Thanks, still.....I won't upgrade if the exposure problem isn't solved.
It is BTW focussing screen related, and not a problem with metering sensor or processor.

Martin.
There is a new focus screen as well.

Few images here but cannot make out much from them

From the blog

What I really enjoy:

1. The shutter is well dampened, nearly silent, and solid in its operation

2. 5.2 FPS (40 JPG Continuous Hi /15 Raw PEF, 14 RAW DNG)

3. Viewfinder with 100% field of view

4. Improved low light AF performance and AF algorithms

5. “Green” almost subdued focus assist lamp (it operates quick and efficiently and more subtle than a bright white light)

6. AF tracking in AF-C is vastly improved

7. The AF point selector toggles faster than on K10/K20

8. The mode dial locks in place with a centrally located release button

9. When in portrait mode, the rear LCD will orient itself in the portrait view as well. (No more tilting of head to read info.)

10. The dust removal system is now “hypersonic”, no longer a vibration, but a high frequency shake that is almost inaudible.

11. 3” TFT IPS LCD (it’s the same LCD technology used in the best color proofing monitors) improved clarity, anti-glare, and with 921,000 dot resolution

12. Longer battery life 900+ shots per charge

13. Magnesium alloy shell over stainless steel chassis (can operate at temps 14 – 104 degrees F)

14. 77 Multi Segment metering

15. EV comp is +/- 5

16. HD video recording at 720p (1280x720 resolution with 16:9 aspect ratio) at 30 FPS

Around 6:18, secondary focusing sensor???
I wondered if you would pick up on that one.

Trouble is if the pre production model is anything like what I saw when the 60-250mm was doing the rounds then it would put me right off buying one.

I'm betting it will be double the present K20D price.
Saying that I am still on the K10D and it looks just about what I have been looking for to be honest. I wanted better AF, more fps, decent live view and I wanted video so as long as the picture quality is up there I can see myself having one this side of xmas.
