All things considered, the Pentax K10D is an excellent midrange digital SLR. It offers a solid, well-designed body, rocket-fast performance, and superb photo quality if you get away from the default settings. It may not be a great choice for those used to live-view and scene modes, but if you’re ready to dive into more serious photography, the K10D is a great choice. It earns my highest recommendation.

Put simply, this is a competitive sector of the market, and the A20 - despite ticking all the right boxes on paper - simply doesn’t have what it takes to compete. For the typical user of a compact like this image quality (where the A20 does pretty well) is not the only measure of a camera, and it’s in these other areas the A20 fails to impress. There is enough here to lift the A20’s rating above the A10, but not enough to allow an unconditional recommendation.
