I would but they all seem to be far more expensive than the Brand new Samsung I've been kept

Well I've been swithering today after playing with a K7, was very impressed was half thinking about getting it over the GX20 but part of me thinks I'd be better with the GX20, the saving in body I could spend on lenses.

Question actually, how small is the viewfinder on the K20/GX20?

It's about the same size as the K-7's, but shows 95% of the frame instead of 100%.

Well, if I may hadd my 2-penneth. I started off with the K20. and my mates who have Nikons and Canons cant believe what a great camera it is. I think because when they pic it up it feels solid. It doesnt feel plasticky and flimsy. I would very highly recommend the K20 to anyone. a great choice of lenses as well as the older Pentax lenses. I have wide angle and a 'superzoom', and they both give me the coverage I need.
I think you also get a lot more for your money too. and this forum is fantastic too. Great people, great advice.

If i was starting from nothing now i would go for the K7 - if i went for the K20 now i would always be wandering about the K7 - then get the lenses as you go along - after about 2 years when you are used to the k7 you can get the next body pentax comes out with - Just my opinion and i am saving for a K7 or something

Even when offered a brand new GX20 complete with 16-45 for £550?

Definatly because you could get the K7 with both waterproof lenses for only £450 more
I am playing devils advocate really but you do have to ask yourself the question about wether you will be pining to get the K7

well I see your point £500 is a lot of money - it might be best to play with the gx20 for a couple of years instead
