Downloaded the app last night and quickly checked out where I would need to stand to catch the sunrise coming up behind Coquet Island, at the appointed hour this morning my camera bag packed I looked out of the window, thick cloud cover every where, can't win them all That aside this is a great idea and a very useful program.

Number two for me, it's just such a strong image. Number three has elements that I like, especially having one biker with motion blur and two almost static, I wonder if they would have benefited from the shot being taken at a slightly faster speed. Having just made that statement, I'm no expert in this area.

Sorry I meant to say shutter noise, must engage brain before typing.

I have a K7 and love the camera, although I upgraded from a K10 and have never played with the K20. The video function is a nice novelty although for the difference in price I could have purchased a camcorder. I can only give a comparison against the K10, the difference is very noticeable, although maybe not quite worth the £750 - £800 price tag compared to £400 for a K20. Things that do stand out are:

Speed of processing images (I have taken a lot of long exposure shots this year)
Reduced lens noise
100% through the viewfinder
Live view
Spirit Level


Things I found frustrating:

The lock button on the mode wheel.
You have to press the OK button for spot focusing.
Different battery. (spare official Pentax battery £62.99)

Thanks for a great day, the weather was dull but the company was great. I was like a kid in a sweet shop, so many lenses to try including Tomkeet's weapon of mass destruction (FA* 600mm).

I'm not sure about my pictures yet, I've been catching up with some DIY

Amber, like the knot pictures.

Thanks again for the company

Graham

Now don't forget to charge your batteries and make sure your memory cards are back in the camera

See you all tomorrow

Graham
