Hello Everyone! Ime a newbie and ime looking to get some good advice from you great people :-) Ime looking to get my first digital SLR and been somewhat overwhelemed by all the technicalities! I have been doing many hours of research and finally decided I quite like the idea of getting a K20D I have read good reviews for them and it seems to have lots of room for me to expand and grow. Ime still somewhat unsure on what lenses I should get for general purpose but I will mainly be takeing portraits, landscapes and sports (martial arts specifically) I have found the following deal and was wondering wether this would be a good choice of kit and price. http://www.srsmicrosystems.co.uk/94/Pentax-K20D-Digital-SLR-Camera-with-Pentax-18-55mm-Tamron-70-300mm-Lenses-Case-4gb-Card.html Thanks in advance for any input and I look forward to seeing your input. Andy :-)

Andy,

I have been told that Pentax's tend to underexpose a little which is better than overexposing! Have you tried slightly overexposing? Are you using the histogram to check? I have seen the comments about using this on the forum, but I sometimes find it helpful?
