It's beyond my understanding why they had to wait for a firmware revision to do a basic preview like this. If there was a problem with "hot pixels" as claimed this preview could of been posted weeks or even months ago with a simple explanation that they have a problem with pictures and must wait for a firmware to fix that.

Perhaps they were hoping for an even quicker fix and planned to just put up the whole thing at once?

Actually, they DID a preview when the K20D first came out. This preview was supposed to be a stop gap for Pentax enthusiasts while they redo their tests with the new firmware. No doubt it will be up soon. Why in the world do you place such importance on their opinion? IMO we've already gotten opinions here on this forum that should carry more weight.

Hope this hasn't been mentioned somewhere else - but do my eyes deceive me? Pentax K20D at the top of the tree for camera with the most views @ DPReview!!!

And Pentax in 5th spot for clickshare - ahead of Oly!!!

Lets hear it from the doom and gloom boys - to bring a bit of perspective in to the world.

I found it amusing that DPR posted the info about the 1000D, then sample pictures and a preview in LESS than 3 days, while the K20D has been waiting in line since... March?
