Pentax K20D

The Pentax K20D is a new digital SLR that follows the K10D with several dramatic changes. As Pentax’s flagship DSLR, the K20D has a 14.6-megapixel CMOS sensor with a few more megapixels than its predecessor. The new model also has a live view on its larger LCD screen, increased dynamic range, an improved dust reduction system, and a battery that lasts much longer. Like its predecessor, the K20D has a lens mount that accepts old and new Pentax lenses. The Pentax K20D will retail for $1,299 for the body only when it goes on sale in April.

 

We checked out the Pentax K20D on the show floor at PMA in January 2008. This is a pre-production model, so not everything was working perfectly, but we’ve got a good idea of how this interesting new SLR handles, and how it might perform.
