One thing that confused me, is that it states the drive modes as having 'continuous Hi' and 'Continuous Low', but that's on the specs on the Pentaximaging page - 'Low' is 2.3FPS for non-stop jpeg shooting, only up to 38 jpegs at 'Hi' 3FPS. 'Burst' mode is 20 frames a second , but only jpegs at 1.6Mp.
Still, worth casually mentioning 20FPS to a Canonist and then sauntering away without saying the 1.6Mp bit...

Its the K200D for me along with the SMC PENTAX-DA 55-300mm F4-5.8 ED. I am so pleased they kept the AA batteries for the K200D. Weather sealing and all the rest in a compact body. Brilliant.

Will the samsung GX-20 be exactly the same?
Cause,
"The GX-20 and lenses are expected to be available from March 2008, price for the GX-20 with 18-55mm lens - £699 RRP."
Thats alot cheaper

They've reworked the AF computation algorithims and given users the option of turning of Pentax's double-check system. So these two things combined should improve the AF system speed by a noticeable degree.

Samsung will sell the camera under the name of the GX-20. There is little difference between the two models, other than their menu systems, image processing algorithms, and the fact that Pentax offers its own .PEF raw standard, in addition to Adobe’s .DNG, as used by the GX-20. However, Samsung will offer it at a substantial discount – up to £300 less when coupled with a new 18-55mm kit lens.
