No K20 pics. Like I said, it was just an informal look, not a
controlled test. I might try that at some time,

Paul, did you actually shoot the same scenes with the K20 for
comparison?
Not suggesting that your well honed "judgment" isn't a valid basis
for your opinion.

I pulled my battery off the charger
and took a few test shots with the DA* 16-45 in extremely
low light. I posted two on photo.net. In this folder you'll
see a near full frame of each and a100% crop. The ISO was
set to 3200 and high ISO noise reduction is set to medium.
I'd guess each was about a quarter stop underexposed, so
slightly better performance is probably possible. I'd judge
these as slightly better than the K20D but definitely not in
the same league as the Nikon D700. Of course, this isn't a
conclusive test, just a first look.
Low light focus was very good with the focus assist light.I
love the quiet shutter on this camera and the hi-res monitor
display. That will be a big plus at wedding receptions
and the like. The camera doesn't fit my hand right without
the battery grip, because with a wrist strap my thumb ends
up too high on the back of the camera. But I think it will
be fine with the grip. It feels like a little tank. Well
built.
The folder of four shots is here:

Exposure info is included in each pics title. The bar shot
was at 50mm, the house pic at 18mm.
