My impressions with K20D and K5 are the same as Larry's. I still use both. I do not hesitate to shoot at and above ISO800 with the K5 when necesssary. (I use ISO 200 whenever I can, with either of them). With K20D I do not shoot anything critical (noise-wise). I still like them both, however ;)

My view is not that a higher MP image makes an image better. It's that it has the potential to make it more versatile, and possibly better based on the end use of the image. My thoughts exactly, although for most amateur photogs, with a printed image being the ultimate use of all those pixels
