Yes, but the size doesn't bother me. 83 exposures on a 2 gig card is about right for me. I was getting 72 on 1 gig cards with my D, and that was a happy combination. > 4.

You have to set color temperature manually for now. None of the software has yet been calibrated to work with the K20Ds DNG files. I'm just using the sliders in ACR and adjusting tint and temperature until I get the look I want. But that's what I do most of the time anyway. > 5.

Am I going to have to use the software that came with the camera? You can. I won't. Although Savage says it's pretty good. > 8.
