K20D...honest appraisal from users please...
Steve, 1. Not sure - but loads! Having a CMOS sensor (as opposed to CCD) means you get a lot! Several hundred shots - and if you use the grip then you can fit a second battery. 2. Out of the box it is menu based (press the Fn key). However, you can easily assign it to one of the wheels. I norm...

ISO: The front and rear e-dials are programmable and either (I think) can be set to adjust ISO. When in M(anual) exposure mode, normally you'd have the rear e-dial set to adjust aperture, and the front, shutter speed. In this case, pressing the OK button on the back changes the front e-dial to I...

1. 700 or so is expected, I've never counted, but plenty that's for sure! 2. It's fast enough and second nature after a while. 3. If you adjust the dioptre on the viewfinder correctly the screen is sharp and easy to focus manually. I don't find a need for another screen, but some do. It depend...

Pro's.....far too many to mention, I could sing this cameras praises for hours and still find things to talk about. Cons......Liveview could be a bit better, I use the DOF preview switch on mine a lot and having to go through the menus to switch it to live view then back again for DOF preview is ...

And some specific questions: 1. How many shots from a battery do you get typically? 2. How do you change the ISO and is is fast & easy?..I believe it is menu driven on the K20D, whereas most DSLR's have a simple & fast button. 3. How easy is focus with manual focus lenses? does anyone use a dif...

Decisions, decisions.... Well I recently decided to give Pentax a try rather take the next step on the Oly ladder. I'm glad I did because overall I'm very pleased with my K20D, it's a super tool. So now I have feet in both camps and it is an interesting place to be :) I had seriously considered...

We ll I'll just back up what the others said. 1) At least 600, but I tend to think of Battery life in terms of weeks rather than shots!I have a spare anyway and it takes abut 10 seconds to change. 2)In some modes it's already assigned to one of the jog wheels so literally a flick of the thumb or ...

K200d lens?
"which im sure you all will no is a beginners camera!" WRONG!!! It's a very good choice for a beginner but it's not a 'entry level' camera at all. It's plenty good enough to take you all the way from complete novice to semi-pro standard. Anyway back to the question, I'll let the others gui...

Is there something wrong with my pentax k20d
I have just bought a pentax k20d, previously had a fuji s9600. I looked through the viewfinder and it seems like it is dirty all quiggly and lines. I used the dust alert and nothing is on it. When I blow the photo's up to 100%, I can just about see them if I look closely enough.I only notice it when...

Oh dear, I need to save up
Am happy to pay up to £50 on ebay for a prime, the way I see it it`s all experience, and if I do not like a particular lens then I can always re-sell. Dave No such luck for macro lenses I'm afraid they are specially designed lenses and not just your ordinairy prime lens. The field of focus is very...

Oh dear, I need to save up
I got a Vivitar 100 f3.5 macro for about £40 which does 1:2 and I find it to be a very good lens. Not auto focus but I don't find that an issue but it does auto exposure OK. Nice light plastic lens that seems to work very well. Ideally you'd get the supplementary lens that makes it 1:1 which I ga...

Actually its not so much the money that is holding me back (although lower is always better), it's just I don't feel I have got the best out of the K10D yet. After all, it is my first DSLR and I have only had it 9 months. It's just that old "upgradeitus" kicking in again.

K10d to K20d upgrade?
The K20D is a worthy upgrade if you would enjoy higher resolution, less noise at high ISO settings, more effective Shake Reduction, and a few more little conveniences in the firmware. Live View is a nice bonus as well, and works better than I was expecting from the reviews. You will use the extra...

K20D 16GB card compatibility
Has anybody any good or bad experience with 16 GB cards? I bought an Extrememory Performance 16GB 133x SD and when inserting the card access led remains on for an extremely long time (8-10 sec or more). The same when taking pictures: it writes images extremely long, what's more writing images increa...

Ref converter A
For use on a digital, ref converter M (which is the one I have) is almost identical to ref converter A.... A seems to just have a slightly bigger hole at the bottom to cut down of reflections on the Super A. I've used mine on the Super A and K10D without any problems. Really handy for Manual focu...

35mm DA-Limited Macro
I also have one of these and I think it is great. Initially I thought it was a little soft at infinity focus with it only coming sharp at and above f4.5. However this turned out to be a back-focusing issue on my K10D which was easily fixed. On my new K20D it is a cracking lens. It is small, li...
