The Pentax K20D is a fantastic piece of apparatus for any budding photographer. The quality of the images is absolutely second-to-none, with a large range of settings and features which you can apply to your photos. It has a portrait mode, landscape mode, and a motion-mode, which mean that it is a great camera for a variety of different surroundings. The motion mode is particularly useful as you can take great quality pictures even if the objects in the photo are moving at a high speed. I also find that the camera is great for face recognition and auto-focus, which also enhance the quality of the pictures it takes. It's a very good camera for both first-time users and professional photographers; whilst its compactability is great for the average person, its range of features are great for people who take photos in a professional environment. I would definitely recommend the Pentax K20D to anybody who is looking for a new, high quality camera. Whilst it's not the cheapest camera on the market, it's definitely worth the extra cost if you're looking for high-quality, lasting memories.
