Well, it seems that there was a "Remote Assistant" for the K20D. That's good enough for me. The K20D is a very capable camera, quite capable of making splendid studio recordings at ISO 100. I used it for this, which has a quite good image quality, regardless of the fact, that I edited it in Portrait Professional later on: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bladt/5512893505/
The K20D is a fine studio camera, some reviews even siad that the image quality is better than the one of the K-7. I will give it a try with the remote assistant software provided with the camera :-) Regards Jens -- Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself.
