Think I have just answered my own question:-

(Burst mit 1,6M *** JPEG)

20 Frames per second, but only at 1.6MP?

I may stand corrected
A BabelFish quote from the K20D brochure:
Quote:
with the LIGHT the SCHrITT holds: pENTAX prImE processor. In order to let pictures of high eindringlichkeit develop, it needs a camera of highest quality. So the basic idea with the development of the processorprocessor processor for the K20D. The engine supplies the necessary computing power to process in order to manipulate and store colors nuanciert too beeinfl ussen, RAW data comfortably preview pictures purposefully, the volume range from photos to to improve and much more besides. Auss­erdem permits the PRIME to series exposure of approximately 3 pictures per second, in the BurstModus even up to 20. Thus the K20D is very fast, if also not the fastest one in the market. Because as said: For the PENTAX developer had the task of priority, how one realized photos of special quality. Not the question, as one fast particularly makes many photos.

"BurstModus" up to 20

Dynamic Range extension, uses same grip as K10D... ISO100-6400

I'm trying to find something I don't like

I'm seriously excited....

Quote:
Focus error correction, calibratable monitor, freely selectable file names

Other highlights of note:
* Multiple exposure - 3 or 5 shots (great for HDR)
* Dynamic Range Enhancement
* Preview image can be saved
* Same mode dial & wheel operations
* Live view can zoom in (as far as I understand it)
* Ability to detect where the dust is on the sensor


Anyone want a K10D??
