Re: K20D vs. K7 in High-ISO RAW Noise

I have both cameras, as mentioned IQ is indistinguishable. Personally I like the ergonomics of the k7 much more. Though it took a while to figure out the best button customizations, specifically the af point selections. I like the metal of the k7 better than the plastic of the k20, but I miss the locking accessory doors of the k20. I've had both cameras do long timelapses in direct rain with no leaks. My k7 spent 3 days on a tripod in constant rain with no cover and had no issues. With my k20 I fell off a boat and swam to shore with it my hand, no issues. I don't care about video, but I still think the K7 is a significant improvement, its more responsive, the AF is faster, the burst rate is faster, and I feel more comfortable with the button layout. Either camera would be a good purchase, I would buy from a place with a good return policy and keep the camera that feels better in your hands. Or maybe choose whatever's cheapest because the real investment is glass.
