I'll probably be finding out soon. Unexpectedly, my K20D is coming with a kit, (Yay!) so I will get to try one of Adorama's off-brand ones in there. From the picture, they look to be the same brand as my spare for the Lumix FZ-7 I've been using: there were no problems with that. It doesn't hold a charge quite as long as the stock one, something that I noticed after a while. I'm not sure if it's a matter of it not aging as well or if it just took me that long to notice. (With a P&S as it is, I have maybe once shot the battery near dry: mostly it's just convenient to swap batteries in and out for charging)
Anyway, it seems a fair value for money. We'll see how the K20D likes em. :) My thought is, eventually I'll break down and get the battery grip, and then I'll want three batteries to rotate: it seems I see some deals on the stock ones here and there that probably would make the pentax one worth it to me, if there's a difference.
