Pentax seems to have a slam dunk here. Image quality is indisputably the equal of many 24 x 36 cameras (all DSLRs have a "full frame"), and based on statistical evidence it surpasses a number of them. Based on my own observations after a couple hundred frames, the camera is amazingly capable.
The jury is still out on other things. Autofocus is definitely much improved. Hard to see for sure how good it is. But it's better than the K7, which was better than the K20. Exposure accuracy seems to be at least as good as the K7, which is excellent in that regard. And one more thing: the shutter is even quieter than that of the K-7. And that's very quiet indeed. I am very pleased, and the Pentax decision to focus on APS-C sized sensors and medium format appears to have been a very good one.
