Pentax K20D Review – Offers a Well-Placed Controls
If you are looking for a DSLR camera that offers you a lot of possibilities, then dropping by our own Pentax K20D review is a good choice for you. Here, we want to give you some insights pertaining to this semi-professional DSLR camera. Well, this is the successor of the K10D with a list of features at a very attractive price that are something to be proud of. It is not much of a surprise to see that the Pentax K20D DSLR camera boasts a lot of improvements, thanks to its best selling predecessor.
It is no doubt that the 14.6 megapixel CMOS sensor is one of the best features of the Pentax K20D DSLR camera. Speaking of great features, this is something we want to emphasize in our own Pentax K20D review. This camera also feature its large 2.7 inches LCD screen display which is made up of 230K dots resolution and allows the user to adjust the colour, a Live View mode, burst mode that allows 21fps shooting at 16 megapixel resolution, X-sync flash, socket, dynamic range expansion mode, improved image parameter settings, compare mode in playback, adjustable levels of high ISO reduction, 32x zoom in playback, sensitivities up to ISO 3200 which is also extendable to 6400 instead of ISO 1600, pixel napping to determine and correct for dead pixels, dust alert that locates particles on the sensor, as well as the AF fine-tuning.
Speaking of the 2.7 inches LCD screen of the K20D, the monitor itself is a wide view type with a viewing angle higher than 140° both horizontally and vertically. The images can be magnified up to 12x magnification and you can show the images easily to many people using its monitor.
Of course, the design and the build quality of the Pentax K20D DSLR camera is also detailed in our own Pentax K20D review. This DSLR camera is a little bit chubby and a very traditional looking one that is almost the same to its predecessor. Since it boasts a semi-professional body, it is larger and heavier than those new DSLR cameras. As a matter of fact, this camera is one of the heaviest cameras in its class. Well, this camera uses a similar polycarbonate body cover over a metal alloy frame with stainless steel lens mount and durable weather and dust seals as what you can see in its predecessor.
In addition to the previous Pentax K20D review, the built in handgrip and cover of the Pentax K20D DSLR camera which is like a rubber offer a very secure hold and a firm balance point, making it perfect for right handed shooters. In terms of ergonomics and interface, the controls of this camera are well-placed, logical, and is sensitive enough just like the all the Pentax K DSLR cameras. The FN button that gives a direct access to Flash, Sensitivity, White Balance, and Drive Mode settings, the dedicated RAW button, Exposure Compensation button, as well as the twin control dials are well-placed and are very accessible.
