I'll confirm that, I do not use flash much, but K10D was excessively sensible to reflective surfaces when using the flash. The K-7 is not so. I tried a shot (integrated flash) straight into a mirror, the shot could be more or less usable. Same with K10D would have been overexposed by a couple tens EV ;)
