There's a Swedish company named Cyberphoto, that sells and makes short tests of digital cameras online. They have tested the Pentax K20D and taken some sample pictures with it at this address:

Sorry, it's in Swedish. But I think you can understand the sample pictures, though... :) Click on "Testbilder" to see the sample pictures taken by the camera. Click on the thumbnails to view the full size versions. The pictures at the bottom are taken indoor with halogen lamps, 2 x 300 watts, at different ISO settings. They are taken in AWB, which gives a yellow color cast (right word?), as you can see. They think that setting the white balance manually (using a white or grey card) would solve the problem. Maybe Pentax also can fix it through a firmware update later?
Other that that, it seems like a very good camera. They gave it their highest rating - "Toppklass".
