Review of the Pentax K20D
 

Some pros, cons, and comments from various DSLR camera reviews of the Pentax K20D.

Pros:  The Pentax K20 offers 14 megapixels at a competitive price. The camera has overall impressive performance. It is weather sealed. Has a nice control layout with multiple, easy to use switches,  controls, and easy to navigate menu. Wireless flash control is also standard. Enhanced Dynamic Range mode to bring out extra detail.

Cons: Slightly inaccurate colors. The shake reduction of the Pentax could be more effective. Burst mode not as effective as some competitors.

Comments : Overall, reviews show that the Pentax K20D is a very good camera for the price and matches up well with competitors. It is a solid model with high pixel count and feature set. Pentax users looking to step up should feel comfortable doing so, and if you have never considered of buying a Pentax, this DSLR camera may change your mind.

 

Additional Pentax K20D review comments :

-Image-wise the Pentax K20D provides appealing warm and rich colors when it is left on its factory default settings, and reproduction when using the supplied lens is extremely sharp. However, these positives can’t take away from the fact that the Pentax K20D is more expensive for anyone who does not need a high resolution DSLR camera for printing large images or the tough exterior.
 

-The Pentax K20D Digital SLR camera is a decent camera that comes with enough features to keep both  travel photographers and top-end enthusiasts, maybe maybe even some pros, happy. While the  14.6 megapixel sensor is a huge positive, it is the Pentax’s combination of function, intuitive layout, and relative ease of use that really make it stand out.

 

Compare to the Canon EOS 450D Rebel XSi. The Pentax K20D is slightly more expensive, and also marketed as a higher end model, then the Canon 450D.

 

Manufacturer :

With 14.6 megapixels, the Pentax K20D is the highest in its class.
Reviews show that the Pentax K20D DSLR offers both mid level and advanced photo enthusiasts an array of exciting innovations, many of which are developed by Pentax.
