K20D
Hi Lilly, After 5 weeks of looking for a K20D, SRS was the best price. The 16-45 is dead sharp. Yes the grips are compatible. I moved over to Pentax after 25+ years with Nikon and I love the K20D :D and would not go back, it's performance in my opinion is as good if not better than the Nikon D30...

K20D
Does this link prove that the K20D is the way to go for budding (and pro) wedding photographers? no more worries about blowing out the brides dress Yes and no. I did a friend's wedding with the K20D and D-Range in RAW. However, I did completely blow out one shot (came outside from inside with th...

K20D
Just to back that up, I yesterday had a first stroll around with the 16-50 :lol::lol: and remembered this threat. So I did overexpose a few shots by 2 stops. No problem recovering _nearly_ all detail. My example was perhaps not as impressive as the example from the Dutch site, but it certainly did ...

Samsung K20D equivalent
Hi all, Managed to get a hold of one of these today, although would not buy the Samsung version myself. Felt quiet a bit bigger than the K200 I held a few days back, but nicely so. Am I right in saying they are the same camera except for the Samsung name on it? Thanks, James

Help K20D Crashed, Locked or Froze
Can anyone shed light on this problem I had this morning, or has anyone else had a similar problem? I was out this morning taking some early morning misty shots. I had just taken off my 16-50 and put on my Sigma 10-20. Took one shot but had realised I still had it on mirror lock up (2sec delay)...

Help K20D Crashed, Locked or Froze
Just going back to the camera locking up, if you read the instruction book it says that you should remove the battery, wait a moment or two and then replace the battery. If this works the camera does not need a repair. And it did work, so nothing to worry about.

Help K20D Crashed, Locked or Froze
Just an update! It's done it again... twice! :( On Wednesday past, my screen refused to show a preview image, also couldn't change any settings, rectified when I switched the camera off and back on. Then yesterday was out taking photos, snapping away, when nothing appeared on my screen. I had ...

... Is this more than a 'normal' crash problem? Anyone experienced this? ... I think I have had exactly the same problems with my K20D and reading this thread has made me feel a lot happier :D I have had two different occurrences: I have had it lock up on about three occasions when it just se...

K10D and kickboxing
If you manage to pick up a cheap lens (SMC-Pentax A 50mm F1.4 goes for about £60 on ebay but is manual focus) you could spend the change on Noise Ninja to help reduce the digital noise from using a high ISO. Good luck. Kris.

Battery grip and picture preview
Absolutely! It's been a lovely lens to use, with a decent close focus capability (not macro by any means, but great for flowers etc), and for wildlife too. It's beautifully sharp, and the bokeh's great. Here are a few links to pics taken with it: https://www.pentaxuser.com/photo/user-1387/Ir...

Pulled the trigger ....
Went ahead and ordered the K20D with 16-45mm lens. At £699 from Warehouse Express, and 0% finance, just could not resist! The DA* 16-50 would have been nice, but not for a further £300 outlay. This way I can see how this lens is, and then go back for the 100 f2.8 macro at a later date if I fancy ...

Can anyone help me please?
I am a photography major at the University of New Orleans and I am also the photographer for our university newspaper. I have been shooting with a Canon G9 but am looking to buy my first SLR within the next month. After weeks of research I have it narrowed down to two. The Pentax k20d or the Niko...

Can anyone help me please?
My advice and that of a lot of users on this forum would be to handle both cameras and buy the one that feels the most natural in your hand, comfort and being able to manipulate (and understand) the controls easily is in my opinion THE most important factor in buying and living with a DSLR. As fo...

Can anyone help me please?
Pros for Nikon: better live view- coming from a point and shoot this may be helpful. a slightly bigger sensor. a better LCD screen to assist in auto focus in Live View and checking for sharpness in playback. the 16-85 wide angle lens with VR- (this is the biggest pro in my mind) Some of the bes...

Unlike the old lags here I'm someone who came late to digital and even later to DSLRs so perhaps your situation is not dissimilar to mine fairly recently. I would whole-heartedly endorse the advice given by many above to handle cameras as a starting point and would say do it at a specialist deale...

K10D raw and photoshop version 7
I use this rule of thumb: If I can get 99% where I want inside Silkypix then I'll save as JPG (you can adjust the quality), then do minor edits in Photoshop and save as PSD file (because I always use layers). If I need to wrestle with the shot a bit (like severe dodge & burn etc), or anticipate ...

PENTAX FF ?
I see your points Matt, It would be nice to see a FF from Pentax It would put them up on the map with the big boys, as you know I have been with Pentax only a short time, and Pentax are under est. by a lot of photographers and I would never go back to Nikon now.:D:P
