The K20D's IQ is very good in my view, at least I am sure I have a long way to go before I can reach its limits, and a lot of learning to do. When taking pictures outdoors, and there is plenty of light, it is a fantastic camera (unless the subject is moving fast...:roll.
But when I am using it indoors, for the occasional family shot, or otherwise in low light, let's just say there is quite some room for improvement. I am sure that those of view with better photographic skills than me are able to make the most of it in most circumstances, but that is not the case for me.
I have had several times the opportunity to test a competitor's camera (no need to mention the name, let's just say it starts with a 7) indoors along side mine. 100% of shots are metered correctly and in focus, I do not get the same with mine...
So, after reading all the good things about the K5, especially improved AF speed and metering accuracy in low light, that is where I am heading.
I might not get better IQ, but hopefully better results overall.

I can't believe how much better it is over my K20D, words cannot describe......
For image quality, this (K5) is the first digital camera that I think makes the pictures truly 'sing' from the screen.
I prefer images from the K20D to my K-x though everywhere people say the later sensor is better. I don't buy it. Likewise while I would love to have a K-5 (if anyone has an extra they don't mind donating) I do not feel restricted by the K20D.
This manic frenzy to upgrade camera bodies every 12 months is more a product of marketing than photographic "need".

It is better than most peoples ability to use it to the best of its strengths...
But is it even more so than the 1.7?
