If the new 77 segment metering system allows for certain parts to blow out (reflective parts) the problems would be gone.
That would be handy, gives me a good excuse to buy the K-7.
Just explain to the wife if I don't buy the K-7 then I am going to have to buy Matts E-book instead.

Apparently pre production firmware but would be interested to know what K20D users think compared to what they are getting now.

That said the yen seems artificially high to me - too many hedge funds unravelling and buying jap govt bonds pushed the exchange rate up, if I understand it right.

Bu isn't that exactly what happened with the pound, it was apparently massivly overvalued against the dollar and thats why the crash was so large.

The *ist-DS and the *ist-D had correct metering to my knowledge. The newer camera's sometimes had some problems with metering.

If you use the focus screen from either of these cameras in the newer body they supposedly meter much better with older lenses.

Isn't the metering of older lenses all to do with the focus screen in the K10D/K20D?. I believe they are using new larger screens in the K-7 so maybe it will be better.

As per title, excellent unmarked condition optically .. very small crack in plastic viewer. Works 100%. Pentax front cap but generic rear.

Last one I sold on Ebay went for £120 plus postage but to be honest I'm not sure what this is worth with the crack .. I doubt it makes that much difference to the price but will accept offers rather than dump myself in it.

Chris.

Will people be able to use their own memory cards and keep the pictures/video shot (at high iso for example) for display on here?
