Camera Test: Pentax K20D
Comments:
With rich features, a big 14.6MP sensor, and an estimated street price of $1,299, Pentax's super DSLR is a rare talent.

Comments:
The K20D ($1199, body only) is the flagship model in Pentax's digital SLR lineup. While it has the features of a midrange SLR (most notably its 14.6 Megapixel sensor and weatherproof body), the K20D costs several hundred dollars less than the competition.
Review Verdict: . The cameras aren't 100% identical, with the GX20 having different menus and, reportedly, different image processing

Pentax K20D
Comments:
When the Pentax K10D-10.2 megapixels full of DSLR goodness-earned a Mac|Life Editor's Choice last year (5 out of 5 stars, Jul/07), we knew it would be a tough act to follow.
Review Verdict: The K20D won't disappoint. It stands head and shoulders above other DSLRs in its class and easily goes toe-to-toe with cameras costing much more.
When the Pentax K10D-10.2 megapixels full of DSLR goodness-earned a Mac|Life Editor's Choice last year (5 out of 5 stars, Jul/07), we knew it would be a tough act to follow.
Review Verdict: The K20D won't disappoint. It stands head and shoulders above other DSLRs in its class and easily goes toe-to-toe with cameras costing much more.
QuickTake:
Pros: Superb image quality. Low image noise at high ISO settings. Pro-quality weatherproof build. Side-by-side image comparison. Excellent ergonomics
Cons: Flash must be raised manually when used to assist focusing. Documentation could be clearer. High-resolution continuous shooting could be faster

Pentax's profile deserves a boost if the new 'armour-plated' 14.6 megapixel Pentax K20D DSLR is anything to go by.
Review Verdict: While nearly £900 is not cheap for a consumer-targeted camera, the Pentax K20D's build and performance go some way to justifying the price tag. Speaking of which, the K20D has a doppelganger in the recently introduced Samsung GX-20. Since the two co...
