There is yet another possibility, Steve. When new Pentax cameras are
announced, there'll be a lot of people selling their K7's and K-x's (and
other, older bodies) in order to upgrade. At this moment, you may find
an excellent specimen of K7 or K-x for more than a reasonable price.
Personally, having seen briefly K-x in Chicago I should say that I have
only one major ergonomic reservation about this camera. The viewfinder.
It is very very small... On K7 (and separately on K10D) I've a
magnifying eye cap. It is not enough, but it is better than nothing.
Other than that, given that on K-x you can set its only wheel to do a
program shift (thereby attaining a good half of hyper-P double wheeled
operation of K7) - it is pretty much a toss up...
K7 has better viewfinder, metering, AF, you name it. But K-x has a
sensor second to none. This is what K7 lacks.
Also, having most of your Pentax gear sold, why don't you do the logical
thing and let it go completely?
