IMHO Stefan's standpoint is a "purist" view and, technically, no doubt he has a point.
However, the current standard of JPEG capture is so high that from a practical point of view the images are indistiguishable from an image shot in RAW. This holds true with as much post processing as is usually needed. If it broke down at some point I would wonder why I was having to modify a file quite that much.

There's no harm in incresing the capture sharpening from 25% to whatever suits you. It is a different sensor so it won't look exactly the same as the previous K20D.
What is the actual final output for your images, print or web?

Should be about the same, but that assumes that your ME Super shutter speeds are still accurate. Also, as the response curves are different for digital and film you might not get exactly the same density.
I would do some calibration shots before you go to see what you need to adjust to get the result you are looking for.

Some compacts make macro photography a breeze, so I wouldn't discount them at all. Have a look at what CarolG on ePHOTOzine achieves. Would she be better with a DSLR - I doubt it.
However, with a DSLR it will have strengths of its own and the dedicated macro lens is definitely the way to go.

Yes, but the *ist will control the aperture from the camera body. It's actually a relatiovely sophisticated feature set, although it wasn't on the market for long.

I think this is down to the MZ6, MZ7 and *ist film bodies.

Don't even trust ebay!
You might not trust all buyers and sellers, but that's a different issue.
