Surpassed All Expectations! Bought instead of Nikon 300 or Canon
First, a quick disclaimer - I'm not a pro but probably fall into the serious amateur category after falling in love with my old Minolta Maxxum 7000 over 20 years ago. I'm the person behind the camera at all the parties and occassionally get the exceptional shot worthy of a few "oooh and ahhhs". I've also been holding out on buying anything more than a simple toss around digital until the cost and quality of dslr's were to my liking. As the price and quality of 10+ mp dslr's are now in the comfor .... Read more

Great RESOLUTION.
I'm a Wildlife Photographer. This is a great Camera. A little too good for the standard Pentax lenses. The resolution that the Camera supports is wasted on the optics of standard lenses. If you buy this camera, spend the extra 3 or 4 hundred dollars for the Pentax SMC DA* Series 16-50mm f/2.8 ED AL IF SDM, or the Pentax SMC DA* Series 50-135mm f/2.8 ED IF SDM lenses. The standard lenses are great for the K20d's predecessor, the K10D, but not the K20D. If you want to get the most from the K20D, .... Read more

Stunning camera
Old pentax 35mm slr workhorse user here. (with a ton of glass) When digital started I had the "state of the art" Nikon coolpix P&S that was... well... quick snapshots. Graduated to an Olympus c8080 and that was decent. Then *finally* Pentax came back on the scene. Finally get a chance to get the old lenses out of storage. And Pentax glass rocks!

One gripe tho... had to drill a hole the lens cap and attach some fishing line so I could just take it off and let it hang. Royal pain to h .... Read more
