Thank you, Frank!
I'm infatuated, I won't lie. :-)
The one thing that's frustrating is, being the only person in this small
town I'm aware of with a keen interest in photography, I've got no one
to hand it to and say, "Here. Just hold that camera."
Yes, there's something to be said for ultra-light bodies and all. But,
the one thing I've always missed about using my Olympus E20n is how
solid and sturdy it feels in the hand. When I raise the K20D to my eye,
there's no "wander" like there is with the K-x. The K100D is better in
that sense, but just not on par with the K20D.

Thank you, Steven!
I'm really proud to own that K20D. I see my K-x as a capable body, as it
were. It does lots of things that the K20 won't do in the same sense
that a dragster does lots of things that a Toyota Camry won't do. :-)

Nice. The Dof is well used in the first shot. I also like the dog
catching the food. The K20D is a very capable body.

Thanks, Jack!
I have to say, I'm elated with the K20D. I never said "dammit" a single
time while I was using it -- which is more than I can say for my own brain.

Hi all!
Well, I'm just absolutely beaming right now. I L.O.V.E this camera!
The first thing I noticed about it was how much more quickly it focuses with my
A 50/1.7 and how I managed to get shots with it that I never would have gotten
with my K-x. There really is no comparison.
Here's about 20 shots I grabbed today -- out of a total of 86 taken. They're a
bit redundant, unfortunately, but that's because I couldn't make up my mind
which ones I liked best. I rarely get anywhere near that percentage in keepers
from either of my other two bodies. And I'm just astounded that anyone could
possibly have a knock against the IQ of this camera.
Anyway -- here are the results of my first outing with it:

Comments, critiques and suggestions are welcome as always. But, I have to say
I'm pretty happy with the results given the fact that I know almost nothing
about this camera. I can't wait to get familiar with it.
