It would be interesting to see some real life comparisons showing how the metering responds between the Kx and K7, I've not a fan of the K10/20 though I still have a 20. The K20 is a behemoth compared to the *ist D or Kx even without the grip. I bought the Kx so that I could retire my *ist D as my general duty (i'll take it because it's not too big) available light cam and so far it's doing the job well, it so nice having a screen that's bigger than a postage stamp, LV, video and much faster save times. -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours Gmail, eBay, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa: distudio -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
