Scarily enough one just went for £200 - and that was including the 18-55 & 50-200 AND a tripod and a bag! link
But that was a terribly written listing - fancy not mentioning the lenses in the title!
Looking at the recent ended listings, I'd say £225-250 with 18-55 lens or £200 body only would be reasonable. Are you upgrading, or concentrating on film from now on?

I'm sure I've seen threads here that suggest that whilst there are some benefits in upgrading from '10' to '20' it's not really worth while. Sorry just seen the question I am wanting to upgrade to K20D hopefully as well as me new film hobby
Better perhaps '10' to K7?
The GX10 is still a nice camera.

I really cannot afford the K7 whereas the K20D I can

Does anyone no if the GX10 battery fits in the K20D as I have 2 batteries and wondering if I should sell both with camera or keep one for K20D

Was actually my Grandad inadvertantly.my mum found some old shots my grandad did back in the day and I thought I would really like to get back to the roots if you no what I mean. I have just got lots of darkroom equipment which I intend on using as well

Re: upgrading from the K10/GX10 to the K20 I disagree with John having done exactly that last year. I wouldn't spend a fortune doing so, but the sensor is definitely better on the K20D and the ease of independent lens focus adjustments is a definite bonus. The "take all bracketed shots with one shutter button push" feature is excellent for hand-held HDR shots.
None of the differences are huge, but cumulatively they make-up for the K10Ds shortcomings, although I would be the first to say that I loved the K10, and bought my K20 second hand for a reasonable price from a forum member.
I shall probably get a K7 when the next model comes out and they start being available second hand for equally reasonable prices. I feel no need to have the latest models. After all, I happily get nice photographs from my ES...
Best wishes (and congrats on the purchase) Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
