I'll Thinking of getting a camera for work as they have bought lenses for
work buy used my body so to speak . so I'm a body sort with the amount of
lenses i have .

Now there doing a special at the moment on the k20d for 899.95 as i need the
body this is fine

my delimit is do i had over my istd camera which is fine to do the work
that's needed and upgrade myself or do i just buy the cheapest body i can
find ( there are so many jokes in that last line )


so really my question is if you have a k10 or a k20 which model would you be
looking to upgrade to ?

I love my K10 and while I would like a K7, frankly I can't
justify the expense for what would ultimately be a fairly
minor improvement. The istD to a K20 would be a pretty big
jump, so for $900 I'd probably consider it.
The things I like best about my K10 are:

the twin dials - it makes it so easy to change settings.

Dial and button placement - everything is in the right spot.
Means that I can operate all the important stuff while I've
got the camera to my eye.

Sv mode - I set the front dial to ISO and the rear to
program shift. Makes for very fast way of setting the camera.

Weatherproofing - more than once this has meant that I still
have a working camera. If I didn't have weatherproofing I
would have had to spend a fortune on replacement cameras.

Colour rendition - I also have a Canon camera, and I find
that particularly for landscapes, the Pentax wipes the floor
over the Canon for colour accuracy. Purple flowers stay
looking purple and don't end up either blue or red. Skies
stay blue, and don't end up cyan (although it often needs an
extra stop of underexposure to stop them being white). It
maintains rich greens instead of them all becoming yellow green.

What is the difference between a duck?

Thanks for that . I too are seeing the issues with expense from the k10 to
the k7

all thought 720p video through a 500mm lens with a 2x multiplier seems like
a nice toy to have .
