I have just gotten back from the press conference. As you all know the specifications, I will upload untouched JPEG's right off of the camera compression moderately in PS at 10/12.


As I have a size limit here go to the following to view moderately compressed full size images.

I'm honestly not overly impressed.

Not to say it's not a good camera, but I'm not blown away.

Also, that site is terrible... takes forever for it to load anything, and that has nothing to do with filesize.

smugmugs not the snappiest of sites but usually is OK for me...


like to see local prices for these units at the very least the competition could put a rocket under Canon and Nikons arse given the price gouging they inflict on us here in Australia (think US prices then roughly double them - which is the rough end of the pineapple given the 88c AUD to US exchange rates.)

Me neither. Not terribly good advertisement in terms of exposure.

That smugmug works fine. It was the first site he put up before that was bad. Smugmug wasn't there before.

Just goes to show you can't please everybody. I think the images are a good representative sample of the results direct from the camera. I am thinking about getting one, thanks for this lead.

Your welcome Carman..

I will be using my K20D's for my next up and coming shoot for "Harpers Bazaar" Spain in Mid March.

Will post once the post prod is completed.
