K20D vs. K7 in High-ISO RAW Noise

Trust me, It's a Slam Dunk.

I have the K-10D, K-7, & K-5. I often use my K-7 when I'm doing a lot of shooting between telephoto and standard lenses. I don't even bother with my K-10D. The metering system in the K-10D & K-20D are just not good nearly as good as the 77-segment systems in the K-7 & K-5's. My K-10D is a dust magenet for all I'm concerned. The new bodys are better(.) It's the reason I skipped the K-20D and waited for the K-7. I do have the Grip for the K-7 & K-5--freak'n awesome:

Here's my K-5 with the D-BG4 Grip and my Tamron 70-200 2.8.

Don't let these other guys fool you with there unique needs. I'm a practical guy and I don't need to get the image looking perfect in the LCD, just the exposure. Shot in RAW, spend less time in the field, and more time on a larger LCD, like a monitor!, where you can really get the color/WB right. Be sure to check my galleries, I got my colors right and I do it on the computer.
