- Live view LCD blacks out when focusing - Grainy optical viewfinder - Lengthy, verbose menus - Confusing placement of features

The 14.6-megapixel Pentax K20D has a lot going for it. It has a water-resistant camera body that is durable and tightly sealed and is backwards compatible with Pentax lenses.
