This review is from: Pentax K20D 14.6MP Digital SLR Camera with Shake Reduction and 16-45mm f/4.0 ED AL Zoom Lens (Electronics)

As a long term user of Minolta 35mm SLR's when I decided to move up to digital I first checked out the Sony product line.
After reading numerous reviews and handling a couple of Sony DSLR's I wasn't impressed with the build quality or quality of available lenses. So, I settled on a Pentax K20D as my digital tool. Having used my K20D complete with a 16-45 F4.0 Pentax lens for a month now I'm completely sold. The build quality is solid, the body feels heavy and fits well in my hand.
Image quality is superb with amazing detail recorded. The 16-45 F4.0 zoom is light, but well made. The lens is also extremely sharp especially when stopped down to F11 or F16. The menu's are easy to navigate and very intuitive.
I'll add an updated review after shooting more situations and in all weather conditions. If you're in the market for a pro spec DSLR priced less than comparable Nikon or Canon products you wont regret purchasing this Pentax.
