Hi there!

Hi all! I've joined because I am joining the world of digital SLR. I have almost decided to buy a Pentax K20D (I would like the K-7 but I just can't afford it at the moment) and I thought I would come here to harass you fine people with some questions...

I'm going to have a look around first, hopefully find some user's photographs, etc. I have to say that I'm a little worried because I've not found many pictures so far taken with the K20D that have blown me away... is this the camera, the user, a combination, or is it not a camera for the professionals?

I'm a complete newb to this world so I have a lot to learn, but hopefully as soon as I have my hands on a camera I can get going!

Nice to meet you all

I think I've been looking in the wrong places, there are some lovely pictures in the galleries here using the K10 and K20.

Thank you very much for your warm welcome.

I am off to Park cameras later to have a look and a feel of the K20D. I believe they said that they are selling for £549 when I phoned yesterday?

Hopefully they won't pray on a newbie when I go in there and try and sell me things I don't need!
