Summary for Pentax K20D 14.6MP Digital SLR Camera with ...- A real gem! Just buy it!
Notes on Pentax K20D 14.6MP Digital SLR Camera with ...- You will not find a better camera in terms of image quality unless you're willing to spend $7000+ for a Canon Mark III or a medium format outfit. Just don't tell the guy who just wasted thousands on a ripoff like the D3 ;-).

This is THE perfect camera for portraiture, studio still and landscapes on a budget. Make sure you get top (prime) lenses (forget the 18-250). Don't even think about it if you're into sports and high speed action (get the D300). And don't get me started if you're one of those "experts" who needs a "noise free" shot at ISO 3000-25000 (who needs that, really!)

Notes on Pentax K20D 14.6MP Digital SLR Camera with ...- good value for money (especially as the camera was a present for someone in New Zealand.)
Only thing I could 'complain' about is length of time to receive manufacturers rebate....

Great camera for someone who has a vast collection of existing lenses.

Notes on Pentax K20D 14.6MP Digital SLR Camera with ...- This is one great camera! I bought it used from Shutterblade (through Amazon), and if it had been in the original box I would have thought it was brand new. Takes great pictures. If you want to step up, get one of these ... you won't regret it.

Summary for Pentax K20D 14.6MP Digital SLR Camera with ...- Pentax K20D has great features, but misses the mark on ergonomics
Notes on Pentax K20D 14.6MP Digital SLR Camera with ...- I bought the camera because of many "neat feature" points.
1) in-camera stabilization
2) 14 megapixel resolution
3) dust locator and auto cleaner
4) multi-image capture on same frame
5) etc, etc, etc (read the other reviews, I won't get into all of them here)

But what I have not liked so far is the grip. The camera's grip seems to be missing about 1/2 inch of circumference. My hands are fairly small, and I still think this is true. My previous Pentax PZ1-p had a fantastic grip, comfortable, and felt steady. I feel like this is going to fall out of my hands, because the grip is missing a little substance. My Canon 20D also had a great feeling grip. I bought the battery grip BG2, based on reviews that said "It was made for the k20D", and "it completes the camera," and other such comments. But the fact is, it makes it only a little better, it doesn't really "make the camera"
