What new toys on your K7 have you found usefull
It's under the 2 second delay...
A bit off-topic, but a useful feature of the K20D that wasn't (I think) on the K10D is the setting to take all the bracketed exposures with one push of the shutter button.
As a result of the K10 and K20 being so similar I never read through the manual and as a result find things out about the K20 by accident!

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

On the Dutch forum someone has successfully installed the k20D firmware on the K10D... I didn't went into details, some options worked and others not. Also the way you need to install it is complicated.
The K10D must be in service mode and then the K20D firmware must be forcefully installed.
I wish they make the firmware available for public so taht we can have a play and port for example some function over from the K20d to the K10D.
Simple pleasures!

It sounds like a small thing but I really like the button on the top of the K7 which I can hold down and then adjust ISO with a thumbwheel rather than having to go into the function menu through the back of the camera.
Simple pleasures!
OK button on the K10D and K20D does the same thing...
Okay I'll stop now

I'm sure there is more but I've had a beer
One thing I have really enjoyed so far is the speed between individual shots, especially when bracketing images. One thing that has driven me round the bend is having to press the OK button before adjusting the selective focus position. I could do this with gloves on with my K10 and in temperatures of -6 I have now suffered for my art.
The ISO button on the K7 is handy and saves the need of going through the menu options
Menu? whats that As my K10/20D are almost permanantly in Av, I have the front command dial set to adjust ISO
What I am envious of on the K7 is the dedicated liveview button
