I'll just go ahead and agree with Mark. No point retyping everything. Although having required a mirror adjustment on my K10D after 10k shots makes me wonder if a faster mirror wouldn't also be weaker.
The only thing I really miss from the K20D that the K10D doesn't have is the AF adjustment. But if the K7 is an improved K20D in a sweet, tiny, baby mama package, I'm upgrading faster than you can say "suck on this, Canikon!". Not that there's anything wrong with Canikon. --M. 2009/4/23 Mark Roberts <[email protected]>: > Doug Brewer wrote: >> >> My wish list: >> >> 1. 5fps. No, I'm not a machine gunner.
