Well the sensor (photo) is the deciding factor here because you can't move that.
1) use AF and take a photo - you can then see if you need to adjust the AF or not
2) use manual focus (split-prism screen) and take a photo - if the DOF is off you know you need to use shims to adjust that.
ps. it can easily be that both are wrong, also remember that AF sensor is affected by the colour of light indoors it behaves slightly differntly then outdoors

We didn't tried it with a Nikon but glad you did, also Fuji has it buried in the menu so Sony probably also... Was trying out a Nikon D90 a few weeks ago, try putting one of those into centre spot, focus mode or selected, buried deep in the menu sub system!!!
These are those little things you find out when you've used a camera a bit, why don't Pentax advertise these features more?

Elements is out of date and does not have any support for PEF files from the K7., it's as simple as that.
PEF file from the K10D are different then from the K7 so Elements need to use different support for each camera model.
CS4 is new and is being up to date by Adobe, CS3 for example would also not be able to open PEF files from the K7.
DNG is the only universal RAW standard and Elements might be able to open those.

RAW files besides DNG are camera related, so a PEF from the K20D is different from a K7.
The wonderful thing is the DNG files in the K7 are compress so if Elements works with that then that's the way to go.
Also CS4 loves DNG files, you won't have any limitation with what you can do with them.

You had the GX10 before this and they are pretty the same I believe in terms of setting, you will probably be very fastly used to your camera.
As for the settings I believe everyone has there settings of the camera differently so no use asking that
Just shoot away or get the manual and go trough all the menu options.

Well weather resistance means with me 1m water depth but I wouldn't want to try it out.Would the shower work? That's pretty much equivalent to being dunked for a quick second in water.
I've resined my K10D a couple of times under a tap full open and that never caused me problems but the luck is with the idiot or something like that

True, but as the government now has the power to shut down any message forum, photo sharing site, or social network I'm not sure it can be described as a victory.
