I've been too busy to really look at anything I've taken since Wednesday. One of the things that I've been doing is setting the K20 up in the high, back corner of the Santa Cruz Civic, on the interval timer, getting a shot every minute, or minute and a half. It shows the room filling up as people come in for class, and the dynamics of the room as people listen to the instructor, or practice technique. It is, however, quite frustrating that I can only shoot 99 frames on the interval timer. To do a stop action movie, I'd much rather shoot them every 10 seconds or so, but if I want it to last a two hour class, I have to pull the time back to 90 seconds. Likewise, for an hour class, I shoot once a minute to get some of the things going on before and after class. Try an eBay interval remote. They're cheap, easy to find (K20D takes the same remote as a Canon Rebel) and shouldn't have the 99 shot limitation. I've also found that manually focusing my sigma 20/1.8 at those distances can be subtle and tricky. One thing that I've noticed is that Beau's D700 is hella loud. It makes the K-x seem whisper quiet in comparison. I've yet to see a quiet FF DSLR. A pity since there were some _really_ quiet AF film SLR's (the Canon Elan 7's are ridiculously quiet) I have also been wishing that my 16-50 were 24-75 and just as fast. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est Tamron makes a great 28-75/2.8 that's reasonably cheap.

Sharing a shooting position with a photographer using a D3, I couldn't believe how loud his camera was. He commented that my Metz 60 flash was louder when it fired than my K7 was.

He commented that my Metz 60 flash was louder when it fired than my K7 was. In my experience, the only dslr-like camera that can beat the low loudness of a K-7 is a non-dslr camera. The Leica M9 is a bit better, but only provided you enable its delayed shutter cocking option. Otherwise it has a disturbing bog of a noise, reminiscent of film advance.
