Pentax K20D Digital Camera - First Shots

Comments:
We've shot most of our test suite with the Pentax K20D, but have found the "hot pixels" some readers have reported with the camera, even at low ISOs. We're awaiting word from Pentax as to whether a firmware fix is in the works, but in the meantime, have

Product Rating: 4 star(s) Pentax K20D

Comments:
The K20D's controls aren't elegant or efficient, but the images seem more 'natural' and less 'digital' than its rivals. It has some clever and effective features like dynamic range extension and dust alert. Flawed but with sparks of sheer brilliance.

Pentax K20D

Comments:
The K20D is a very nice reflex. If it lacks a bit of ambition compared to its predecessor, there is an impressive technical sheet (large viewfinder, stabilization, anti-dust and 14 million pixel sensor). This is a model that will please those who like exp

Product Rating: 4.5 star(s) Pentax K20D DSLR Digital SLR Review

Comments:
In mid January, it's good to get in the sun, so when Pentax took Matt Grayson to the burning desert to test their new DSLR, he packed his SPF50 with glee. It's just a sha

Review Verdict: The upgrades from the K20D make the camera that little bit more interesting. Even though Gabrielle Remmers said that Pentax are not entering a pixel race, it's amusing to see that the K20D has the highest pixel count in its class

Product Rating: 4.5 star(s) Pentax K20D Review

Comments:
When it was first announced in January, the new Pentax K20D led the megapixel race for consumer DSLRs, offering a 14.6 megapixel sensor. Since then Sony have also unveiled a 14 megapixel camera, the A350, so Pentax no longer have everything to themselves

Review Verdict: At first glance the Pentax K20D simply looks like an incremental upgrade of the K10D, with relatively few additions on offer apart from the headline-grabbing 14 megapixel resolution. Whilst the increased image size is certainly worthy of attention, Pentax

REVIEW-PENTAX K20D DSLR & Pentax 18-55mm lens

Comments:
: This is a 14 megapixel (CMOS) evolution from the K10D with many of the same features - sensor-shift image stabilisation, dust removal, rugged construction and good ergonomics. There are a number of body seals to keep out dust and moisture with the memor

Review Verdict: : The Pentax K20D is an improvement on the already good K10D. The new 14mp CMOS sensor delivers finer resolution without any apparent increase in noise. Compared with the Nikon and Canon competition the Pentax feels a little rough and gritty. The body gra

QuickTake:

Pros: : The quality of images is really quite remarkable. We used the camera to take a sequence of photos of a white cat. This is as hard as it gets for exposure and dynamic range. The Pentax produced images in which every hair is sharp and no detail is lost in
Cons: : The LCD review screen is poor. We found it difficult to judge the quality of an image in review mode, which led us to suspect that our white cat photos were all under exposed and soft in focus, which they were not. The screen is the Achilles' heel of an

When Pentax announced the K10D back in 2006, serious amateurs and professionals quickly started paying attention. The K10D was more rugged and feature-packed than any Pentax digital SLR before it. In 2008, the company decided to update their line with the
