sent you a PM

Hi Ratcatcher,
The remote assistance is a program that allows you to operate the camera from a computer and/or download images straight to your computer when plugged in with the USB cable.

The first option is often used in scientific and wildlife as a remote triggering. The second is used in studios where images can be seen right away on a big monitor.

Sadly, I have not had a play with it as yet, but if you have difficulties I can always plug in the K20D

Hi ttk,
Yes I am a pro photographer who is also ditching Nikon, just got rid of my D2x bodies and the glass is going as well.
I am using the K20D with an 18-250mm at the moment picking up the new Pentax lenses this week

Nikon gear just seems to drop in price too quickly every time they bring out a new body and Pentax not only seems good value for money with at least equal quality in lenses and performance, but the K20D also won in the self cleaning stakes as I often have to work in remote locations, dust on the sensor can be a real problem, I also like the fact that it is weather sealed as well another requirement for the news photographer.

The fact that you can colour adjust the screen to match your monitor (easy to send images from the field using the net or phone and know the colour is good) as well as a host of other features as well
