OK, so the ISO looks good. What's the focussing like? Is it good in low light? How does the quick versus accurate work?

We need information!

How big are the JPG at the **** settings?

They probably used *** because that's the optimum settings, small files without any real visible lost in quality.
If you only shoot jpg and don't edit them, that setting would be the best if you edit the jpg though **** might be better.

Sounds about right. JPG and DNG off the K20D are about 32MB
Half Man... Half Pentax ... Half Cucumber

Pentax K-1 + K-5 and some other stuff

Yeah the DNG on the K20D aren't compressed

Most likely you can shoot more DNG continues than PEF because of that

I haven't tried a PEF photo yet - don't want to load the Pentax software to deal with it, so I'm waiting until Adobe do something. Though Irfanview can probably read it.
