My K-50 died a while back and don't really want to fix it for now, being that I use my trusty Oly E-3 I'm not afraid to use a older camera is the K-7 worth buying so I can use my fine Pentax lenses until I can afford a K-3 in the late spring?
K7 was the first DSLR where Pentax got the body design right IMO. It does not feel as dated as K20D and earlier cameras. There is still a lot to like about K7 today.
If you can get K7 for cheap go for it, and it can be a good introduction of Pentax flagship APS-C until you get K3.
But as others have said the high ISO performance is the "Achilles heel" of the K7, probably not much better than Olympus E3.
