Score 10.0/10+ Superb camera. Excellent feel. Great resolution. Endless possibilities and control over the image.
- If I had to find fault it would have to be that it is heavier than other SLRs. However, one quickly becomes accustomed to the weight and build quality and weight go hand in hand anyway.

A feature rich camera, the onboard software is excellent, image quality is very good, overall a camera that challenges some of the more expensive models at this megapixel range.

- Has a tendancy to underexpose slightly in the "green mode", but this can be overridden.

Expert reviews for Pentax K20D with 18-55mm Lens
TechRadar expert review
On the surface, the Pentax K20D is not unlike the K10D. Under the skin, though, it's very different.The biggest change is the swap to a 14.6-megapixel CMOS sensor. It's clear by now that you don't get a lot more definition with these higher pixel counts, but every little helps and it does mean that fine detail is resolved with a little more subtlety.A sophisticated SLRHigh pixel counts are often associated with higher noise, but this doesn't appear to trouble Pentax because the K20D goes right up to a maximum ISO of 6400.It should be ideal for fans of low-light photography, then, and a…
