It's simple, fast and to the point, all the things that make looking through it a pleasure!

I'll look forward to seeing it unfold as you complete the project.

Both are very capable cameras and the choice may lie in the handling. The K20D will produce better quality, but will be heavier and bulkier. It uses Li-Ion battery packs which last for a very long time on each charge. The K200D is more compact, has fewer pixels and runs on AA batteries.

Personally I think the K20D is worth the extra bulk and cost.

The 18-55mm kit lens is probably the best such lens on the market, distinctly better than the Canon or Nikon. You may well be pleasantly surprised.

I rarely use ISO above 400, but when I need to it hasn't been a problem It's noisier yes, but the result is sharp and that's better than a blurred image.

Hope that helps, and welcome!

The lack of promotion does seem perplexing, but I have wondered whether it's down to available capacity to produce enough cameras and lenses and the finance being available to build new capacity.

In other words, no point going flat out on promotion if the stock won't be available to fulfill the created desire.

Just a thought.

With respect Mike, you don't have a K20D, nor a K7, so making a judgement like that can't really be possible.

How do you know that if you bought a K20D now you wouldn't be amazed by the difference to your K10D and never look back....?

There is absolutely no way I would happily go back to the K10D when the k20D is, in my opinion and experience, a very significant step forwards.

Any residual messages will still be there but we all know not to reapond to them.

Every time an abuse happens ways to stop it are put into place. Spammers just keep trying unfortunately.

There's a new spate of Spam in private messages, aimed at new users it would seem.

Many thanks to those who have reported this abuse, which has now been dealt with by banning the errant user.
