The middle apertures usually give the best results in terms of absolute quality, providing the lens is a good one. Cheap zooms tend to improve all the way down towards f16 or maybe even f22, but that's a bad sign.
Much of my photography is shot at f8, unless DOF requirements dictate otherwise.

The Pentax 16-45mm is used for 90% of my photography - a superb lens at a very low price.

It's a nice lens but I'd wait for a better example. The cost of professional cleaning could be almost as much as the cost of the lens.

Terry, the K20D is a fantastic camera and the price is good as well. If you can run to taking the 16-45mm lens instead of the kit lens it will be to your advantage in terms of quality. But the pentax kit lens is better than the Canon one, so I'm sure you will be pleased with either choice.

David has done well and hopefully will put back his other comments over the course of the next week. One of the perils of posting one long critique is that it can all be lost if anything goes amiss. I know, I've had it happen.

If you come across a once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunity then quality will be less relevant than getting the shot. The P&S digital cameras are probably more difficult to use than a DSLR, but at least it will be with you.
I have had a camera with me for the last 40 years or so and the number of fantastic opportunities that must not be missed has been: 0. zero, zilch....
But tomorrow...
