Two friends of mine that use Canon 550D's have used my K7 and D700 and have said they like the feel/handling of the K7. They are both professionals. They still use the 550D's as of the late May Bank Holiday, they said they have too much Canon glass to jump ship?Doesn't go into exhaustive detail, but for once the reviewer actually seems to understand the market that the K-7 is aimed at (and comments that it feels like it has been built for a very different market segment).

Each to their own.

They have to be saving fuel? Some accountant has done the maths.

I think I'd take the K7 and the K10. Wow, not having a grip on my GX10, that'd just feel sooooo weird
If your just taking 2 lenses then how about the 18-55 WR and also I think you have a 70-200 f2.8?
Maybe take a TC also :
Lenses are (this minute) 10-17mm, 16-50mm, 50-135, 70-200. + 1.4TC and AF1.7TC. Logic says leave the 70-200 and use the 50-135 with the AF1.7 as I have said in other threads, that combination is fast and furious AF compared to SDM.I think I'd take the K7 and the K10.

Thank you Hefty for the explanation.
Still my mind can't really grasp it.
The lens has a smaller angle of view on APS-C sensor so it should behave like a 42mm shift lens on 135 format right?
I'm probably well off target with this Anvh, but I think the the shift is more effective at the image edges, hence we lose that when we crop in. I tried my 28 shift in my istD and could not see any beneficial effect. Much better when it was used on my LX.Thank you Hefty for the explanation.

Both Ricehigh and Ken Rockforbrain have been discussed ad nauseam on every forum. Both are nitwits of the highest order.
