I would just like to know everbodies opinion. which one is better for picture quality and functions. Pixels aren't really a factor because i know that there is about 4 mp difference between the two.

which one is best and why?

need help choosing

My vote goes to the K100D Super, because it has the extra LCD panel on top, the info in which I would be lost without.

IQ wise I doubt you will see a significant difference.
Best regards
Terry

The top screen means so much to me as well, I can't comment on the KM but the IQ from my K100D (not super) is supurb, To be honest I have had a K-7 for less than a week, I have taken it out a few times and not all that convinced with IQ compared to the K100D.

Keep your eye on the classifieds .

Basic shooting information (shutter / aperture / battery / remaining shots / etc) - the same as you see in the viewfinder. When the camera's away from your eye it's a very convenient way of checking any changes you've made before taking your next shot.

It's one of those things that you probably wouldn't miss if you've never experienced one. If you have had one before though you wouldn't want to be without it again...
