Malo you find that info almost anywhere
Applies a correction to the default AF. The same correction can either be applied to all lenses or on a lens-by-lens basis to up to 20 lenses.
I Believe something is also be said in the youtube video about it, not sure though.
Don't know about the exposure problems, with a new processor and metering sensor I hope it will work better.

So far I know Pentax doesn't see it as an K20D replacement so the K20D will be kept in production but the end is in sight though for the K20D.
By chirstmas we should know more about that for sure.

Really my under standing was that it was an upgraded sensor not really a completly redesigned one.Anvh wrote:

The sensor is the same size (APS-C and 14+Mp) but there the similarity ends. The sensor has been completely redesigned and the PRIME image processing engine is new too.The sensor is the same maybe that the processor makes some improvements but I won't expect much more then the K20D can do.

The K-7 gets a revised version of the 15.1 million pixel sensor (14.6 million effective pixels) used in the K20D. Four-channel readout allows faster output and video. comes for Dpreview.
Yes the high iso noise is something that would be welcome to be improved but the resolution of the sensor of the K20D is capable enough and below the ISO 800 surely very good and certainly good enough till ISO 1600.
Also an increase in dynamic range would be good.

Sounds reasonable, the k20D cost around the same when it was new I believe. It will try to keep this position between the other brands I believe atleast under the D300 and at around the same price as the 50D.feeb wrote:
but how much do we reckon they are going to be?
At least £1100/1200 to start.but how much do we reckon they are going to be?

I wondered if you would pick up on that one.Around 6:18, secondary focusing sensor???

What does that mean in laymen terms?
If it means faster focus lock and AF.C is much more quicker than I am happy
I don't know... something that they use two sensors to focus with.What does that mean in laymen terms?

What I understand is that it improves the AF sensor by adjusting it under various light conditions... it leaves me a bit in the blue here.
Maybe they have on sensor to focus it roughly and one for more precies focus, maybe using two seperate techniques?

And here comes the question, are you so disapointed in the image quality of the K20D that you want/need better photos?
Btw have you seen the prices of the new models of the other brands, the Nikon D5000 for example. The K20D is £200 less then that one and even the D90 is cheaper so who will buy it?

Trouble is if the pre production model is anything like what I saw when the 60-250mm was doing the rounds then it would put me right off buying one.
Then I won't show any photo's Trouble is if the pre production model is anything like what I saw when the 60-250mm was doing the rounds then it would put me right off buying one.
Still the operation and feel shouldn't be differend from the final model maybe that performance might be better. We will wait and see I guess
