I checked B&H and saw one for $19.95--inflation, hey?! :-) Thanks Tim.
I'll try one. Cheers, Christine

I've used a Tamrac strap for nearly two years. No complaints so far.
It has two nice pockets for extra cards, and it's easy to take off.
IMO thats very handy when mouting the camera at a tripod, gets the
strap out of the way.
Bought it for about 15$ at B&H. But there might be better straps out
there.

Have you tried a good neoprene strap? It does not make the camera
lighter, but it sure makes it feel lighter.

Well, some lighter would help ;-). Seriously though, when I did the
camera-store-try on the K7, it felt good to hold and had a nice feel. I
do
understand the point about weight/steadier grip/with longer lenses--and
agree, but lately the kit feels so heavy--course so does by body. Maybe
I'm
just so out of shape, and I'm probably not shooting enough--actually, I
just checked Lightroom; I shot 5887 frames so far for 2009. I suppose
by
PDML standards that's pretty wimpy, but certainly not out of character
for
the wimp I am :-). Cheers, Christine

I don't know what the exact numbers are, but the K7 isn't a lot
lighter
than the K20. Somewhat smaller, but it's packed and well built, so
it's
rather hefty. I prefer a heavier camera. It makes for a steadier grip
and
balances substantial lenses better. The DA* 60-250 and the K7 with
battery
pack are a perfect match.

weight--my
own--and camera gear weight; these days I'm traveling really light,
and
it's still heavy. I guess I'm a wimp. A few nights ago I dreamt of my

MX, and I moved around free and easy in that dream. :-) Cheers,

I thought the same w/ my K200D. Then I had to touch a K7 & listen to
it's shutter sound. What to do with a K200D + grip? :\

Well, it's summer doldrums down here but I get your point....
I think that DSLR development has reached the point where
incremental
gains in performance are relatively small, so upgrading becomes a
matter
of trying to justify the expense when the current camera is 'good
enough'.
I my case, the K200D does pretty much everything I want, so I
probably
wont upgrade until a camera comes along with similar features but
with
a
better high ISO performance and a sensor with a few more MP of
resolution. (Oh, wait. Isn't that the K-x?....)
