Pentax k20d price drop now at $833 body only and $941 with lens

Pentax k20d has a price drop this week from $1000 (body only) couple months ago to $775. with lens, 1150 to 850 (a $225 price drop).

With this new price point, Pentax k20d will compete directly with Canon 40D and Nikon D90. k20D is weather shield camera, able to withstand rain and dust. It is one of the first camera that introduce 14 megapixel for semi-pro class.

Beside famous on the weather shield body, k20d along with other Pentax DSLR is famous for shake reduction capability. This shake reduction help to combat hand shake, so photographer can have advantage of 2-3 stops on any lens that it mounts.

Pentax k20d produces very good image quality, has many features that might be helfpul for professional use, but its auto focus speed in dim light and continuous burst speed are considered pretty slow (3 fps) relative to other cameras at the same price point.

There is no sign that Pentax will launch any new camera soon, especially full frame camera which is speculated earlier this year.
