New Toy's Arrived! At least I think it's new..........

Hurray! My new Pentax K20d has arrived!

Boooo! It looks just the same as my current K10d!

Well sort of. It has a bigger LCD monitor and It has a matt black shutter button rather than a shiny silver one but that's it. I am hoping 50% more MP's will be noticeable and I reckon the 16 - 45mm Pentax lens that comes with it will be way better than the 18-55mm I have been using for landscapes, portraits etc. (here's hoping)!

I don't follow these things very closely but has any one heard whispers of Pentax releasing a true pro-level DSLR? I love my Pentax's but I think they really can only be considered as "enthusiast" or "semi-pro" (does that mean working only part time on photography or only being partly as good as a real pro?).

Please discuss! I am starting to think I am alone in cyberspace!

  1. You don't need a Pro camera to shoot excellent photos. It's still the person behind the camera who sees the finished photo in his mind, before he shoots the picture. A camera is only a tool, like the handyman has his tools to fix a problem to the best. :)

    This is my opinion to photography. You can make great pictures also with a pinhole camera :)

    btw, don't worry, we all feel sometimes like we are alone in cyberspace...
