I must say I'm quite happy with my K20D. I'm actuaælly considering buying a second one. Perhaps I should go for the K7 in stead. Or maybe the new K7 will make used prises of the K20D drop a bit (if any are available at all). I'm definitely selling my K10D. I just use it for back-up and for aerial photography, where I need two bodies - one for the FA* 2.8 28-70mm and one for the FA* 2.8 80-200mm. (Great outfit BTW :-) - I love those two lenses a lot - heavy - but they're good.... Regards Jens
