I got a chance, along with about 25 other people, to play with the K-7
last night.
They had about 4 bodies floating around the table, and just about every
DA lens that Pentax currently makes was there to play with.
One of the bodies had the vertical grip on it.
Impressions (as a K10D users): Small, fast, light, quiet. Exposure and
autofocus are much improved. I put the 540 on top and shot across the
table with a mirror in the background - the K7 photo exposed the room
correctly and blew out the flash which was visible in the mirror. The
K10D right after that exposed for the "highlight" (the flash) and
everything else was dark. You can probably guess which I'd prefer.
After about an hour and 15 minutes of slideshows and demonstrations
(during which I was grabbing various bits and testing things.. everyone
else sat there and watched the screen at the front of the room), they
held a drawing and one lucky person left with a new K7 in his hands.
Bummer it wasn't me! My odds were 1-in-25 which wasn't too bad. I was
bummed.
I foresee a new camera in my future. It was very nice. Too bad I'll
have to do it mail-order. No stores in Minneapolis carry the K7. :-(

Very jealous of Pentax Imaging. I think the chances of CR Kennedy running
the same roadshow are vanishingly small
