I couldn't resist getting a second K-5. I had planned on using my K20D as a second body but couldn't cope with 2 different ergonomics and features on shoots. I sold the K20D to part fund the 2nd K-5

I actually prefer the ergonomics of the K20D, so I am happy to keep that as the second body to whatever I use as the main body.

It's a shame manufacturers think it is necessary to re-do almost everything when they bring out a new model.I actually prefer the ergonomics of the K20D, so I am happy to keep that as the second body to whatever I use as the main body.
I was delighted when the K20D turned out to be an improved K10D, which to all intents and purposes is ergonomically identical. Given that the K10/20D is such a good design, it would have been nice if Pentax could have kept going with the same chassis and controls.

My son Adam has the K20D and it's a big beast compared to the later models. I also think the back screen menu system is much improved since. I sympathise though if things change from what you are used to. Going from KX/KR to the fully specced 9and buttoned) K5 has been a big change for me. Worth it though. I'd love a second one but so many great lenses to find money for first

Basic idea is to keep the Bigma on one body, (swapping it occasionally). Coulndt get used to the two different characteristics of the K7 v the K5.
