Pentax K200D's disadvantage: viewfinder !
I want to do more of that, so I just ordered a split focus screen, not from Katz-eye, but from an eBay seller in China. The total price including shipping was less than the shipping alone for the Katz-eye, but it could be complete garbage. We'll see! Depending on which one it is, it might fit fine...

Pentax K200D's disadvantage: viewfinder !
Pete, I'm going to switch to center weighted right away to get used to it. Thanks for letting me off the hook for the comparison. I think I'll spring for the brightness coating in a leap of faith. :lol: Back to the website ....... Appreciate the input!

Use the battery out of that to play, no wait then! I wasn't waiting for the battery, I was waiting for it to thaw out :D Anyway, checked the focus on the 16-50, with BOTH bodies and all seems OK, I cant believe how quiet these DA* lenses are when focusing. The weather looks promising for tomor...

You have a K10? Use the battery out of that to play, no wait then!:) Sorry I thought it was the battery you were waiting for :oops: On the bag front ,have you looked at the Lowepro Slingshots? The 200AW should do what you want. I use a Slingshot 100AW and had my P30, K110d and K200d (with 'gr...

Upgrading
Even though I have just upgraded to the K20D (arrived today:D) I am more in love with the DA* lenses, the K20D does'nt feel like a new camera, it just feels like my K10D:? That may change of course as soon as I put it through its paces and wonder what I ever did without 14 megapixels:D:D:D If you...

Will it perform, K20D ???
The K20d is indeed a lovely camera, I still miss mine a bit! (I swapped my K20d for TTK's D200 by the way...! I've got a D300 and a D90 now too). I agree with everything that has been posted, but I would also say that for action photography, there are better cameras than the K20d, albeit probably...

Will it perform, K20D ???
To be honest, if I were *just* shooting fast moving sports / action then I don't think there's anything on the market (from anybody) to touch the Olympus E-3 in terms of focus speed / accuracy. It'll shoot at a respectable 5 fps and has the additional advantage of the 4/3 sensor effectively doubling...

K100D super power consumption
Just another thought... This is a behaviour I have had with the *ist-D (which uses AA cells) - sometimes the camera thinks the batteries are Alkaline (because the cell voltage is higher than expected). Typically they'll run for a while then show "no battery" very quickly. Turning off the came...

K20D & GX20
Funny, yesterday I wrote a long email to a photography magazine just about this, and their wrong rating of the 2 cameras.... THis is what i wrote! " Dear Digital SLR Editor I have been an avid reader since early 2007, and I still find your magazine a very interesting read, and source of inform...

Transferring pictures from camera to PC
I use both methods. My latest memory card came with a tiny little card reader which is actually quite convenient and smaller than carting the cable about. One thing in its favour is that I have in the past forgotten the camera was attached. Once, I moved the laptop and watched in horror as my K10...

Transferring pictures from camera to PC
My laptop and eeepc both have built in SD card readers, so going that route saves me having to carry the cable around. It's lazyness basically! Does the eeePC have an HDSD compatable reader? Also, what is the device like for reviewing pictures? I am interested as this could be a good way to back u...

What would you have done if the K10D did not fit your hand or had a fault would you send it back to the e-bay seller..NO of cause not. May I suggest that you try things first before buying that way it saves people running around for pain in the butt buyers.

What a laugh this is. You are all so morally perfect arent you!! Do you think it costs pentax anywhere near the amount they sell the slr's for?? Of course not. I returned as i made the wrong purchase. Simple as that. Im certainly not going to lose any sleep over it. I know of companies tha...
