Don't forget the better AF, the faster frame rate, etc., etc.

But the primary market for the K-7 isn't folks upgrading from the K20.
It's aimed at three types of buyer:

  o K10D owners who passed on the K20 because it wasn't a big upgrade.
    (that probably includes quite a large number of folks, like me,
    who started on digital with a *ist-D, and moved on to a K10D).

  o Owners of a lower-spec Pentax digital (DS, K100, ...) who want to
    move up to something "better" (on whatever scale they nominate).

  o First-time Pentax DSLR buyers.
