It's more than the 4MP between the two cameras. The K20D is an updated K10D. The K200D is a K10D light. I think the lack of the exposure +/- button is the 200's biggest draw back for me. I live with that button when I shoot in aperature priority mode. I was at first worried about the battery when I was deciding to got my K10D and what ever *ist was out at the time but I've gone a whole week of vacation and then the following weekend of heavy shooting on a single charge. I don't take the charger with me on trips as I know I won't need it.

DPReview shows that button still on the 200. Or are you speaking of something different? :confused:

I know that there is a lot more to it than the 4MP and I will probably end up getting the 20 over the 200, though I am still not sure. At least I got a refund from the feds on my taxes to help on that front.

Good morning Box.

I had a wonderful time dealing with UA last night. We had a connecting customer arriving on their HNLSFO flight. He had called the HNL station to advise us that his flight was late, very late due to a mx delay. Of course he was booked on two separate tickets but what do I care, a customer is a customer, no matter how they get to us.

I contact UA to see just how late, late is. Plane won't be arriving until 12:16am and the man is checked into the IAH redeye 12:35am departure and has been EUAed. I asked UA if they are going to rebook him and the customer planner says, no way, he is on two separate tickets and is on his own. So I rebook the man via SFOEWRCDG on our first morning flight. I contact his wife with the new flight information.

The man was left checked in because you never know if he's going to make it. I call UA once again and his flight hasn't made up any time but we still leave him checked in. At 12:20 we unseat him and give away his F Class seat to the next person, which happened to be a non-rev.

At 12:23 we close the aircraft door and we see the man running down the hallway, clutching his shoes, belt and small handcarry. We re-open the door and advise the man that his seat had been given away but he can sit in a nice aisle coach seat.

I have no idea how he made it from the UA gates thru security to our flight in under 8 minutes but I'm glad he did.

Gotta love UA for following those rules and customer service be damned.

They moved the button from the location of the 10/20 because of space I supposed. My bad. The 200D is much closer to the 10D than I realised. Same sensor and shake reduction.

WOW! I don't know how he made it through security either, but that was nice of you all to re-open the door. ^

Yeah, this marketing alliance is going to be a doosie. :rolleyes:

About $100/stay for Sheraton TPA Airport and Aloft Rancho Cucaracha. I need the stays to hit my second night-after-night 5K bonus.

Hmmm, where in ONT are you staying? I don't see anything around ONT, just stuff down by LAX.

+1

So you're bailing too, huh? No SQ 388 for you?

That's a pretty quick cut off. According to Plus1, I don't think anyone should ever be cut off :o

That's awesome that you guys went out of your way so much.

UA at SFO is the worst group of ground crew I have ever experienced. They are the single worst UA station and have no idea what customer service is, even for those with status.

I was looking for the Aloft but it appears to be gone. :mad::mad::mad:

I may have misinterpreted standard discount rates as Starpicks, due to the presence of a :-: next to the rate on SPG.com. I can't actually access Starpicks from work, because our firewall blocks it as a pr0n site. :rolleyes: Still, the discounted rates of $89-$100/night seem reasonable enough, especially as I need the stay credits for the promo.

:rolleyes:

That's proper customer service, very nice of you.

Ahhhh, I was able to get a rate of 92.56 with a corp discount. That makes me happy. :D:D

Three times in the last two years for me. But I did convert a mess of otherwise-not-very-useful AA miles to HHonors last week, so I'll find a positive use for them. ;)
