It's funny, I hadn't had a camera with SR until I got the K20D, so I
didn't notice the removal of the SR switch in the Pictures of the K-7.
The SR switch is a shooting control. Maybe not as important as manual
control of the focus point, but until Pentax comes up with an SR system
that's smart enough to know when the photographer is panning, turning it
off at a moments notice will be a necessity .
Removing the switch and making it a small production to turn SR on and off
shows what I think is a "Point and Shoot" design mentality the same thing
that resulted in the focus control debacle, This type of mentality doesn't
belong in the design of a relatively high end camera, hell, it doesn't
belong in the design of Point an Shoot camera.
Unlike the focus point issue it looks like it's not an easy a fix, what
with the hardware switch being gone and all...
In shooting mode, push the INFO button and you have several controls
available there, including SR on/off. Not as direct as a hardware switch,
but not far from it. Much better than navigating the ever-increasing menus.
