Apparantly the GX30 has a built in laser which blinds Canon photographers so you always get the best shot!

You don't require that, Canon users are blind already

Ouch

The D400 should actually be good news for medium term K-7 adopters

Nothing like a bit of good humoured healthy debate

Stefan you are right, mild rain or drizzle, probably OK (with a bit care) but heavy rain I wouldn't risk.

SDM current I wouldn't know but obviously with camera PSU (battery) limitations they are probably a very particular beast, not like industrial linear motors for example

Agreed, what the writer as done is basically 'cherry pick' features from other bodies to make a comparison.

Making a comparison with the D5000 is laughable really. I'm sure it's a good little camera but really come on.

Feature wise the K-7 is at the (D300, D50 and E-3)+ level....

Actually, apart from the extra weather sealing and a couple of extra megapixels, what does it have over the Nikon D90 for instance? And that's over £400 cheaper....

Well I guess that's the point, the D90 doesn't have those features. Weather and dust sealing is high on my priority list.

But if wanted you could also add:-

Faster frame rate on K-7

Magnesium Alloy body rather than ABS

Shake reduction on all lenses

Oly like sensor anti-dust system (the best in the business)

Built in electronic level

100% view finder

Those are without looking at the specs...I'm sure there are more

Don't people just love knocking things

I wonder why??

I think it's not unfair to say that no other manufacturer has all these features in a camera that is as compact and robust as the K-7.

Certainly many Oly users have registered their interest (dpreview forum) because the K-7 looks to be pretty much all the camera they were hoping the E-30 was going to be. As an ex-Oly user my self I have to agree

Just my humble opinion
