I thought of that, but I'd like to buy a new body. KEH has two K7 now for $789 and $819 which is not much of a savings, and I don't think I'd buy one off ebay, etc.
I do like your comment "But K-x has a sensor second to none." I think Canon and Nikon might contest that. Of course, it could be a better sensor than the K7. I'm not one that too fussy about micro-artifacts however. On Mon, Aug 30, 2010 at 2:18 AM, Boris Liberman <bori...@gmail.com> wrote: > There is yet another possibility, Steve.
