Digital camera reviews of Pentax K20D 14.6MP Digital SLR Camera with Shake Reduction (Body Only)

Digital camera Review: A real gem! Just buy it!
Summary: 5 Stars

You will not find a better camera in terms of image quality unless you're willing to spend $7000+ for a Canon Mark III or a medium format outfit. Just don't tell the guy who just wasted thousands on a ripoff like the D3 ;-).

This is THE perfect camera for portraiture, studio still and landscapes on a budget. Make sure you get top (prime) lenses (forget the 18-250). Don't even think about it if you're into sports and high speed action (get the D300). And don't get me started if you're one of those "experts" who needs a "noise free" shot at ISO 3000-25000 (who needs that, really!)
