I think a preference for a particular camera and user-interface judgments
are somewhat a product of what one becomes accustomed to. When I was
using the K10D exclusively, everything was automatic. I barely had to
think. When I went back to it after using the K20D for a few months, I
was confused and annoyed, even though it was quite similar. Just
yesterday, after only about two weeks and some 900 frames with the K7D I
switched back to the K20D to shoot a panorama. I had to pause and think
about how to choose manual white balance. Any tool that is used every day
becomes an extension of the hand and mind.
This really points to a mistake that Pentax made with the K-7. While the
K10/K20 may not have perfect interfaces, the control layout is quite
logical.
This is not to say that the K-7 interface isn't logical, or an
improvement.
By changing the position of some of the oft used buttons and removing the
Fn button, they have made it very difficult to switch between the two
cameras.
Probably not an issue for a lot of users in that they most likely only have
one body - not like alot of us here.
