Verdict
Pick the K-7 if you need faster continuous shooting (5.2 fps vs 3 fps) and Full HD video at 25 fps—its €5 premium is justified by these features. The K20D stays the better choice if you prioritize absolute budget savings and can forgo video or higher burst speeds, as all other core specs are identical.
