I pan with the K7. No problems:

I also pan with the K20D with SR turned on. It doesn't cause any
problems. The sweeping motion of a pan is far outside the range of
motion that SR tries to control.

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...
