Good question, with only opinions for answers. First off you have to ask yourself what the primary use of this camera will be. Any professional use or strictly amateur. The K-x is extremely well speced and is a bargain. It is very small and light and handles well. It is also tops when it comes to low light work.
The K7 is a pro build, solid workhorse that is really designed to be used and abused. Everything about it is excellent. The one "weakness" is the sensor isn't as good at low light a the K-x. So I see it as the K-x is your choice if low light work is a major issue or if the camera will be used moderately. The K7 is your choice if you are looking for a real "go to" camera that is going to be used a lot. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
