No's 2 & 4 for me. Number 2 just works so well. It's a brochure shot.
Well seen, captured and presented.

Tried out a Nikon D700 from a friend but when mounting the body cap I turn it on like I'm used to but you need to turn the other way with Nikon, lucky it was just the body cap I agree about the lens fitting but I find that using both cameras does not cause conflict.

I am not tempted to trade my Pentax gear for Nikon at any time at all. I am not troubled by the fact the range is small - how useful is it to have an expansive range like Canon or Sony when very few features differentiate them? Not only that how many of us use all these features anyway? I feel as if I am still learning my K20D, which is not a bad thing
I agree about the lens fitting but I find that using both cameras does not cause conflict. I used both at the Whitby Goth weekend and had no issues switching between cameras.K10D wrote:

My D3 is totally different in operation to the K20D, even the way the lenses attach to the body. The D3 purchase was prompted to satisfy a need that wasn't being satisfied with the kit I had. Partly operator error I was tempted to trade all my long lenses for the DA*60-250, and get the 70-200VR1 + TC-20EII for the birds and the planes.[I'm actually looking for the best price on another D700 as a second Nikon body.

I didn't trade anything of my Pentax kit for the Nikon kit. I was fortunate to be able to get the lenses abroad at well below UK prices.
I like your point about still learning the K20 features. I tend to use all of my camera bodies the same with minimal settings adjusted. Either I'm too lazy to use the functions or I don't need them? My LX's etc don't have all of the functionality of a DSLR but they take sterling images with the same glass.

Had Pentax anounced another body that was a step up from my K7, I'd buy that instead, but?????? Life is too short.

The council in question is having a laugh. A knee-jerk response by ignorant staff.
Criminal Pentax shooter?
I'm sure there’s a few about. They normally use large caliber Nikon or Canon equipment........
Rumour has it that the lens coats for the 400, 500 and 600mm barrels are actually sound moderators?
Best take care and beware...

Just had a look here link
and even though I don't use Canon DSLR's, I couldn't help but think "lucky so & so's. The zoom fish eye is rather impressive never mind the seriously long stuff.
