On the K20/GX20 set the preview method to digital preview. Then take the shot by twisting the on/off switch. It will give you a display plus histogram, which stays on and allows you to zoom until you decide to either leave it or (and this is where I don't know if the K10 is different) SAVE it.

To be honest I don't think the screen is good enough for any one to judge if the photo is good or not so like George said why bother.
buy a bigger card and keep your eyes on the subject, you will be loosing quite a lot of shot while looking at your screen judging the photo is good or not

True - at least digital means we can work to a very low hit rate compared to film (one in a hundred if I'm lucky!)

I agree with this, I missed a lot of unexpected happenings because I was looking at the previous shot trying to decide if it was any good or not. I have now turned off the auto review on my K10D altogther.
you don't have to be mad to post here



but it does help

I don't agree in a way. I don't take much notice of the image but I do check the histogram to make sure I haven't burnt out the highlights. If I have burnt out highlights (or am clearly under-exposed) I then dial in some exposure compensation. If I am working with a rapidly changing scene I might only check every few images. Mostly, the things I am photographing have not changed much for a few centuries.

Kris you're right with the histogram, I also look on that during shooting sometimes but only to check clipping and such but that's easy to see so won't take a lot of time.
What I won't do is check if the photo I shot is sharp or infocus, I'll check that later. On the computer or when I can sit down and take some time to look at the photos but never during shooting.
