The 14.6 megapixel Pentax Optio K20D continues their line of professional-level digital SLR cameras, building on the K10D. Because most professional photographers don't use them, the K20D doesn't include any scene modes, but does offer extensive control over all aspects of image settings, including how the processor "develops" images. RAW mode is accessible via a button so users don't have to navigate menus to shift between RAW andJPG capture, and the camera is capable of converting RAW images for times when you need to access them but do not have RAW conversion software. Reviews describe the image quality as "excellent" and noise reduction as being very good on ISO settings as high as 3200.
