The K-5 or K-5ii — among the best sensors to this day. Great dynamic range and low noise in a relatively small body.

And what a body. A Pentax classic. In form and function.

The K-7 was the first of that kind body but the sensor is so much better in the latter models  . I can’t recommend it for the small cost difference.   The K20D is a perfectly fine camera but the K-5s are much more modern and capable in all ways. Considering what they go for used the K-5, K-5II or K-5IIs are great used cameras. I’m sure others have their favs
