Hi Pentaxians,
Just to share my thoughts after having used K5 and K20D concurrently for almost 2 months.
The ironic truth is I still love using K20D more than K5 for the following reasons:
1) AF is much more accurate
2) Buttons and controls are more intuitive and "at the right position". One good example is the AF button. Yes I use that button quite often.
3) Comparing the built quality of K20D and K5, K20D gave me the impression of better built.
4) P-TTL doesn't seem to have improve
5) dedicated SR on/off button on K20D
6) K5 makes a weird "zhee" sound when switched on, mounted with a DA35 F2.4 lens.
7) sentimental value. My old K20D been through holidays, birth of my daughter, freelance events but didn't disappoint me like the K5.
Yes I am very particular about these small details, so if the K20D can serve me for more than 2 years and am still happy with it, it sure nailed the right spot.
Due to no interest from any fellow to buy my old K20D, I get to unofficially keep it and use it despite my wife questioning why I need 2 camera bodies. Haha... So unable to sell K20D was a lucky misfortune.
Regards,
Aaron
