Now you're getting silly. I seriously expect any mid-life kicker for the K-7 (let's call it the K-7x, although I think K-7n is a rather more likely name) would have the features that you list, with at least the pixel count, frame rate, etc. of the K-7. It appears that several K20 owners on the list are holding on for a while to see if such a camera shows up; if it does, they'll probably buy one. -- 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.
