If you stick below ISO400, I still reckon K20D IQ is hard to beat.

I think the type of in-camera noise reduction you can turn on and off only applies to jpegs. Shoot RAW+jpeg and see how your own efforts in LR compare to what the camera does with the jpeg!

Long exposure NR (dark frame subtraction) is slightly different - it can be turned off for exposures under 30secs if you are shooting long exposures and don't want the camera to lock up while it performs dark frame subtraction.

And why did they skip K-Y?

Pentamirror, smaller viewfinder. And it's plastic!

Came across this guy after reading a thread on dpreview. He uses a Nikon D3, but has recently also started using a Pentax K-7 for his work up in the Arctic. Aopolgies if this has been brought up in the forum before!

There are also a few K10D, istDS and even OptioWS80 shots in there!

I'd go to Pentax Uk and click on 'after sales'. That will take you to the contact details for Johnson's Photopia. But since the repair will cost, and the on board flash is fairly limited, maybe a cheap flash unit would be the answer?

Really Gwyn? I think the extra hundred quid or so is well worth it for a proper underwater camera. I can't see what differentiates the cheaper optios from other cheap and cheerful digicams, but the w90 seems genuinely useful.

I definitely would not bother! Can't see any real advantage in it and even if you didn't ruin the lens, who would want to buy a lens tinkered with in this way if you sold it.

I think of it as a lens I could have bought (Or percentage of!)

I'm glad to hear the rumour that the K-r will have an AA battery insert, which gets round these issues... we'll see more on that tomorrow I hope!

I think that spending £50+ on something so simple as a battery just rankles, Terry.
