Yes Ken absolutely. I still have my K10D's and as strange as it may seem and please forgive me if I offend, I do not think that 100 percent magnification on the K10D is accurate nor correct. In observing the images closely, I find that between 90-95 percent is closer to the truth i.e. prior to seeing the pixels. With the K20D, even going to around 105 percent the evidence of pixels is more subtle.
The difference in sensors i.e. Sony vs Samsung is quite flagrant. It is really like two totally different camera's or more specifically and this may be a good thing, like two bodies with one using Fujichrome 50 and the other using Kodakcolor Gold 100 negative film. The K20D being the Fujichrome.
One more observation. The K20D has a smoother gradation in how it renders images. It takes better to interpolation than the K10D does. However, a little secret. Want your images to look smoother with the K10D. Up-size the image in PS using Bicubic Smoother by 1 or so percent. You will find that the pixels are now not as harsh, nor as evident as they were prior to doing so.
OH, one more thing. Great Glass HELPS a Lot!
