Quote: I did feel disappointed though, one thing is features I had been hoping for like higher flash sync (where petnax was already behind the competition) no new buttons (wb button etc) no new grip with af button or new features in it like gps, wifi, ethernet etc. But fair eanough.
Well, we all felt victims to our own overexcitement about new models BEFORE we actually knew anything. Remember the last month! This forum crawled with people, who made guesses about new Pentaxes, said that "They should include this, they should improve that". What we got in the end? More and more guesses formed a vision of a SUPER camera, and we expected IT to come to life.
But this is a real life, nothing IDEAL exists. Nothing at all. And it's only natural, that the new K20D is not that ideal super camera that we came to expect.
I am among lucky ones, who got what was really wanted by them. I don't care about FPS, and I like current AF, so why ask for more. However new camera's IQ IS fantastic (at leat as long as I've seen), and that's what REALLY counts for me.
So what do we got in the end? A camera for people, demanding picture quality, good colors.
And a camera NOT for reporters, who need super fast AF and 5-7 FPS. Simple enough. So no point to argue about what Pentax did right and what they did wrong. They did what they did, it's almost here, you cannot change it, so please, dont bush anyone who loves it/don't loves it.
My personal opinion - Pentax made critical update, after all sensor is what produces the picture.
