This could definitely be the upgrade I've been waiting for from my GX10...I tend to be a little cautious before spending my cash though so will await some review/user info..much depends on how much it improves on the K20D

Does the release of the K7 mean the K20D will come down in price?

I think it will even go up next month the price so if you want one buy now or wait till chirstmas for a nice farewell offer before it goes away.

Ditto, the most important things to me are noise and image quality .. all the extras are nice and very welcome but if those 2 things are no better then I may as well buy a K20D.

Looks like Pentax UK got the press release:

Pentax UK

I love the idea that this camera will work when covered in mud! Assume there must be a windscreen wiper on the front of the lens.

Got to say, the blurb looks impressive.

Pentax UK now have the K-7 on their site
http://www.pentax.co.uk/en/Photo_Digital_SLR.html

however it's a pretty low key product release when you consider all the other fireworks surrounding the launch.... you have to hunt a bit to find it

I registered with Pentax UK, as one of their stated Priority Advantages is...

"News about current photo trends and PENTAX new product announcements – our Newsletter keeps you informed and completely up-to-date."

Hmm... Nothing yet! I wonder if it caught them off-guard!:

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

The K20D already is cheap.
Listen to my albums free on BandCamp. Or visit my main website for links to photography, etc.

People who rushed in for a Canon 500D paid £870 a few weeks ago.
It's already dropped to below £600 at Amazon link
