The K20D manual states:-
The built-in flash cannot be regulated and fully fires when pre-A series lenses or soft focus lenses are used.
I guess this might also limit the capabilities of a hot shoe mounted P-TTL flash.

No it isn't. The redeye bit does produce a pre-plash but it plays no part in the calculation of flash power or exposure.
The P-TTL preflash is used to set the flash output to produce the correct exposure for the flash to subject distance.
I've no experience of the flash you have so can't help with the practicalities of setting it up properly.

Yes, set your camera to manual, set your required aperture on the lens (make sure you have the "Permit use of aperture ring" enabled in the custom menu), then hit the green button and have the camera set the shutter speed for correct exposure.And I see the green button, but not quite sure what it's for ? Anyone able to explain in the simplest language possible please ?

To be honest Bob, I think all of the pro dealers have hurriedly added the K-7 to their sites and, unlike SRS who simply show 'Deposits Taken', have used default prices. Chances are they may not even know their buy price yet. It is Pentax UK they are dealing with don't forget.
Also, 'street price' might be significantly cheaper when they are actually available.

Park Cameras don't see it that way. I thought that "Lens sold separately" was another way of saying "Body only".. . . also the price being bandied about as the recomended retial price (£1199) includes the 18-55 WR kit lens . . .
Scroll down further and you'll see that most of their 'kits' don't include lenses in the price either. The one kit that does have a lens includes the 17-70mm.
