Of course we are, we're not brand snobs. Well . . . not really . . . as long as it's Pentax.

PS: Did your colleague buy from Jessops by any chance?

I'm reliably informed that the k20D supply will dry up fairly quickly after the K-7 hits the stores.

It may not be a technological replacement for the K20D, but if that's all you can buy very soon ? ? ?

I use everything in manual mode, I have more control that way.

The pin that needs to be isolated is the one at the top of your image, next to the locking pin. It will often short out on metal mounts (which most of them are).

The sensor is the same size (APS-C and 14+Mp) but there the similarity ends. The sensor has been completely redesigned and the PRIME image processing engine is new too.

Let's hope it improves noise immunity at high (800+) ISO.

Well, there is no info on the fact that the sensor is completely redesigned. The new one has 4 data lines for the data rates needed for video. the new prime engine was allso needed for video.

I can't find where I read it right now but the info was that the sensor was redesigned "from the ground up". I take that to mean that it's substantially, if not completely, different to that which is fitted in the K20D.

I don't suppose somebody should tell Pentax UK they have a new camera?

I already did. I sent them an email this morning. No reply as yet.

I agree about the expected image quality but the camera is not actually twice the price of the K20D at launch is it.

I was expecting it to be around £1000. £1200 is too steep for me but clearly some are going for it.

Surely extension tubes will achieve what you want Amin.

Why then is UK price £ 1,200.

Where did that price come from?

I think Park Cameras have the body at £1199 but I'm sure (hope!!) Chris at SRS can do better than that.

Guess I'll wait then coz I'm not buying one at that price.

I really want one. Want more switches-less menus (k100d user).
However yanks are paying $1,300 which is £ 830 at todays rate. Why then is UK price £ 1,200. What am I missing here? Or are our overseas cousins just getting a better deal yet again?
Please tell me to get over it, I really want an upgrade before the wife finds my cash

Resistance is futile
