I picked one of these up for a colleague on Black Friday. He's very happy. The setup is a bit strange, but they seem to work well.

I have up for sale a copy of the 18-55 standard kit lens.
It's basic, simple, in order, clean, has front cap, hood, generic rear cap. No marks, fungus (my 28-70 gets used more in damp conditions, this is normally in the bag and rarely comes out these days) or any other issues.
Make me an offer around €30 + shipping / transport to the UK or elsewhere in Europe as required. Original packaging is somewhere, I'm the original owner.
Selling due to upgrade to 16-45.
Payment via PP, European Bank transfer please.
I'll post up some pics of the lens itself and using it shortly.

AFAIK, I'm about to break the 30k barrier on my K10D. I don't see it as worthless....Yes, the 20D will drop in price, but not by much. OTOH, there are disillusioned people trying to get silly numbers for K10Ds in this climate. If you want it to shift, price it to sell.
Personal opinion is that £500 is too much for a second hand nearly-new K20D (if a new one is only £550, why should I chance a second-hand one?) and that the forums are more expensive than the 'bay. That applies across the planet. I'd argue £475 or so for a couple thousand clicks, mint condition; K100ds have been seen over the pond for $250. Now, for a second, spare, "dangerous sports" body, I'd say that's OK.
The K7's price is already known at $1300 - it will take less than a month for that to be undercut by the far eastern dealers from my point of view. The UK exchange rate position is slightly more unfortunate, but considering that the cost of a K20D hasn't moved since the almost parity to the euro in December and now (where we're at 1.1 or so), says quite a lot about profit margins to me.

You need to move the files on the PC, not from the camera side. It should just appear as another drive.
