  Pentax K20D
  By Margaret Brown
  
  Review summary: Pentax has designed its 14.6-megapixel K20D model to appeal to demanding photo enthusiasts but many of its features will also appeal to professional photographers. Like the earlier K10D model, the K20D is built to resist dust and moisture with seals ...

  The Pentax K20D; At 14.6Mp, The Flagship Of The Pentax D-SLR Line-Up

  Pentax K20D Review
  By JerryJ
  
  Review summary: When Pentax announced the K10D back in 2006, serious amateurs and professionals quickly started paying attention.
  
  Pros: Excellent build quality ; Larger release tabs for SDHC cover and battery cover ; X-sync port for studio strobes ; Nice resolution increase ; Still uses great in-camera Shake Reduction ; Compatible with every Pentax lens
  
  Cons: No significant speed increase over K10D (unless you count low-res 20fps mode) ; Questionable ISO improvement over K10D ; Live View mode is useless for moving subjects ; Confusing noise reduction menu
  
  Verdict: might just be the best choice you can make
