From Dubai:

The new K20D will have live view and can preview picture on the viewfinder.The live view is also available on 3 inch LCD. There are two type of AF mode and they said that they have improved their AF performance..The AF uses a new Contrast Method and will not use their exist AF method(by Distance Measuring Mode). No info on whether they even realize that predictive/tracking focus is whats incredibly important to be done right on the K20D. At least as good as the D300 should have been the standard.

In continuous drive mode, this new model can shot 1080p full HD size up to 14-16 shot..while Nikon's D3 can only shot 510p up to 11 shot and unknown "p"(maybe 200p more than K20D) up to 10 shot on Canon's 1D MarkIII. It also can shot 3fps 12bit/14bit RAW file while Nikon's D300 only can shot 2.5fps 14bit RAW file. The GX-20 can record 720p video and maybe the K20D also has that feature..


The sensor will be 14MP CMOS APS-H sensor (approx 30mm X 16mm) will be a lil bit widescreen
Faster AF
Better SR than K10D
4fps
And AF is available in Live View which is better than 40D(can't use AF in Live View)
