How Much??????!!!!!!!
My god; that's a rediculous price..
For a second I actually contimplated getting a GX-20 from Digital Camera Exchange at that price rather than the K20D from SRS next week.....but.....I bet the kit lens is the MKI rather than MKII, so after cashback the difference amounts to £80, but you could argue that £40 of that is due to having the MKII rather than MKI.
So it's really a difference of £40. I think i'd be happier spending a bit more of a premium at a quality and trusted place such as SRS.
But still....that's a crazy price!

Just been on the phone to them - it's a Scheider (my bad) lens. Is there a mk 1 or 2?

The Schneider version is still the MkI as far as I'm aware.

The pictured one at Digital Camera Exchange is a mk I, but there is a mk II version of the Samsung Schneider Kreuznach D-Xenon:

Are you saying there is something dodgy about Digtal exchange as I have never read anything bad about them.

No no, not at all.
I have heard nothing about Digital Exchange at all, and yet i've heard heaps of praise for SRS (purely in the circles of conversations i've had).
I did'nt intent to suggest that there was anything dodgy about Digital Exchange - should have really thought about the wording of that first, sorry Mike.

Hertfordshire,
mostly.
They actually have the same focus system (as well as the same sensor) so you're not missing out. The difference is that the K10D has a 3-way selector next to the lens mount whereas the K200D has a 2-way one (with the choice of AF mode being made in menus). It's a small detail but another point to the K10D as far as I'm concerned...
It reminds me of the SP500 and the SP1000. The latter had a top shutter speed of 1/1000, the former 1/500 until one realised that the SP500 also had a 1/1000 shutter speed, it just wasn't marked. You just had to click the dial past the notional 1/500 top speed!
Oh well.
Cheers, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
