And weather sealing.
I'll go on record as saying that I don't think that weather sealing
is
coming back on anything other than flagship model.
Weather sealing was one reason I personally liked the K200D and I'm
sorry it is gone on the K-x, but in terms of affecting the sales of
people looking to buy a $500 camera - I don't think it moves the
needle.
I'm not looking to buy a $500 camera, but I couldn't survive without
weather sealing. I shot for five hours in the rain last weekend,
including numerous periods of heavy downpour. With the K7 and DA*
lenses, I didn't have to give it a second thought. Need that, love
that.

And I shoot in a dog park that in the summer leaves me in a cloud of
the finest dust a good percentage of the time. So far, none of it has
penetrated my K7's defenses, though I'm sure if I went out in the rain
anytime soon I would see brown mud running out of the nooks and
crannies of the buttons and dials.
As an aside (I always have at least one) I recently imaged about an
hours worth of video at the park, using a Sony stereo clip on mike
clipped to the top of the lens shade. It looks and sounds great on my
iMac 24" in full screen. I do not know when I will find the time to
learn iMovie well enough to edit it into something viewable by others.
I had an appreciation for the work needed by videographers to make
something interesting to sit through. Perhaps Cotty will give me some
lessons the next time he visits the states of insanity that we call
home. :-)
