on "food storage"... :-)

K10D vs K20D
I had a similar choice to make a few weeks ago, just before the K20 was officially launched. I looked very carefully at the specs, read all the reports I could lay my hands on, and weighed up the cost factors. It seemed to me that the K10 offered almost the same functionality as the K20, and that...

K10D vs K20D
With the short product lifecycles of digital cameras I expect that will also be true of the K20 once the next top model (K2?) is announced. :roll: When buying any electronic kit these days – you basically have to just write off any resale value. Indeed, but if you keep up with the current models...

K10D vs K20D
I cannot possibly find a new owner for my old *istDS that I kept as a back-up for my K10D and expect them to pay for it. It's simply too old. I'm tempted to offer you a quick fifty quid for it, but I'm going to be honest by telling you the real value: A used DS body recently sold on eBay for £185...

K10D vs K20D
Hi, new here so be gentle :D I've been thinking about getting the k10D for a while now (will be my first DSLR camera) but have found a deal in my wifes GUS catalogue that if it includes the lens, will probably persuade me to go for the Samsung GX20. Part or me thinks that as it's my first SL...

K10D vs K20D
While we're (roughly) on this subject... Would anyone be so kind as to email me a PEF or two from the K20D? Particularly landscape stuff at low ISO and a high ISO image. I won't do anything with the image, of course, and if you want I'll have a go at post-production with your shot as a "than...

K10D vs K20D
Do you mean that it will use SDM to focus a manual-focus lens, or pass power through to an SDM lens to enable it to focus as normal? I don't really see the former happening. G

Is my AF540 flashgun....on strike, or what?
I just got my istD back from repair for failing to fire PTTL. I first noticed on wireless, but it stopped PTTL communications completely. Oddly, it would fire a dumb hotshoe flash without problems, but the 360fgz and 540fgz were dead as far as I was concerned. Just saying it may not be the flash...

Is my AF540 flashgun....on strike, or what?
I hate when people ask a question is a forum, then figure out the problem, and then never report back with how to fix the problem. People reading this thread get no useful information then! Well I'm going to dig up this dead old thread to say this: The problem was that I was firing my flash a ...

Pentax K20D experience
If you liked the K10D you will love this camera, Pentax are at last getting things right, well almost. The auto white balance is much improved even in warm lighting and the exposure seems much more accurate but beware this camera will blow highlights. Noise in RAW images, is different to what I h...

GX-10 & Sigma EF-500 in wireless
Yes it means sending it back to Sigma's distributor. If service in your part of the world is like the one in Canada, it should take less than a week. Your dealer can probably handle the thing for you if you don't know how to proceed (mine does). If you send it back yourself (no big deal), just wr...

K20D Is it easy to remove the focus screen?
I understand the K20D has the same screen as the K10D. This is easy to change. It's held in place by a quick-release frame or "tray". Just give it a press and it pops down/back. No screws involved. The only realy difficulty is keeping the screen and prism free of dust. It can take ...

K20D Is it easy to remove the focus screen?
You're welcome. I get the feeling you are thinking about a Katzeye screen :wink: I have one myself (although without crop lines) and find the split-image really useful, even with AF lenses.
