I just got a K20 and I'm loving it. 16 images
Posted By: Damn Brit, 03-14-2009, 09:03 PM

I haven't posted any for a while but I have been taking pictures. I recently purchased a K20 and I'm loving it. Is it a good camera or what?
We all know how the K20 performs but I decided to put it through it's paces witha lesser rather than a better lens. The lens I chose is my trusty Tamron 28-300 and these shots are a nice selection to show off the K20s skills.
I hope you enjoy them and I hope it gives an idea of the quality of the output of this camera.

It's well worth looking at the bigger versions and even bigger versions can be found in the Gallery (link in my sig).

Congrats on the new hardware, Gary! Good stuff there. I'm a sucker for a good sunset and #8 grabbed me immediately.

Good stuff. I like the lizard shot a lot. Hard to believe that's 800 ISO too. Your your duck shot's a classic as well.

It's hard to explain just what it is, but I found the picture IQ to be a noticeable step up from the K10D.

Congrats on the purchase!

Wow, Gary, these are great, can't pick one, you sure made the K20D even more tempting in my eyes!
