Of all the things the transition to DSLR has dropped on us old film folks, the hardest one for me to accept is a mirrorless camera. So I am not anticipating any new thrust into that arena by Pentax with longing. A smaller, lighter camera is for street shooting or grabs (IMHO). Though what I do "most of the time" is action shots of the canine variety, I think a lighter camera would accentuate my inability to hold my hands absolutely still. The weight of the K-7 helps in that regard.
Of course, I have the 60-250 attached much of the time, which gives me lots of stability at the longer focal lengths because of all that weight.
