You gotta understand that sharpness will be never enough

BTW apart from that sample; only recently I am convinced that sharpness between K20 and K-7 is not much different. But I prefer to stay paranoid and pixel peeping about the sharpness issue.
@cbaytan, please don't take personal offense. Not intended by my part. This other thread was run by owners all having the same issue in an attempt to help each other out. You had been the only non owner joining the thread. So, please don't be too surprised by a reaction similiar to a non drinker joining an Alcoholics Anonymous group
Back on topic.
I share your passion for resolution. This is why I was surprised by your comment. My question about lens and focussing applied to tests you were referring to. It wasn't targeted at you as you actually didn't contribute test shots.
But even w/o contributing test shots, you can help. In my blog, I posted resolution chart test shots for K-x (and K-7). The K-x looks suspiciously similiar to your Hot Rod test shots without an AA filter. Maybe, you can have a look at my Original size SmugMug version and provide your own interpretation of the results.
In particular, do you think that the K-x actually
IS a Hot rod Pentax w/o an AA filter? And if so, how then can't it be sharp enough?
BTW, K20D and K-7 have equal resolution, according to my findings.
