Stop that, you stop that right now. I've been resisting even looking
at a K-7 and I don't want to hear this. My K20 is just over a year old
and I'm not buying another camera for at least a year. La la la la la
la la la....

Shooting with this camera, for me, is quite different than the K20.
My rhythm is off--I'm behind, and the K7 is ahead of me. I've been
working on keeping up. :-) One factor involved here is the K7's
sounds are different--lens focusing and shutter etc--I can barely hear
anything, which is good, but it's thrown me off a bit. Funny how you
get used to the sounds of a camera. That horizon level is amazing. I
certainly do A LOT less crop adjustments. I didn't use the creative
filter options on the K20, but I'm having fun with the K7's
filters--pretty fun, in my view. Love the fish-eye, watercolor, and
toy camera filters: http://www.caguila.com/caguila/k7play
The view finder is great, and it's easier to see through. I'm not
shooting with the battery grip because I haven't purchased it. A part
of me would like the vertical buttons, but I have to say, it's been so
much fun shooting with a really light camera. That K20 is a tank,
especially with battery grip.
Moving through a crowd with the K7 is fun. It's so quiet. I can get
closer, and I'm quieter. Of course, if you get noticed, you get
noticed, but if you don't and take a picture folks aren't going to
hear much. I worry a lot less about exposure due to the K7's improved
exposure accuracy, and find I'm not chimping as much--though I do
some--but still this is quite liberating. Post-processing seems
quicker--less cropping adjustments et al.
If the rumor is true that a K5 is coming, it's going to be really
interesting to see what the improvements are.
So, I think I'll keep K7. I know I'm singing to the choir here, but I
just wanted to get my say in :-).

More testing and play here. Comments welcome. Cheers, Christine
P.S. I know there are two color pictures in this black and white
gallery, but I just couldn't get rid of the playful purple. :-)
