The K-7 pretty much nailed everything I wanted fixed about earlier Pentax DSLR's except the high ISO performance, which wasn't good enough to get me to upgrade. I still want a K-7x, the K-x is a great little body but the K-7's VF, build and sealing and LiIon batteries would be a big upgrade for me, I just need K-x level high ISO from it. -Adam -- M.
