Hi offertonhatter
Re your point:
Quote: The K20D is totally the one to go for for IQ, which in the end is what we all want, the best IQ !
Erm, not
quite what WE
all want ! I also require
fast and accurate auto-focussing especially under difficult lighting conditions, but then perhaps it's asking far too much of Pentax at the K20D's particular price point ?
There are obviously plenty of other brands further up the food chain which, finances notwithstanding, I could choose from if I wished to follow the machine-gun approach so beloved of sports and action photographers, but then fortunately that's not my normal style.
One of the main reasons why I decided to stick with the K10D for the time being is that despite the acclaimed benefits of the new sensor, I don't personally feel that there are sufficient improvements to justify the upgrade. My primary interests lie mainly in travel, landscape & architectural photography, so in many respects the K10D happens to suit my style of picture taking very well.
However, it pains me to say this, but in my honest opinion I believe that Pentax's implementation of Live View on the K20D is particularly ham-fisted, when compared with what's currently on offer from competing manufacturers.......just my $0.02 cent's worth
Best regards
