OK I have to make a choice, and soon if I am going to get to grips with a new camera before our trip in May. (And before the K10D stocks are all gone.)

I would like to hear from those of you who have owned both models.
Is the K20D worth all the extra dosh? Would you wholeheartedly recommend one? Or do you secretly regret forking out on it as it doesn't offer that much improvement over the K10D?
I would love to hear your views on the K20D. I know everyone here loves the K10D but I want to hear more about the K20D.
I have already discounted the K200D as I don't want to go from a pentaprism to a pentamirror.

I like it.
Ok the relationship between stones and the tree is not clear, but I like the overall picture. The colours work well, the image in striking. It has an interesting surreal effect. I would hang it on my wall.

It is the sort of picture about which my ma-in-law would ask "But what's it supposed to be?". And when you reply "it just is" she goes "Oh".
A conversation we have had a couple of times - once for an Escher print, and once for the print of an abstract painting we have hanging on our walls.

What lens are you using it with? Not all converters work with all lenses.

I have just bought the Sigma -I didn't want a fisheye - I don't like the effect (sorry guys!). So far very happy with it but I haven't used it in anger yet, just played around a bit with it. There are many many happy owners of the Sigma here, and one or two who love the Pentax fisheye.

After reading the post through again I don't think anyone from here actually ordered one.
No you are right. Shame someone may have got a bargain. I may have tried it if they delivered to the Netherlands. Ah well, i shall just have to keep scanning the net for a bargain.

The German company is no longer listing there, only Amazon and that is no bargain.

If you go to buy, it does list it as a K200D.
No it doesn't. Are you clicking on the right link?

Not guilty! tempted but I didn't go for it - Amazon UK don't accept orders from abroad for anything other than books, even for sellers.
I'd have to go to Amazon De. May see if they have it there some time.

Edit: just had a look at Amazon Germany and they have the K20D at more than I can get it for in NL.
