Product Description
The K20D from Pentax is the successor to the renowned K10D, building on previous performances with a 14.6-megapixel CMOS sensor (the highest in its category) and better light processing, thanks to its compatibility with most Pentax lenses. The K20Ds major advantages are its noise reduction system and its revolutionary sensitivity range of up to 6400 ISO, which ensure perfect photos without any loss in quality. Designed to be comfortable to grip by all hands, the K20D comes with a custom image mode so each user can save their favourite settings, and a shake reduction stabilisation system for clear, blur-free snaps in all circumstances. The K20D also performs brilliantly in dusty conditions and in the rain thanks to its weatherproof casing. Equipped with a large 2.7 LCD screen for improved handling, the K20D lets you stay in control! The K20D is supplied with a standard SMC DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL II zoom lens, making photography accessible to everyone!

 k20d a great bit of kit September 23, 2008

The 14.6 MB and good lens resolution enables this camera to often capture detail that is simply not visible with the naked eye. The sensitivity setting at 3200 iso also has revealed interior detail (Italian church frescos) using only low levels of natural light better than I could actually see! - and the grain can be adjusted.
The large lcd screen and zoom by the rear dial enables quick review of images to check success or otherwise.
I upgraded to this camera from a Milota 6.5 MB digital (no longer produced) which performed well and had features in common. At first I wondered if I had done the right thing. I have now used the K20D for architectural photography and 2 weeks of snapping on holiday and I have no doubts - this camera is robust, intuitive in its menue layouts with button short cuts (you do need to learn these) and full of functionality (this makes it semi-professional - there is a lot you can do).
So far on enlargement of images I have seen no significant halo or interference along edges and colours appear natural.
The software and cable link to a laptop enables the camera to be drive remotely (useful for architectural photography).
A great bit of kit!
Niggles - not many -
It is rather heavy to carry around but I didn't want to be without it,
Sv on the function dial dosn't mean shutter priority but sensitivity (shutter priority is Tv I suppose this is best remembered as exposure time)
Live view nice idea but never use it.
It might be my camera but I have set exposure compensation to +0.5 or otherwise images are rather dark
The linked software for use on laptop dosn't enable zooming in on images to check focus etc.
