Pros:
Best-in-class megapixel count. Great, sturdy design. Good interface. Sensor-shift stabilization. Above average noise-management. |
 |
Cons:
Not the best image quality from an APS-C sensor. Shutter and ISO ranges are on the low-end. |
|
| Conclusion: |
|
| The Pentax K20D brings 14-megapixel photography to the prosumer market, and it does so with quality. It's a solidly built, borderline mammoth camera with sensor-shift image-stabilization and excellent RAW support, and it has a snappy action that makes it a joy to use. Image quality isn't quite as eyeball-popping as a full-frame DSLR, but for a more modestly priced prosumer, it's nevertheless impressive. For budget photographers shooting stock, in which size is indeed everything, the Pentax K20D is an absolute no-brainer. For everyone else, it's still a DSLR that demands serious consideration. |
