I am also very disapointed and getting fed up with the K20. Following my thread a about a week ago I have tried many settings but the definition is still very fuzzy and does not compare with the results from two of my old 4mp and 6mp 5 year old cameras. Surely a near £1,000 kit should preform better.

I am using the twin kit lenses. In many recent reveiws they do not rate the 18/55 kit lense mainly due to poor colour around the edges but there is no mention of fuzzyness.

If any one who has a new K20 and get sharp pics I would like some advice. I am a novice and fairly new to DSLR's so I donot understand some of the tec. terms etc.

Just had another look and it is set in AFS not AFC

Auto mode.

Sorry, what I ment was that I was using the K20 with the exsosure in GREEN MODE (Auto) and the focus set to AFC (Auto). I assume that when using these settings the camera would make basic adjustments taking into account the conditions but I realise that with more exsperence, I will most probally get better results making my own customised settings. To give me a start, I would appreciate any advice from any of you more exsperenced users of the K10/20 on any usefull customised settings you use.

I am using my k20 in auto mode so perhaps I should try some custom settings as you have suggested. I will have to sit down with the manual and camera and try some settings. It's a long time since I have used a SLR, back in the 35mm days, so it may take me some time to get used to it.

Many thanks for the advice

Don thanks for the info and advice. I have cheched the menu and Jpeg pixels are set to 14.6 and the quality is set to 4 stars. Where abouts on the menue can the sharpness be incresesd?.

I have just downloaded my first photos from my new K20 and am also very disapointed with the sharpness of the photos compared with photos taken with two old digital cameras, one with a 4mp and 6mp sensers both taken in auto mode. I have taken the k20 photos in full auto mode in good light conditions. The K20 I have has the supplied twin lense kit. I am new to DSLR.
Can any body help?

Thanks for all your information.

After trawling through the net the price of the 200aw was betwen £49.00-£79 but on Monday morning I found the 2oo aw on amazon for £34.00 with free delivery. I orderd it and it arived on Tuesday morning. When I checked on amazon today I notced that the price has increased to £47.00 so I am glad I did not hangaround.

Could any body give me any tips of how to keep the k20 from moving around within the bag as it apears to be very loose

Thanks for the info. Would the k20 with the grip attached fit the slingshot 200.
