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

As a K20D owner who really loves the camera and has no problem with its size and weight, I would strongly recommend the K7 for most users.

Pentax implemented a much-improved metering and AF system with the K7 that makes it a better unit for the challenges of changing light or movement. I still use an old Canon 20D for telephoto action photography because it tracks motion far better than the K20D (and the Canon LII 200 f/2.8 is an amazing lens that is hard to match).

My understanding is that the K7 also handles preflash TTL quicker with far fewer droopy eye problems. (I don't even bother with TTL on the K20D - and rarely miss it.)
