I have had my K20 for about one month and enjoy it immensely. the biggest quirk for me has to do with live view. It would be nice to have a function for live view to show the effects of exposure rather than having little images taken. A live exposure view would be more handy than taking a series of exposure preview images. I would think/hope this could be an easy firmware up grade similar to the new 1.01.

I also find it strange that you can't see the shutter speed displayed along with the aperture or for that matter change them during live view.

I bought a digital SLR for the optical view finder but have occasions where the LCD screen is handy. Have you ever looked at the sun through an optical view finder with a 200mm lens? can you still see properly? Burnt retinas can be avoided using the LCD. I find this very handy for taking sunsets with the sun still above the horizon.
