I already got a price reduction just for delaying

400 € for k20d kit (without the lens - don't need them since I have the same from my k200d kit) + extras (sdhc cards 2 * 2 gb + shutter cable etc)

Seems she is comming my way ...

You can always use the 200 as backup and the 20 as the primary one

cheers

netuser,

you live in a wonderful neighborhood.

a k20d + lens for 400 euros? thats a sweet deal.

Peter Zack · 12-17-2008, 08:33 AM

I was sitting on the fence before but at 400.00 Euros, you should take the deal. Even if you don't need 2 cameras, you can sell one and not loose anything in the upgrade. I bet you can get a sweet deal on the AF540 as well and resell that.

Just buy it already :-) You'll be happy!

150€ is a sweet deal ?

Peter Zack · 12-17-2008, 07:26 PM

I think so!! That's $216 USD. If you don't want it, I'll buy it!

Don't think is a great deal to you since I'm on Europe and shipping "costs" plus soem more tax dutties might apply to you.

Peter Zack · 12-17-2008, 07:34 PM

I know but this is a $400 USD flash. you are getting it at hlaf price. Buy it and either use it or sell it and make $100 USD shipped in EU.

netuser · 12-21-2008, 07:04 AM

Have the k20d here with me for a couple of hours testing.

Seems all perfect/mint condition. Think I'm going to keep it lol

As curiosity, how do one check the total amount of actuations taken ?

**Kerrowdown** · 12-21-2008, 01:45 PM

I'm thinking once you've used it for a couple of hours, you wont want to give it back.

Guess that will answer your question for you.

netuser · 12-21-2008, 02:21 PM

I really don't need a new camera since I'm really very happy with my K200D but K20D got a new home since today, mine

Got the kit for the 400€ + 2*2 gb card + remote shutter included.
And surprise, he had also bought with the kid, extra warranty and even paid as option insurance for the camera. So I had to keep it

.... Maybe my wife likes the K200D as much as I do.

Concerning actuations, was really under 1000, more exactly 442. Was really surprised.

So, thanks for the opinions and FEEL GUILTY because you all made me buy a new camera when I was perfectly happy with my K200D

where you get the K20 for 400 euros?

The big issue is that you will have trouble going back to the K200D.

If you shoot M, you will be suprised how quickly you get addicted to dual command wheels.

and congrats
