So happy....just got a body for £399
2nd hand, but totally mint condition..hardly used.
Put the Motordrive from the K10d on it....plus my DA* 16-50mm lens......excellent....so happy with it.

Something I would like to know though
What is DRE.
Is it something I've got to turn on....or is it just a fancy way of saying they've updated the exposure control with-in the camera....
K20D. fab camera
K10 (brilliant Digital)
MZ-S (brilliant film camera, still use it for B&W)

Dynamic Range Expansion (Fn - ISO - Fn): It's an option to expand the dynamic range so that highlights are less easily blown. It works!, though ISO 200 becomes the minimum sensitivity, and noise in dark areas is increased.

Something I would like to know: How do you use a motordrive on a digital camera?

Pentax calls it "Expand the dynamic range" in the manual. This is in the index.
