Nice Improvement Over the K10D Deserves More Credit If Pentax were a bit more serious about increasing the sales of their cameras to first-time Pentax buyers, they’d be making some changes to their marketing strategy. It’s unfortunate that with most consumer/professional camera reviews, the Pentax products get dinged in relation to their competitors when they shouldn’t have to be. You can see this in the Consumer Reports review of DSLRs and other reviews such as PopPhoto. The problem is that these reviews are performed with tested cameras at their default settings, and Pentax chooses to “compromise” the performance of their cameras by requiring custom adjustments to bring about the true potential of the product. The K10D took a hit with its lower-contrast, soft and dark pictures when in default mode. Change the settings and you have a camera every bit in step with its competition at the time. Now the K20D suffers the same fate with the decision to make Noise Reduction-OFF the default setting. The PopPhoto test of the K20D…
A hands on review of Pentax’s new flagship digital SLR I have been a Pentax owner since the 1950’s when the first Heiland Pentax SLR was introduced to the market. This is my 3rd Pentax digital SLR, the first two being the 6 megapixel 1stDS and the 10 megapixel K10D. This new model is a significant upgrade from the K10D, and at 14.6 megapixels, provides significantly more resolution in the crops I make from the original images. What this allows is for me to go to smaller crops (increased area enlargement) and still maintain excellent resolution. Another significant feature is the new imaging device from Samsung, producing, for me, low noise excellent quality photos at sensitivities as high as 1600 ISO.To me, one of the most significant features of this camera, also found on my earlier K10D, is the RAW button on the left side of the camera body. This enables me to shoot most of my photos in JPEG, but allows me to go to RAW for a single image that I really want to get the most out of. This feature really conserves memory card space,…
First impression: I love it! I’ve only shot about 1700 images so far, so I haven’t fully explored all the new features on this camera. This is my first impression and I’ll update this review as I become more familiar with it.I’ve used the K10D since it came out, and the K20D is a strong addition to the line. The new sensor is amazing. Live View is very handy when you’re reaching to get the camera into an awkward position. I haven’t needed the Dust Alert feature yet, but since I shoot in less than clean conditions, I’m guessing it will come in handy.One of the features of the K10D that they’ve kept, and the primary reason I switched to Pentax in the first place, is the construction of the body with 72 seals to keep water and dust out. I’ve used the K10D in the pouring rain, in sea spray, and in smoky or dusty, windy conditions, and never had a problem. I’ve started to expose the K20D to the same conditions, and I expect the same performance.The Shake Reduction is also…
