Just kind of throwing that out there. ;)
If you do, then you will have almost followed in my footsteps of
Pentax DSLRs, the only one that you'd be missing would be the K-5.
It certainly seems like a natural progression. I really do think the K20
is the perfect next step up for me -- just a wonderful camera that may
lack the performance of my K-x in terms of low-light performance, but I
hardly ever push the K-x in that regard anyway. And, if I ever need that
kind of performance, I'll have the K-x.
What the K20 would provide for me, I think, is access to features that
I'm going to need to know how to use if I'm ever going to be a
photographer in any serious sense of the word. I'm fascinated by what
I've read about the ergonomics of it, as well as certain specific
features like the focus-point selection mentioned earlier.
It just sounds to me like a wonderful camera, almost perfectly suited
for someone at my stage of learning the art, at a price that I would be
*insane* not to do everything within my power to meet. It just feels
like exactly what I need at this stage in my development, and something
that will serve me well for a good while.
