The A380 has fairly similar specs to the K20D; but I'd rather have my 11 AF points vs 9 and max ISO of 6400 rather than 3200 verses what it has over the K20D - a swivel screen and (if the previous gen is anything to go by) flawless Live View.

Considering the K20D (or GX-20 for that matter) has been available for what? One and a half years now (ish)? And how much you can get them for nowadays, i'm actually suprised by Sony on this one, they are not exactly ahead of the game.

And let's not get started with overpriced and sub-par lenses....

I find it mildly amusing that they went with the A380 as a name; surely people will be directed to Airbus if they do a google search!

I would love a swivel screen and flawless live view, I only use one focus point and is ISO 6400 really useable on the K20D?

Maybe I should buy a Sony


Naaa, don't fancy one.

Have they moved away from Compact Flash Cards yet?..... not much use to laptop owners who have built in SD Card slots. Surely they can't put Memory Sticks in Pro Cameras.

I do have a Sony Camcorder and it's quite good and reliable.

We are all different of course; but yes I personally would rather have the option of ISO 6400. Some work posted on this community at 6400 has'nt been bad at all. It could make all the difference in some situations.

I use all my focus points (give me more!!!) And I'm very happy with Live View on the K20D to be honest.

Nah, the A380 can definitely 'go fish'....

From the looks of it you aren't getting more .. however the liveview could well be better.
