Summary
I had a K 10 D that was stolen, so I caught the moment for un upgrade.
I think K 20 D repesent what I wanted to K 10 D and didn't find.
More precisely a very good Jpg, that, unless I quite alwais use Raw, represent the standard for every camera.
In every case you'll find a quality of image very impressive.
Because the need to buy another camera, I, at this moment, use only my old lenses I bought wih the LX, I have a lot and let me say that, for what I can say, they don't have nothing to blame with the normal zoom I could prove before.
I alwais thought single lens are superior to zoom and even if I have no Af or Automatic Exposure ( at the moment ) for a pkotographer like I am, for the most of cases they don't matter too much, specially considering the correction possibility of shooting raw.
Strengths
Today there are a lot of beautiful camera that I'm sure can give more than necessary for the most, but surely K 20 D has something more of the others, for a better price..
There is a lot of detail and colours are splendid.
The anty vibration system with all lenses is a point of force, even if you can't consider it a panacee for all, cause ther's none else that have this possibility without the need of other rings.
Weaknesses
Surely the who that wants ten frames per second doesn't find this very intersting, but are the few, of corse there are.
What I really think, for my today experience, is the noise at very high Iso, perhaps not the best, but certainly better than the most.
With K 10 D I found the cleaning system of bad quality, this seams to promise somethimg better, I hope it'll be.
