You might be surprised by the way the K20D behaves in AF-C mode. From what I understand, you can choose to bypass the double AF confirmation. This means that the camera will take a pic when it gets the first focus lock, so it will not recheck the focus after that. This is exactly how the AF from i.e. Canon behaves. So please wait for the first reviews before you jump to early conclusions!
