Hello to you all, have just joined this site after being a Pentax user since the late 70's.


As you can see from my comments I am fully digital these days and love the K10D's that I have. Have previously thought about switching to another brand but I just can't give up the feel and innovation of Pentax.

Does anybody have experience of the K10D and also the K20D, apart from the extra 4MG pixels is the K20D much better or is it just the pixel count.

Thanks for your time

Welcome.

The K20D's image quality, dynamic range, and noise handling are significant improvements over the K10D.

Welcome comstadcity.

As Peter has stated, the IQ etc. of the K20D is better than the K10D, although my main reason for buying the K20D was to have the second body, thereby avoiding lens swapping at certain events.

Welcome to the fora. I think Peter answered your question. If you are going to upgrade do it soon while the cashback is on offer.

Best wishes, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
