K20D came this morning, too much on today to give it a serious run out but i managed out for an hour.
Few test shots, shot in Raw with my basic PP. Curves, USM and not a lot else.
All shots were taken handheld with IS on, Bit of a wind blowing here also.
Lens used was the 16-45 f4. (Im pretty impressed with it considering it was in real terms around £170 as i bought it with bundle.)
In particular i am very happy with the 2 dandelion shots, the one at f4 seems a little soft but they were both moving a fair bit in the wind so to get these shots @f6.7 with a 1/60 shutter speed and f4 with a 1/80 shutter speed is a testament to the on camera IS and everyone tells you its better on lenses.

First one is f8.

Does the newest Firmware for the K20D incorporate the older firmwares also?

Seems this has been taken the wrong way.
I was just confused why it was relisted at the same price rather than a lower one that was all.
As i stated i would happily take it at £250 i was just trying to gauge if he was looking for more.
As for my first paragraph, yes i admit it does sound a little like Price Policing but than was unintentional. I was merely pointing out the recent increases have kept the used market solid.
Apologises if it read any other way.

If they are looking worse than the others at f4 in manual then i would have to say its beyond the point of a "bad copy" those f4 ones are woefull.

Rofl, me to.
Canon one bought from Microglobe 03/06/08 = £295.47

You cant properly print from Raw as it does not contain any colour space info as far as im aware.
It needs to get processed first.
My general route is Raw, to Tiff then Large Jpeg (these can be 9 meg).
In saying that though i have a stunning picture of my Son and Daughter hanging on the wall 30 inch by 20 inch razor sharp and from a 2 meg jpeg.

May 21st?
What happens then?. End of world?. Jessops shutting up completely?
Or are you referring to the mythical New Pentax DSLR that no one with any cred seems to know anything about?
I hope its true, but im a "believe it when i see it person"
Its long been accepted that DPReview are amongst the first to get these snippets and i may have missed it but i havent seen a mention of it.
And as for that Shady Picture that keeps appearing on the web it looks like a Sony A700 has Raped a Canon 400D and this is its offspring.

Well i think you are possibly the one out of touch, you say its 9 months old. Ok, at that time the Lens didnt cost £370 to buy new. They were around £290 to £309 if memory serves as i got one for a Canon around that time at around the price i mentioned.
So they were around the £230 - £250 used mark, mint so nothing has changed really apart from the fact they are still going for around the £230-£250 used mark as the recent price hikes have allowed them to stay solid in the used market instead of naturally depreciating. Im also pretty sure if 24 people were watching and were interested at the price then one would have placed a bid with a couple of hours to go to prevent you from removing the listing.

Its your lens and as such you may ask what you wish, i was merely hinting at a marketing stratedgy of starting a little lower if you are so confident it would sell for more.

Oh and one more Point, i think £250 is a decent price and would happily pay that for the lens.
I had assumed you were expecting a whole lot more than £250 and removed it just incase thats all it sold for.
And again with ebay and Paypal claiming a total of 14% thus leaving you with around £215.
With that said i will happily offer you £240 inc RMSD by Bank Transfer, cash, or whatever for the lens.

Hello,
Ive made a few posts but forgot to introduce myself.
Been doing photography for a few years now on a strictly hobby basis.
My K20D will be arriving on the 24th April and i must say im looking forward to getting out of the Nikon, Canon rat race and hopefully rekindling my love of photography.
If anyone wants to see any of my work you can see it here.

Its mixture of everything as i dont believe in doing just one or two stlyes.
Hopefully i can get out for an hour or two tomorrow and get some pictures taken with the K20D.

Hmm..yes i will take all of those in the picture.
My Plan of attack is to use Manual lenses as much as possible Hardgravity.
But always nice to have a 50mm AF in the bag.
Going to think about the f1.4 50mm @ £150 ish. Nice price for a whole lotta lens.
