Thanks Tooks and ttk !

I will go to the nearest photostore that sells Pentax and get a feel for the K20D. Haven't held it or seen it IRL. Another plan I have is to buy new lenses and a flash to my Ist DL and wait until they will release k30d. Hopefully in 2009. I must say that I think it's strange if Pentax decides to release it soo soon.

ttk: Congrats to GB and Lewis Hamilton...I'm a Ferrari fan and will always be. Hope Massa will take it next year ! If Massa had won the WC in Brazil, I don't think that would've been fair...Lewis was the better man this year. It was sad to see, that David couldn't finish his last GP and recieve the checkers flag Already waiting for the 2009 season !

Okey !
I seem to get a lot for my money if I buy this camera. Why isn't so that Pentax are appealing to the Pro ? They usually go for Nikon or Canon...
Read about rumours that Pentax will release a K30D, do you think that K30D will be released in 2009 ?

Hi Terry !

Thanks for your quick reply. So you are a pro photographer ?
Yes, I will..I'm from Sweden

Is it quick to start up ? The limit is three frames per sec, if your not using the burst mode, but with continues shooting it will not stop after three frames and buffer ? The Ist DL that I have now is doing so, three frames and then stops. To continue, I need to press the shutter again.
Are there more settings to adjust ?
If you shoot at night, and go for a higher ISO, what about the noise level in your pictures ?

I usually shoot mostly motives from nature, architechture, night photography and so on...

Hi there !

New to the forum, but not to the pentax DSLR...
I own a Ist DL and are planning to buy a new K20D. I'm at a crossroad and wonder if you all can give me advice. How good is the K20D ? Any problems that is good to know before I make my decision ? I have three DSLR cameras that I'm choosing from, and they are as follow: Canon 50D, Pentax K20D and the new Olympus E-30. Anyone who has experience in using the K20D, for shooting motorsport/action/outdoor events ? Positive and negative feedback is welcomed.

Thanks !
