Scott - I assume you'll be hunting down a new Tamron 18-200 pronto, then? Good luck mate - I know this is the Pentax forum, but at the end of the day it's taking good photographs that counts. And passion, which you clearly have. Please do let us know how you get on. (BTW - my other passion is music, and I have no problem listening to punk after a bit of opera. Let's not get hung-up on labels...)

Scott big mistake, you will not take any photos better than you already have, It's just going to cost you more money, talk soon.

I don't see the attraction of the D300: big, in some ways quite clunky, not noticeably better than the K20D except perhaps for flash and AF performance. Neither is a big deal imho. But if you go for one - good luck.
You have only named two things about the Nikon D300 over the K20D, here's three more.

Better IQ.
Less noise at high Iso.
Better build quality.
IMO

Actually I wouldn't agree with better IQ .. I still think that Pentax knock spots off Nikon in this respect.

Did forget much faster FPS and more focus points though.

This is a Classified Advert - or supposed to be - please keep to the relevant subject here. There's plenty of space for discussion in the appropriate areas.

I just received Scott's K20D + BG2 grip today, he was very prompt in sending the kit and packed it very well. It was a very smooth and pleasant trade

Am now looking forward to the weekend when I shall go out and give this beast (it's HUGE next to my K100D) a good go.

I hope you enjoy whatever you're upgrading to, scott (I'm assuming you're not giving up photography, right )
