LOL, I think the interface change on the K-7 is better than the K20D. The K-7 though I find to be truly abysmal in low-light/high ISO situations. Numerous shots have been totally unusable or unrecoverable via post-processing. For normal daylight it's just fine. The K-5 seems to make up for the K-7's deficiencies from what I've read and seen. Landscape photography is not too demanding of a camera performance-wise, but in general, resolution trumps all (well composition trumps resolution), hence my desire to upgrade in a big way.
