We're you looking at his LCD or his finished product? As you know viewing at small size on an LCD hides myriads of flaws. My experience with the K20D was that I had frequent exposure problems. The K-7 fixed that. It got noisy far too fast at medium-high ISO and relative short exposure times. The K-5 fixed that. The K-5II supposedly improves on auto-focus. I'd say the K-5/ K-5II is what the K20D should have been. Certainly it's more about the photographer than the camera. But not one of us is going to forego his DSLR or digital ILC and start consistently shooting with a K1000.
