Tut! Tut! Is it me or have you not corrected the lens distortion on the horizon

Just kidding Prieni its a very nice shot and the distortion hardly shows, the colours are really nice.

A recent thread by Clarky made me look at my file numbers to see how many shots I'd taken with the K20D.

I first set the image file to record as K20**** so obviously my first shots were K200001 etc, I got this up to around K200377 then the filenames jumped to K206377 and have continued from that.

The SCHC card has not been changed

Whats gone wrong (or what have I done) and how do I check the actual frame count on the camera.

Any Pentax DSLR will print up to A4 no problem but as others have said the higher res sensors allow you a bit more flexibility.

The question you should be asking is where is your photography going and what sort of camera will you need in the future, can you forsee buying SDM lenses for example, or perhaps you'd like take a step up to a more profesional body.

Olympus abandoned their customers when they dropped the OM system
Agreed!

I switched from OM to my very first Pentax, if Olympus had introduced and AF system capable of using exixting OM lenses I would probably still be an Olympus user. IMHO the OM cameras were every bit as good if not better than the Pentax "M" series

Rant over.

C'mon Clarky, you never seen a Gerbil? What do Aussie kids keep for pets?

One other point worth mentioning.

If your editing an image and have to save it to continue to work on it later DO NOT save it as a jpeg, save it as a PSD (photoshop file) or TIFF, saving as a jpeg will degrade the quality EVERY time the image is saved, not such a loss if you've followed the advice above and retained the original but a pain in the ass having to re-edit it

Well every cloud has a silver lining so they say, and Daves unfortunate experience has just reminded me I have'nt backed up ANYTHING that I've shot on the K20D so far
