So it seems that there is some kind of sample variation here.
Personally I prefer having the 2 step feeling.

It's hard to say if there is K20D sample variation without doing actual
side-by-side comparisons. My "no resistance" might be Bill's "slight
resistance." Nevertheless, I found that I got used to the position where the
K20D activates autofocus without thinking about it. It's there whether one

Hi Jaume:
I have just checked my K10D and it has two distinct "steps": focusing
and shutter activation. On the other hand, my MZ-S behaves exactly as
the K20D you have described.

Shake reduction or not, a light but positive shutter release is desirable
for the same reason that a light but positive trigger pull is desired on a
target weapon. My K20 feels like a ery light two stage target trigger. I
quickly got used to it.
Perhaps it would be nice for some folks if th
I second that, Tim, even though the first part is very soft, hardly a notisble

Why do any of us need buttons on our backsides now that we have central

Because you can set the AF system so it's not activated by the shutter
half-press, but only by the AF button. That configuration works very
well with lenses that have Full-Time Manual focusing like most DA's,
it gives you manual focus with AF when you want it.
In fact that's how my D300 is current

I think it is: it just means more possibility to move the camera. I

Thanks, Paul. I have set mine likewise, since I'd never really use it for
focusing.
The thing about manual lenses I don't understand. My manual lenses seem to work
