Thanks to everyone for your input, the light has come on after reading Entropy's thread. Looking forward to taking my HDR to the next level including night time. I guess I will need to research auto-DFS, investing in a K5 is not an option at this time.

From my experience for in store you have two choices both downtown Toronto; Vistek Queen Street East just west of the DVP and Henrys again the downtown store Jarvis & Queen. The Oshawa & Pickering stores (Henrys) do not make the grade in product range and product knowledge. Online the world is your oyster.

Anyone out there with HDR experience using the K20d? I have been experimenting the last couple of weeks. The generally accepted method is auto bracketing 3 and up exposures with a EV range of +/- 2 EV. The K20d can "AB" 5 exposures however the EV steps are 1/3 or 1/2 EV which equates to a max of +/- 1 EV. I am amazed at the results at that (however its early days and I have a lot to learn), but I am wondering if I am leaving considerable DR on the table. Can anyone tell me if I am missing anything regarding the capability of auto bracketing with the K20d?

Just joined this community, however just about the time you had your rain damage problem, I had a similar experience. I left my K20 with pentax 16-50 f2.8 out all night in one of the worst storms of the summer in central Ontario. The next morning thought I had killed it. Took it inside wiped dry, disassembled (batteries, lens) used hair dryer (warm) to dry all exposed parts. left inside for three days before re-assembling. started shooting without issue, did not lose any data on memory card and have not looked back. Guess I lucked out.
