K20 or Glenfiddich, a bit like daddy or chips! So off I went today for a trip round Snape with my K10 and K20 and what did I use? not the K20 Oops! the K10 just doesn`t cut the mustard. I go along with Buddhy but any Scotch comes damn close. Post a shot or two from your k20 D.

Just a bit concerned that they advertise every make of camera except Pentax. I know that they are contracted to do pentax repairs from the Pentax UK site but i`m a bit sceptical.

Now I have a K20 I am contemplating having the K10 serviced. It would be good to have the focus checked/adjusted (only because I don`t fancy rooting about in a debug programme). Has anyone experience with Johnsons Photopia or for that matter any other repair centre?

I agree totally with parker06. Same upgrade for me and sooo well worth it.

Cedric

Absolutely agree with using the K20. I thought the K10 was the bees knees but more often than not focus was an issue with the K10 for me too. The K20 is a well improved bit of kit.

Well the Epson Photo R300 finally quit life altogether although in fairness it`s been a good servant but of late life has not been kind to it. So a replacement, so for under £70 of the gold drinking tokens I bought a Kodak ESP 3 and for below £16 both the black and colour replacement inks. Does it work? yup, like a dream. I can`t believe just how well and for how little this beastie works. All evening I`ve been printing A4`s from both the K10 and K20. Now quiet it isn`t and rock and roll is a favourite genre for it but I think blue tack will stop it sliding around. I can clearly see the print difference in both cameras now. Kodak seem to be hitting the market with sensible prices for replacement ink. Not before time they joined in the digital world of printing methinks apart from their photo print units.

Other makes and models are available.

Have just bought a K20 myself, can`t part with the K10 though. It`s like part of the family.

Our first holiday on Skye I wouldn`t take the K10D out because it was wet. Missed out so many opportunities that the next time it went out in all weathers. Got some cracking pictures, but had to wipe everything very frequently. Yes the body is heavy it is well protected from the elements though. Now I can`t photograph people to save my life so I can learn from you. Don`t give up on your DSC, always carry a camera with you. Can sometimes be a challenge carting round a K20 but my experience with a K10 (same body) is so worth it.

Cedric

I agree with John 100% here. Just enjoy what you see and use your eyes image through the dslr. Learning is also full of dissapointments too but learn from them. Don`t be a slave to convention, push your own boundaries, and use the forums here. There is so much knowledge and advice here for free, it is given free by folk that have knowledge, commitment and a willingness to share. Share your pictures and take any criticisms with good grace. Oh and every once in a while you post a cracker and you feel so good.

Ben, I have decided to keep the K10 as a spare body. Might graft it to a `scope. I bought a K20, very nice piece of kit the focus is so much sharper than the K10.

Lemmy, you got a good deal with the GX20, I`m sure you did the right thing too.
