I sold my K20D today and will get the K-5 this week. The reason is that I found that K-5 has improvements in the areas I wanted, such as size, frame rate, noise, AF etc. I suspect that most improvements from now will be in areas that I´m not interested in, such as video, 3D, HDR, picture modes etc. Just look at the negative comments to K-5 on dpreview, most of them have nothing to do with using RAW format and taking pictures.
So I found that K-5 is good enough, so I could get it and enjoy it, and wait a couple of generations before updating again. I believe (hope) that camera technology has matured now, at least when it comes to taking pictures. There was a thread about a DA*24 that was deleted last week from dpreview. If true I think that would be a better way to spend money in the future...
