Hi Marky,I am still thinking a new GX10 at £250 is a steal...
Where can I get this bargain? I am still torn between the K10D & the K20D but the GX10 looks very tempting at £250.
All the best.

The pound being what it is, I just bit the bullet on a K20D kit. Including delivery charge, but less the rebate, it will cost me under €500. Assuming I can get a reasonable price for selling the brand new Mk II kit lens (very good by all accounts but superfluous to me) I hope to get close to a body price of €425.
An amazing deal!

Many thanks John. I have now found it in the manual. I really must spend some time reading the manual.Quote:
I am still stuggling with the settings on my K20. What do you mean by the Bright setting.
Press the Fn button and then press the OK button and you will have a choice of several modes that adjust the settings for particular purposes. Matt mentioned that the portrait setting worked well and I have been using the bright setting to perk up those winter landscapes.I am still stuggling with the settings on my K20. What do you mean by the Bright setting.

Is the K20D really that much better than the K10D??
The reason I ask is that I'm thinking of an upgrade soon (before the prices go up ).
According to the site I bought my K20D from just over a month ago, it is almost £100 more now...

For the love of all things photogenic!
