After the battery expired during serial shots at low light, I replaced it; then the camera produced the same result after every change I made in terms of both program and value. Has any one had a similar problem with his/her K20D? Could it be a result of sensor warming?

[quote:3496ace15f="bforbes"]I've said no for two reasons:-

1/ I like to sit and browse in comfort with a coffee
2/ I like to see the images in their glossy form.

I totally agree and say NO!

Well, I recently bought one for my K20D through e-bay with an extra battery, very cheap compared to those expensive ones. It works quite well and even the shutter release on the side works well with a speck of a delay that's all. I am very happy with them so far. As it is so, I do not see any reason why I should spend so many dollars to get an original make.
Therefore I quite agree with you!

This is my first comment to the forum. I live in Konya, Turkey. I became a Pentax lover after purchasing a K20D. I got the kit lens, a 100mm macro and 50-200 zoom lens. For the moment all I need is a real wide angle lens that would fit, with a reasonable price. I must thank johnriley for his kind comment for my photo posted as "nature lover".
kind regards
