it will benefit us all.
Seamius, I think you were just called "old". Speaking as someone who is on the threshold of being old, it's not so bad.
losecontrol,
Arguments for your friends....
- Some of the best quality lenses ever made were and are Pentax
- Ability to use just about every lens ever produced for Pentax bodies
- Shake reduction in the body versus having to spend extra on EACH lens to get it, which means EVERY lens, even those really old ones, will have SR
- Very easy controls
- Price
- Weather sealing
- To some, image quality is better, though this is subjective of course
This is a short list. There are other reasons.
As far as their complaint about the K20D underexposing, as was said, that's just a factory setting that you can change if you like. All camera's come from the factory preset like the manufacturer wants. Pentax by default slightly underexposes. This is not a bad thing necessarily. It's better to underexpose slightly than overexpose slightly. But as was said, it's just a simple setting you can adjust....all DSLR's have it.
