A little. The K10D was always different from the GX10, and the K20D seems to have more grippy bits to it. The shutter sound is very different (more of a higher pitched "slide" of a slap). The viewfinder is also a little different (the SR icon appears on the right instead of the left). The weight feels the same.

It doesn't half chew up SD card space now. I've had to update my 2GB ones to 4GB SDHC so I don't have to change them so often.

My thoughts as well

Here's another I just finished processing:

A nice surprise for me. I got the K20D and am thrilled with it. I'm even more thrilled with these pictures when you read something about them at the bottom of this post...

These were both taken at 500mm and the subject was quite some distance away:

Cropped and PP'd (mostly some sharpening) from original DNG's.

Now for the bit I'm thrilled about: I'm happy to accept that these pictures are not of the finest quality - however, they're 100% crops

For someone that's now taking mostly macro and long-distance birding shots, this is a real real boon for me

BTW, you might need to upgrade some of your cables to be sure that they're capable of supporting gigabit ethernet. That is, Cat 5e or Cat 6 for cables from the PC(s) to the hub and from the NAS to the hub.

I'd go with the latter idea. Get a small 1Gb switch (they're quite cheap these days) and plug everything into it as you said.

A hub can be either a router or a switch. A router is a dumb device that is box with a piece of cable in it that all the sockets plug into. A switch has some intelligence that routes packets directly from the source to the destination port. On a busy network this can significantly speed up connectivity as the network as a whole doesn't get clogged up with all the traffic.

I've already read it through, front to back, twice

SRS have the K20D in stock now

£799 Body Only

I was on the waiting list - it should be with me on Monday

(I can't believe I turned down Saturday delivery)

I remember reading somewhere that Pentax acknowledged this phenomenon (to do with the SR mechanism). Apparently, they've put a lock on it when it's not being used on the K20D to prevent the thunk from worrying people

Oooh, now I'm excited. I hope I got my pre-order in with you near the top of the list

Looks great to me too, and as described. Except, the links don't work
