I've been using this camera now since August. At first, I wasn't sure
whether it was a good choice to sell my K20D to buy the K-7. But since
then, I have to say that the K-7 is a worthy update, if only for the video
mode. There are as well the improved seals and faster AF and so on. But
basically, it is – as with all Pentax cameras, ergonomics that make the
difference. The K-7 is smaller than the K20D and is just nice to handle.
The battery grip gives it an extra, especially for larger hands.
One of the few things I regret is the fact that the Shake reduction button
has been axed and the command put into the Menu.
