Dave, I shot with the K7. Because of the canopy on the truck, I had to do some 'fill flash' in lightroom for the shady bits. Too much fill and the shade gets grainy. I didn't bring the K20 and grip, although that would have been useful. I can better hand hold the zoom with a grip. I'll probably get one for the K7. I posted the Picasa album for my family and especially my daughter-in-law. She's a special education teacher and some of her kids have never seen these animals. She's the woman with the lighter colored hair. You probably recognize my wife with the gray hair and my 2 boys and daughter have the dark hair. Regards, Bob S.
