pentaxforums.com compresses the image further, degrading the sharpness. In my last photo, more of the tiny branches were visible in the original scaled jpg but on the board, they smeared.

EDIT: My guess is that the difference would've been even more pronounced on the K20D.

Thanks for all the effort in testing and answering questions here!

No problem.
