I can use a boatload of old accessories and lens from 25 years of using various Pentax film cameras.
Camera Review
Excellent viewfinder. Auto focus could be a little faster, but I am getting spoiled since I have never had auto-focus before. When given a chance it does a fine job.
I like the weather protection feature as general protection.
The standard neck strap just didn't work for me. Now I have a hand grip and it makes things much more convenient.
Built-in flash is too weak.
The standard lens is excellent.
Overall, I love it!

Hi Everyone,
I too, was warned about not posting, so here it is. I have been observing quietly though.
I am a long time Pentax film camera user and will probably make the leap into the K20D this year. Lots of lenses and accessories around that should be fun to use with a digital camera.
I do have a question about Live View. I have gotten used to using a small digital camera with a tiltable viewing screen and I really love it. So many options for different perspective, plus I grew up on ground glass views and I like to see the image with both eyes for framing and so forth. So... A. How do you like the Live View? and
B. Any word about a tiltable version in the future?
Thanks,
Bob
