Personally, I need a decent viewfinder, decent AF on the centre point, good high ISO quality, good metering and compact size. The K-x has the first 3 (I'm amazed at the high ISO quality, it's closer to D700 than D300) but is still lacking on metering.
If Pentax did nothing but put the K-x's sensor and processing chain into a K-7 and increase the buffer to K-7 levels, I'd have exactly the camera I want. The K-7 is essentially there aside from high ISO performance. -Adam Who'se overjoyed with the K-x's high ISO and processing ISO 6400 shots with NR off. On Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 9:06 PM, P. J.
