Hey Larry, Thanks for your comments.
I am unfamiliar with any "water resistance" features on the K-7, but it has any, it would be a huge plus. I do a lot of work in wet conditions, and while I use a rain hood when I can, accidents DO happen. Indeed, while I was on this recent trip, a VERY well aimed, massive raindrop at the lead of a major thunderstom cracked into the back of my K10. I blew the water out, but didn't dare turn my camera back on until that night. It malfunctioned as my wife's camera did (after she doused it), so I let it dry for about 30 hours before I turned it back on. It's working fine, now, but I warn you all---that multipurpose "four-way controller" button on the back of the camera is pretty susceptible to water damage!!!!!
