For my part it's matrix metering. My experience is that the metering is less sensitive to small, bright light sources, like specular reflexes, streetlights, etc. I also find that the metering is more consistent across pictures of the same scene with minor variations in composition, for example, than was the case for K10/20. In my opinion this is no less than one can expect from raising the number of metering sites from 11 to 77. :-) It gives a lot more room for weighting of the metering loci. I'm also very satisfied with the flash metering of the K-7, but I can't compare this to the performance of K10/20 because I apparently had a slightly malfunctioning flash at the time. All I can say is that I like it the way it happens in the K-7.
