The Pentax K20 is the subject of a new review posted over at CNET.
Here's what they thought of the $1300 14 megapixel digital SLR camera:
"Overall, the K20D is a very good camera for the price. Pentax users looking to step up should feel comfortable doing so. If you're brand agnostic and looking for a solid midrange SLR, the K20D is a safe bet. It has an extra stop of sensitivity compared with the Canon EOS 40D, which tops out at ISO 3,200 compared with the K20D's ISO 6,400. Plus, if you think you'll use the Pentax's wireless flash control, you should note that Canon forces you to buy a separate controller, or its priciest flash unit, if you want that. Nikon's D80 has come down in price recently and offers a tempting alternative, though it has 10MP compared with the K20D's 14MP, and neither that Nikon nor Canon has the K20D's weather sealing. "
