Long time lurker first time poster. I have been lurking for a long time on these forums and have gained lots of knowledge and tips from all of you so thanks for that. I have had a Samsung GX10 for nearly 2 years now. I have been wanting to upgrade to the K7 since it was released but was just waiting for a decent cashback offer and price drop. I have just spoken to a very nice chap at SRS and purchased a nice new Pentax K7 and grip, now I feel like I can be part of the Pentax clan properly.
