White dots over K20d pics!
Hi all, I purchased a K20d about 2 weeks ago now and have enjoyed using it for a variety of location photography. I have now come to process lots of images and noticed that every single one regardless of the lens, settings, iso and pc software all have little white specs over the shots. Of cou...

White dots over K20d pics!
It's certainly not dust. Dust on the sensor would appear as dark dots or blobs, and dust on/in the lens would be out-of-focus. Could be a hot pixel problem. Apparently there is indeed a bug in the firmware, and there will be, or is, a firmware update. See http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en...

White dots over K20d pics!
From reading the threads over on depressing review I don't think it is an isolated problem. However, it seems that it doesn't affect all K20D's. When I read about it I also went back to have a look at shots I made with the 2s timer. Of course I couldn't look in SilkyPix as it does get rid of hot pix...

Which extra bits to buy?
Thanks again for the replies. In the end I decided to not go for a polarizer at this stage but I did get the infra red remote and a spare battery, plus one of those sport optics straps people mentioned earlier in the year. Thanks Mannesty for the information about the polarizer interfering with a...

£100
I have just seen the Pentax £100 cash back offer on a K20D. It runs from 11th June through to September. I bought my camera and lenses last week £2600 and Pentax have backdated it to 04th June. I'll be happy - maybe I'll get a 77mm Pro1D polariser with the money.

£100
Just had a quick look, and you have to buy a lens as well, body only doesn't count! 'Sweetheart, there's £100 cash back on the K20, gonna order one now, but....'

£100
The old 18-55 (Mk1) is available for £35 ... so you will still save £65 and can then get £30 - 40 for the lens. I'm going to be cheeky and ask Pentax if buying K20D and 3 DA* lenses will get me a £200 cash back!

K10D AF
Hi What's the K10D's focus in low light like and would it be fast enough to shoot dance performance? I'm thinking of getting a second hand one with the kit lens and a Sigma APO 70-300. Would this be a good setup? J

It's exactly the same mechanically, but there are differences in the software. AFAIR the Samsung does not support PEF files, only DNG, which are not compressed. That would be enough in itself to put me off. G I have to disagree with George here, I own the GX10 & just don't see any issu...

What the different camera's indicate is confusing, but I'd say the RAW file size is the important issue if you shoot RAW and care about efficiency on your computer and backups. 10.5 versus 16.1 MB is a big difference when storing thousands of images. So I'm back to Square One on my opinion of th...

The GX10 can be had very cheaply too at the moment - £50 cashback offer... Less the cashback it's available here for £349 (including 18-55 kit lens) http://www.jacobsdigital.co.uk/index.php?target=products&product_id=1729 Link to Official Cashback info.. http://www.samsungcamer...

I didn't realise that PEF files are compressed DNG files - I assume this is a lossless compression like WINZIP? At that sort of money I am very tempted by a GX10 - I think I am finding the 6 megapixels in the K100 a bit frustrating now. I must see what I'd get for a year old K100D. Mike Im ...

I agree memory is pretty cheap, but the time factor is still an issue if you shoot a lot. G George, I was reluctant to answer this again as it seems to be getting a little silly to me but I really don't understand why you're insistent on pursuing this non-issue of "time" - if...

Maybe I'm wrong but GX20 from Littlewoods at £639 plus 100 quid cash back seems cheap but frankly my dear I don't give a damn as even I can't sneak that past my wife. Mike

Bought my GX20 from LX direct a couple of weeks ago, came with the lens kit. Going through quidco apparently gets you another £30 plus the £100 cash back price is just £509 that has to be an absolute steal!!!!
