Originally posted by RiceHigh How long should I need to handle a K20D when it started to hunt in AF, for example, most of the time I picked up such a Pentax camera and shot (not for me for course)?? And Yes, I know that its a PENTAX even I was not allowed to look at the camera just because only Pentax DSLRs behave like that!
How long?? You say.
Yet on DPReview when they reviewed the K20D they state in the Pros section:
"Accurate, reliable auto-focus"
Even in the Cons section they qualify their criticism pointing out relative cost differences:
"Autofocus not as fast or consistent in low light as the more expensive competition"
And in the Conclusion, they plainly state:
"The autofocus, while never breathtakingly fast, is also never intrusively slow for general shooting. Using enthusiast-level lenses (16-45mm f/4 or 35mm f/2.8 Macro), its performance, even in low light, has been at least comparable with similarly-priced cameras, if not quite up to the standards of the more expensive, similarly-specified cameras from other brands."
We know the K20D isn't the fastest AF camera out there. We also know it isn't slow or a problem, and we DEFINITELY know we got a hell of a lot of value for money.
So effectively the most respected camera review site on the web agrees with what all us users say, and disagrees with you.
