But, even though it can't quite boast the same novel-feature-count as its predecessor, ... ...change is the addition of a live-view mode that provides a zoomable, live preview directly from the imaging sensor.
Pentax has also tweaked the default settings of the camera's JPEG output (our biggest gripe about the K10D), so does the K20D offer enough to play with the big boys? ...
