Be honest fokes....and I know I haven't had a chance to review one yet....if you had a chance to re-specify the current top of the range Pentax stills DSLR....the K20D.... would video be on top of your list?
No, it wouldn't be top of my list but I would take a K20D with video rather than one without.

The only thing that doesn't fit inside is the Bigma
Bigma fits in my 200AW attached to the K10D.
Mind you, I have to take all the partitions out and it sits in there nicely sideways.

Mine has never switched over, it just refuses to do so even if I turn the camera on and off a few times. Pain in the ***** tbh as the extra battery is the main reason I bought the grip.

I would buy the K-m and a couple (or 3) of nice lenses.
Coming from a P&S the K-m will be a major step up anyway and then look at something else in about 12 months time when more should be known about what is coming.

No purchases have been made ... I wonder why.

How on earth do you manage to cram that lot in Mike? I guess some of it is in the top section.

BTW: The DA 12-24mm isn't a * lens. I think you got a bit carried away there, or was it wishful thinking?
Well it ruddy well should be, it performs like one.
Would have been nice if it was at least WR though.

The fisheye and 50mm go in the top section, the 1.4x TC and wired remote plus a couple of spare batteries go in the front pocket.

Still trying to jiggle things around to get a macro or at least a set of tubes in there though

my guess is it'll stay disabled until the new lenses get updated, it is possible the wr kit lenses aren't the ones that'll do video af.... I'm betting there's something else coming...and a firmware update with the new lens will arrive at the same time...

in the mean time it's better to keep us guessing than give us a half-a$$ed working AF feature.
Indeed.
At least we know its possible at some time in the future.

Slingshot is very strong
My 200AW carries K10D with DA* 16-50mm, DA* 60-250mm, DA* 12-24mm, DA 10-17mm, FA 50mm, Tamron 1.4x Tc and small manual flash. Attached to the side is a Lowe lens case with a F* 300mm f4.5.

Bloody heavy though ...
