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. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
