There seems to be some confusion over the red suares in the viewfinder. They do not show when the image is in focus, but rather where the point is that the camera is focusing on.
The green hexagon is the in-focus confirmation light and can be accompanied by a bleep if that is switched on.
Of course the other clue is that the viewfinder image looks sharp.

The pentax 18-250mm is currently being advertised at a reduced price as the lens is now discontinued. It's a good lens, nice and sharp, but suffers from a very small maximum aperture (f6.3) at the longer end. That and its bulk are the only real drawbacks.

I use a 7.1MP T30 and prefer it to the 10MP compacts. The resolution may be lower but the image characteristics seem less gritty.

I thought the comment was aimed at coloured cameras, like the white Km.

Don't forget thet the screens are made of very soft plastic and should not be touched. Blown clean is fine, but using a cloth could cause a lot of damage and then you would need a new one.

The fortnightly competition could quite happily be in the Gallery section, but no-one is forcing anyone to make such a move.
Just create a new competition in the gallery competitions ection if you decide to take that route.
Apart from nostalgia, there's no particular reason to use the posting in the forum route is there?

But no-one will pay a price that can support that sort of camera shop.

The K20D is a terrific camera so I'm sure you'll get some real fun out of photography.
