Pop Photo K20D review - March 2008: Pentax SLR Talk Forum: Digital Photography Review

Thanks for the link! I don't know how they use to measure the noise levels. But, if you take their K10D test as a comparism (link), they say K20D's ISO 400 is worse than K10D's ISO 800. Having seen several K20D samples and knowing how high ISO looks on K10D this is a somewhat surprising find.

Concering their AF speed test I think it's another surprise that the focusing speed of the K20D is exactly the same as the K10D's. On every light level, down to the second decimal place! I wonder if they really tested this or just said: "well, it's the same AF system, so let's copypaste the old results."

Bye.
