Rugged camera, survived complete dip on the Atlantic Ocean
I owned it less than a year, but the camera has been handled less than perfect. It has been dropped at least three times, but the true test was a complete soak.

Simply the Best

Most for the Money
This is the best camera for amateur-professional photographers. I’ve owned Nikons, Canons, and Minoltas (film cameras) in the past 30 years.

What you should expect from the K20D
Coming from the K100DS, the K20d is a vast improvement. The overall speed, responsiveness and quality are very good. Unfortunately the K20 suffers from the digital age.

Takes time to get used to but awesome once you do.

Pentax K 20D – Awesome Camera
I’ve owned a Pentax K-1000 in the past but did not know what to expect from them when it came to digital images.
