What are your thoughts? I've been having looking for a while and nothing within price range really made me say "YES I need that" other than the jittery feeling I got with the K20  Before I had the Canon 350D so this would be larger step up. |
Lets see here.
Well the reasons why you wouldn't want to get a K20D are:
- If you need really good flash performance
- If you need really good AF in low light
- If you need faster then 3 FPS
- If you need really good AFC performance
- Don't buy it for the live view, it's very primitive on the K20D
Now some pros:
- Very nice noise control up into higher iso values
- Very solid build, with some of the best ergonomics around
- Built in shake reduction. So every lens ever made for Pentax is then stabilized (good for 3-4 stops)
- Complete backwards compatibility, so every lens ever made will work (some may need an adapter)
- Very nice viewfinder
- Body has full weather sealing
- Extremely good price to performance ratio
Those are some off the top of my head.
Obviously there are some real cons, yet there are some real pros.
Tell me how you view that info and I'll get back to you with some more info.
Hope that helps
Bob
