Trafford Centre Manchester are shown as having stock but I just telephoned and was told they didn't have them.

A Sprat to catch a Mackerel was my wifes comment

The camera feels really well balanced with the grip, and the ability to have twice the battery power without changing is great.

I looked at this before but couldn't justify £150 or so. I am glad I waited.

I agree, the K20D feels so much better balanced with the grip fitted, especially with DA* lenses. The grip is permanently on my K20D

I sold a lens early last week and made sure the wife got to post it so when my new DA* 60-250mm arrived friday I told her I traded it on the forum for the lens she posted earlier in the week

Well she seemed happy I got rid of one before replacing it.
