Hi,

I know this has been done to death, but is it accepted that images straight off the K20D (shot in RAW) are a little soft, and they can be sharpened if necessary post processing? You can only really see if you magnify the image on the camera display - not tried downloading any onto my computer yet.

Thanks, James

Can I just ask, how do you find the focus adjustment menu, and how do you know what firmware you are running? Can not find reference to either in teh K20d manual. I have performed a focus chart test, and it is ever so slightly back focussing with my DA* 16-50. No massive biggie if I can make the adjustment.

I spoke to Pentax, it is starting tomorrow, but can be backdated if purchased after 24th October.

Hope that helps, James

Thanks, all photos get sent to photobox for printing as I just can not fault their quality and service.

I use a laptop, so I think calibration of teh monitor may be difficult, but may give it a go one time.

Workflow is just processing snaps from walks, the garden, family etc!

Hi,

Camera arrived, and it is lovely. Not had much time to play but will give it a go at the weekend.

WHat is the best RAW converter software - Silkypix? Is this the only software I would need for basic editing as well such as cropping, doing a bit of curves work etc.

Thanks, James

I am not saying they are not good, however, going with a pro-centre, you get an extra year on the warranty, and more peace of mind should a fault develop. I believe warehouse express are solely internet based. Prices are good, the customer service was good when I arranged finance, but the fact they did not have any in stock meant I had chance to think about it, and decided to cancel, and then order from elsewhere.

Should be OK as long as I don't register it before the date the offer starts. I'm confident I will be OK.
