Not a anti K-7 rant.........but
I am more than happy with K20D and K10D, I only bought the K20D as a back up for when being away. I agree with you Martin, eloquently put! It is a bit like those H-Fi days when the pressure was on you by manufacturers to get the latest and best sound, it is happening now with digital TV ... it i...

Vivitar Lens not fitting...
Many Thanks George and SMC I am ashamed to say I was a touch too gentle trying to put the lens on... I am generally a bit ham fisted so just a little bit more effort got the lens on, and I am pleased with the results so far.. Now back to my ham fistedness, I have a partially dismantled SMC 50mm l...

K20D versus Nikon D300
So according to you a Hasselblad H3D isn't a DSLR? Medium format only refers to the size of the film/sensor, the Hasselblad H3D use a mechanical mirror system and pentaprism to direct light from the lens to an optical viewfinder on the back of the camera, that is what a SLR is right. The descusi...

K20D versus Nikon D300
Its amazing how defensive people can get over this subject. People switch brands of car all the time and noone berates them for it. People make choices based upon what is right for them at any given moment and their choices might be based on wholly different criteria from you. Next year you might sw...

K20D versus Nikon D300
John, could you please elaborate a little more on the D300, I do not believe it is one of their best, only a friend of mine is considering it because its Full Frame and I have tried to point out that is not the be all etc, the K20 or even the K7 I have pointed out, in my opinion offer more, includin...

K20D versus Nikon D300
He he, this is an interesting thread :D For me changing systems is something I have done fairly recently and I think in a fairly low key manner. Previously I used Oly and I am still very fond and respectful of the concept, product range and quality. You ever know one day I might swap back :wink: ...

K20D versus Nikon D300
Firstly I should state that any change for me is out of the question financially and don't think my ability warrants it either. Not sure a lot of these changes are particularly image related, more to do with having the latest thing. My main hobby (until age and injuries got me)was cycling and ...

K20D versus Nikon D300
I started to post this in the classified section in response to a post by TTK, but JR pointed out that it was the wrong place to do so. TTK was pointing out some additional virtues of the D300. Better IQ. Less noise at high Iso. Better build quality. I'd love to see a demonstration of the ...

K20D versus Nikon D300
At the risk of boring people, I will repeat the main thrust of my argument, which is that some people are changing systems because they think a different camera with better paper specifications will make them take better pictures. I take on board Bodyheat's view that a camera you enjoy using will...

K20D versus Nikon D300
Ive been reading up onthis and i think the general opinion is this.. The main draw to the nikon is the 51 point AF and notably how utterly fast it is to lock on. It depends on what you shoot as wether this would be a benefit. I shoot aircraft mainly so it would be a massive benefit to me. ...

K20D versus Nikon D300
I agree with the original post by G. If you pick up a K20D & D300 side by side, which I did some time ago, there seems little, if any discernable difference in build quality. I did with the D300 peel off the rubber cover over the sockets and tried in vain for about 5 minutes to get it back on the...

K20D versus Nikon D300
For others it would be, and I am surprised some people are prepared to squander thousands on a complete new set up for what in some cases is going to make damn-all difference. G In this you are quite right George, but as I have tried to point out here and in another thread, in my opinion, the qua...

He's certainly come on a long way, but I wonder how he would fare using a *ist D and a manual focus lens, which is the reason I posted that picture. G Honestly George, now this is just taking it a bit far. What does the fact that one doesn't manage to get the best out of gear that is older or req...

Seems like George wants to reach his 5000 posts here in the forum with a bang :D and seems that he is surely heading that way :) Have you shifted a gear yet George? Or you going to take a breather for a while? Perhaps have a cuppa and then come back with a vengeance again? :wink:

Honestly George, now this is just taking it a bit far. What does the fact that one doesn't manage to get the best out of gear that is older or requires deeper knowledge in the field do with one being a good photographer or not? I think you have missed the point, but this thread has BECOME pointless,...
