The Df was revealed 5 years after the K20D which is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before getting right into a more detailed comparison, here is a quick view of how the Df scores versus the K20D in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Nikon Df and Pentax K20D. The full galleries are provided at Nikon Df Gallery and Pentax K20D Gallery.

When you are aiming to carry around your camera regularly, you're going to have to factor its weight and dimensions.

Normally, it can be tough to visualize the gap between sensor sizes merely by reviewing technical specs. The image below might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the Df and K20D.

As you have seen, each of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Df with its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Nikon Df will offer extra detail because of its extra 1MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The younger Df should have an advantage in sensor tech.
