Rob, bit off the subject (sorry) but were you using your 60-250 at Duxford? How did it do, love to see some pictures
Back to the subject, there are positives and negatives in all cameras from all manufactures, that's the way it is. The all weather capability of the K20D and DA* lenses is certainly a positive in the situation you described at Duxford even if the FPS capability was a slight negative

Roger, have you checked to see whether your K20D and lenses are focussing accurately?
It could be that you have front or back focus issue with your lenses.
Luckily with the K20D it can be relatively easily corrected with a few tests and menu setting changes

Looks a very nice little camera
Just wonder how the the DA* lenses will look on it?
Just noticed the HDR feature in one of the photographed menus...interesting

Sorry Mike, actually I wasn't directing the questions at you, more commenting on the text you had reposted
It seems over on the other Pentax fan site that this text has been pulled from the product release poster you have posted so it looks to be pretty genuine info.
I am also a bit surprised that the body is Magnesium alloy, I would have thought the tough plastic on stainless steel chassis is a tried and tested approach that works well.

Nearly, almost, not quite 100% view finder coverage Sounds good but how close are we to 100%?
'supersonic dust removal system' that sounds like the Olympus system to me, commonly thought of as the best system in the business. Wonder how Pentax got around the Oly patents or maybe Oly are licensing the technology to Pentax?

Ah that explains the 'cassette' loading system rumour I had heard about. And wasn't it that the new grip will house the 'auto' sensor load system?These sensors will be housed in a little case similar to a memory card and slotted in as necessary. A four thirds sensor could be available at launch and includes an Oly to PK adapter.

I managed to take a few with my 60-250 at the recent Abingdon Air and country show. Not in the Duxford league by any means
