Review : Great camera. Have the K10D also. They are both very well made, user friendly DSLR's. I would put the K20D up there with the more expencive Nikon and Canon units. Picture quality with up to A3 prints is amazing. Great camera. If your looking, you wont regret a K20D.

Review : Stepping up to a SLR was great and this was a very good camera. Mid range with the lower range pricing. 14Mp is huge and the speed to storage card was amazing.
Easy to use, fast and not too expensive.
