This is faked from a K-M pic. Also there was a shot of the opened BIF and it had 4 leds top of the flash. Probably for the video, but if it's going to use it and not the flash... then I am happy. -- Thibault Massart aka Thibouille -- Photo: K10D,Z1,SuperA,KX,MX, P30t

I'm neither going to deny nor dream about those specs, however is does seem likely that the new K7 body is going to be **small**. Although I would prefer that they get rid of 90% of the right hand grip (which they haven't), a K20D in the body of a K2000 would pique my interest to very high levels.
