I think the OP's point was that he wants two things: a small interchangeable-lens camera for taking everywhere
Funny enough the Sony NEX camera's carry an APS-C sensor and are smaller than Panasonic and Olympus micro 4/3th offerings

It looks like this has been answered already, but basically I find most of them are a little underpowered for serious work. It'll be okay for editing a few photos, but after a while you may get frustrated by the sluggishness. I would rather just take my laptop, or even (whispering so Stefan doesn't hear ) my iPad.
Tim nothing against using the iPad, it's a multimedia device by design so it would probably work very well with JPG at least, don't know about RAW.

I find it only a bit strange you first say that netbooks are a little underpowered for serious work and then you name you rather have a laptop or your iPad.
Do you mean that the iPad is more suited for editing photos than a netbook, care to explain that a little more?
Can the iPad edit RAW files?

To talk a bit more about the iPad, the storage size is limited to 64GB is there anyway you can make that larger, maybe by means of using an USB harddisk?
I've read some reports that say you can't do that unless you hack the device but I don't know what they say is true and if there are maybe other ways?

The reason I ask is that I shoot in RAW and when I'm two weeks away on vacation I'll probably shoot over 64GB on photos, that mean to archive my photos that the iPad shout be able to have more storage and also hopefully a way to back those photos up.
Yes I can really shoot over 64GB, once shot a 8GB card full in a day

DA*300

So that makes 10 I reckon
The OP asked for specifically designed for the APS-C, he's probably meaning cropped lenses so to say.
DFA lenses are also made for the 135 format so those aren't cropped.
The DA*200 has the same lens design as the FA*200 so that one was also not specifically designed for the APS-C.
The DA40 also finds his root in a film lens.
I actually think that almost all these lenses find their roots with older lenses, so a film lenses that's being adapted to the DA series.

Most likely the only ones that won't work on 135format would be the wide angle lenses.

Can't you turn that off in the menu ? I'm sure I saw I could turn the DFS noise exposure off ?
Nope, I'm afraid not.
Smeggy, Gareth use a GX10 the Samsung version of the K10D so he can turn it off on his camera.

Simply convert the PEF to standard DNG and then shoot that way from now on. The Adobe RAW Converter (free download) will do this for you. I do hope it supports the K-7; I used it for K-x images with no problem.
That's the Problem like Flossie says.

Every Pentax camera model use an unique PEF file, so the PEF from a K20D are different then a PEF from a K7.
The RAW converter therefore needs to support the PEF for that model of camera.
Because the K5 and the Kr aren't out yet there aren't any converters that support them.

You could try and see at Adobe Labs if the new DNG converter is open for beta, if so it might support the newer cameras.

PS. flossie, there is software that allows you to extract the JPG preview that's in a RAW file, maybe they work on the PEF file then at least you would have a fullsize JPG.

I've read quite a lot of good review about the Pentax ist series cameras, that's actually how i came to know about Pentax.
Sadly at that time the price was to high for me so when i finally got some money the K10D was out and i bought that one, although i nearly bought a Nikon D80 but the Pentax seemed to offer more for the money and of course i've read about the sublime primes from Pentax.
