This is an upgrade from the k20d for me and so far (I've only had it for a day) it seems any failings from Pentax have been addressed. White balance is bang on, and it is very fast for both focus and processing. Shake reduction seems better as well. New Pentax prime and the Sumsung sensor, which was already one of the best in this price area is improved.
I've owned both Canon and Pentax and at this stage at this price point I'd have to put Pentax ahead slightly.
