OK question, is the K7 with the grip fitted that much smaller than the K20 and grip? OH and I never put a battery in the camera I only use it in the grip.

Jack.
Roughly about the same height but not as wide.

I think Pete's smiley indicates it was meant in jest.

Some like grips some don't, such is life

Ah I see....apologies

Must admit I have the grip on mine more often than not. I find it balances the K-7 quite nicely, especially when I have many DA* lenses fitted.

Huw.

Jack, just out of interest, do you use the laptop as your primary PC or do you use a desktop too?

Huw.

Shane, I have the WR version and my daughter has the MkII. I would say for the money it's not a bad little kit lens, nothing spectacular from a performance point of view. You will need to stop down throughout the range for best performance and it's not the brightest to start with.
Benefits are compact, weather resistant with decent build (WR version).

More like a 'double' laptop with that sized screen
Nice spec though the battery life looks a bit limiting.

I've just bought a Dell 11z (dual Pentium, 2GB memory and Win7), it's great little laptop, just slightly bigger than a Netbook with a 11.6" wide screen and 1366x768 res.

As Jack says, with your list of lenses......
The K-7 and Grip

Don't you have an FA50 f/1.4 anyway?

Edit: you're too quick, but then with the DA* 55 you would have to make that first step out into inclement weather

azile5 something in this thread must have triggered your rather explosive response/post.
Your list of lenses looks pretty impressive to me. Body wise the K10D capable though it is isn't really in the K20D / K-7 league from a performance perspective. So what is the issue?
Of course the Eos 5d mk2 is 'different' and I doubt anyone would deny a nice camera BUT at a very nice price

Edit.. back to the subject, I too vote for more dynamic range
