Yes, they are pretty much the same camera. I didn't have the problem except when I made mistakes in shooting. We had the opportunity of shooting a falcon and I tried out the spot metering while it was perched on its owner's hand. Suddenly it flew off and I kept shooting but didn't take it out of spot metering which gave a nasty under exposure. Bear in mind it can be a personal preference too. I usually keep my personal camera on a 1/3 stop under as I think it gives better colours, but that's me.

Thanks very much. I'm always looking to improve and welcome any feedback. It's always nice to read positive comments though. =:O)

I like the actual style (as D3x review) more :)

less breathing into mic, video quality etc..

btw next time pls try shooting some pretty girls instead of an old church :D

This review was an early one. I've got better since then (I like to think) but I'm no Jeremy Clarkson.

Funny how you shot the 'little door' landscape in the video, but it came out portrait! I assume you cropped it...

K10D/K200D/K-m 10Mpix CCD sensor from sony (same as Nikon D80, D40x, D60, Sony Alpha 100,200,300) Differences are in image processors in cameras. Pentax is capable of raw files packed with detail.

K-m sensor is latest generation of the same sensor, improved circuits, able to shot real Iso3200

K20D has 15,1/14,6Mpix CMOS from samsung, it has the best resolution in raw in APS-C range, even canon 50D cannot match it with its slightly higher pixel count... tested on dpreview, trusted reviews etc..

I really like your review and really want to get this camera. Its funny I was haveing a hard time decideing between the samssung gx20 and the pentax k20d, just to find that there almost identical lol. Im going with pantax cause of there name. I am a biggner to dslr's and want to pursue a carrier in photography. I heard that this camera has about a 48% chance of underexposeing pictures! Have you had this problem and was it easy to correct with the ev compinsation thing. Thank u:)
