I only turn it off when panning a shot, on a tripod I use 2 seconds delay or a remote so it gets turn off automaticly. Stefan K10D DA* 16-50, DA* 50-135, D-FA 100 Macro, DA 40 Ltd, DA 18-55 AF-540FGZ

It's not exactly a 'pretty' camera is it?
The K20d is quite attractive, but this one is a bit, well... Still, we can forgive it that if it improves on all the things we hope it will.

If it's a K20 upgrade(?) why change the name?
We've been expecting an all new camera, this seems a little bit of a let down. Lets wait and see what the UK release says and how the (independent) press view it. Cheers, HG K110, K200, DA-40, DA-100, Tammy18-250 + too many others, a bag of bodies,some lenses, the list goes on! (must remember the Zenits) I've some galleries here CLICKY LINK!

Nearly forgot smaller body.
Actually thats not a plus in my book but at least it can be made chunkier with the grip. My FLICKr My PENTAX GALLERy

sorry mike i will take my words and eat them, it sounds ok when its put like that, but will it be that much of an improvment, the fps ould be nice, but i thought it would have more af points, and still no sr switch.
