A.P K7 Dig?

Hi, I just bought 2 copies of this weeks Amateur Photographer Mag (For the freebies on the cover) and happened to notice in the N-k-n D300s review summary that the Pentax K7 was a 'compelling but flawed' alternative Camera. Naturally i read the review but there was nothing to qualify the statement within the review or any hint as what this flaw might be. I am quite perplexed! It cannot be the resolution as the K7 manages a healthy 28 line pairs in comparison with the N-k-n 22. The Video can record for 10 minutes at 30fps compared to 5 mins and 24 fps. Both have a 100% viewfinder. The reviewer takes great pains to point out that at an Airshow the Autofocus did well at picking up aircraft against the Sky! (I don`t know of many better situations for an AF system to give its best other than against a plain wall!) The D300 is a fine Camera and i`m sure the D300s is a worthy update but there was little of any substance within the review to explain the writers up beat attitude towards this test, Or for the apparent sideswipe at the K7.
