(Yes it does happen with the K20D. It has the same grip )
Matt
Yes I realise that, so its a grip problem and not something that could have been sorted when they released the K20D?

If you are using the grip then make sure that one of the e-dials on the grip hasn't stopped "half-click" - when this happens it prevents the e-dial working on the body.

Does this happen with the K20D and grip as well?
Drives me mad sometimes.

There are too many posts like 'a few I took earlier ...' or just single word titles that don't mean anything until you open them.

One of my very big hates when it comes to forums .. titles such as :

What if?
Can I?
Should I?

Drives me nuts ...

We do seem to be having a bird phase but I am sure it'll pass when Scott has a picture of every bird ever to grace the shores of this fair Isle. Well, his back garden anyway.

I think not, Amin is sure to take his place

Out of interest I did a search on my Flickr for Robin .. I have over 40 pictures of the things .. who needs 40 pictures of a Robin?

nothing for a week until the item turned up on my doorstep Well I got the postage cost as it was written on the box, so I decided to send the payment via Paypal, but it has sat unclaimed in Paypal for 3 days, (i don't think the seller has an account). I left him feedback saying what a great seller he was
Please dont tell me it was the auction that had the 1.7x converter hidden inside otherwise I am likely to go outside and top myself in total disgust.

I'm surprised that £420 for a GX20 body excited so much interest. After cashback, our K20D + 18-55mm II packages cost us just £465 each.
There is no cashback now though so there is a saving to be had.
