Does seem to be a lot lately, prices also see to be generaly falling. Wonder how much of this is the push to get a K5? or is it a sign of a failing economy.
I have bought 2 flashes and 2 lenses in the last 3 months, not because I need them now, more due to good pricing, and me stocking up.

but a pro camera shot generally looks better
Probably because a pro is usually a better photographer, have never used a KR so cannot comment on that, but as is often repeated here the K5 is just fantastic, just go and buy one, you will not regret it.

IMHO;
1) Nice shot, the blue oblong at the top right is a bit distracting,but that`s a minor niggle.
2) She has a great smile, the arms spoil the shot.
3) Best one of the series by far; again to be a bit niggarldly the grey thing in the background is a bit distracting, but apart from that it is an excellent image.

TBH I do not like any of these, the poses seem forced, and the lady has issues with her eyes.
The best of the lot for me is No2, but there is an anoying thread or hair on her breast, ged rid of that and this at least could be rescued. Assuming it is a crop; re-crop from the original but shift the crop centre to the right, thus excluding the arm, and leaving some space to the side of her face.

Should k20d ask for the focal length
Only when SR is turned on.
It needs the FL to calculate the amount of sensor shift.

it beeped when in focus. K20d does not do any of this
is the beep option turned on in the menu?

And what will shake reduction help with? Apart from reducing shake?
