Interesting to read about the K7 but not tempting as I've just bought the K20D, very impressed so far I am too having upgraded from my GX10.
Looking at the K7 it seems more of a "functionality" move forward than an IQ one - this won't make a significant difference to everyone, certainly wouldn't to me.
One think I read with interest is about the new "improved AF system" - to be quite honest I never had a single issue with AF on the GX10, although I didn't shoot much low light & I guess this is where the weakness perhaps lies?

A nice series of shots..difficult to pick a favourite, probably the sunset ones overlooking the river..
strangely I live 15 minutes away from Chester but never visit to photograph it - you've just given me a few more ideas !!

Having just bought the K20D I've no intention of buying the K7 but like others I'm interested in how it stans up against the competition. I've also read quite a few reports on K20D performing better as high iso - I think we'll probably have to await the "official" test to be sure though.
When I bought the K20D a couple of weeks ago it was simply a case of considering how the extra "upgrades" on the K7 would help with my photography, I personally came to the conclusion that for my needs (landscapes) the K20D has the main requirements ...more detail from the 14MP sensor. The K7 pricing could be quite a hurdle for it gaining new non-pentax customers

Thanks again everyone for the help...I've now finished the main "tweaks" & would appreciate your thoughts on the finished product..
I've lightened the initially quite dark grey background..I know grey looks a little boring but I find it doesn't distract much from the images, which obviously is the main idea of a photography site

Unfortunately this is an area Pentax/Samsung lag well behind the opposition - Live View on the GX20/K20D is pretty much on there for marketing purposes only, it's only a half-hearted implementation.....I long for Live View as good as on the Konica Minolta A200 I owned a few years ago (moveable LCD a must !!)

The slide show is OK because it's only the introduction.
I don't mind the scrolling thumbnails, and those pages look stylish.
Viewing the individual images: The blue triangle buttons for prev/next image are far too small and too low on the page. The left/right cursor keys do the same job, but not everyone will realise this.
Larger images would be preferable, though I suppose the size is restricted for anti-theft reasons?
All the pages are a bit too long for viewing on a 1280x800 laptop display via Internet Explorer without scrolling down. It would help if there was less space under the titles.
The photos are attractive and deserve to sell. Best of luck with that.
Thanks for that...I've managed to modify both the next/previous buttons and moved the close icon to a more obvious placeThe slide show is OK because it's only the introduction.

Which version of Opera are you using ? I've just downloaded the latest one and evrything is pretty much o.k - on the homepage the last 2 menu items (links/checkout) have dropped underneath the rest, the title is right in the frame
thanks
