I'm generally very happy with the camera. Feels solid, the weather sealing adds confidence. Very pleasing auto WB. Quiet shutter helps taking candid shots. AF is much better than on any Pentax I have tried before, but still not 100% accurate - this seems to be very much lens dependent.
If I could change something, I would trade 2Mpixels of resolution for less high ISO noise. In some situations shake reduction compensates for that.

Problems:

To my liking, the K-7 is a bit too keen on selecting high ISO, where the noise levels are unpredictable (from surprisingly good to absolutely shocking).
My sensor has a couple of hot pixels, which fortunately can be mapped out in camera.
