What about the rapper from Brass Eye - 'Fur-Q'?

Great set as usual Gary! Is that a new water mark? I like it!

Love all these. You've really got candid portraits down to a tee and the light in the last one is superb. Fabulous pics with life and soul. Ten out of ten!

That's right Anne. The d7000 issue is totally unrelated to the k5 sensor stain issue. The cause is oil being spattered onto the sensor.

The K7 resolves far more detail than the istD. I'm guessing your impression comes from looking at 100% crops of completely different shots, where the istD might look 'better' but you do not have to 'zoom in' to the shot to get to 100%, so it's a false impression. Anyway a picture tells a thousand words... guess which one is the istD and which is the K7. Just for fun I included the K5 as well. Each shot is a 100% crop of dpreview's sample picture.

Assuming you're going to occasionally want to print A3-A2, I think 10mp is about the minimum for best results. Anything over that will be fine, the pixel count is actually not that relevant. For example the K5 manages to have better IQ than previous 10, 12, and 14mp models, despite having extra megapixels. The number of megapixels isn't going to reduce IQ per se, because the increase in pixel count comes hand in hand with other technical advancements.

You really have this LBA thing bad, eh?

A Superwide II will probably come up for under 100.00 if you're patient, and I do think that's still worthwhile for what is a nice useful lens. In the meantime why not splurge on the Pentax and see how things work out. The great thing about buying old lenses is you can always change your mind and sell them, often for more than you paid if you shop around

Okay.

Personally I'd go for the Kr and some nice fast and sharp lenses - which (IMO) will make vastly more difference to your images than the IQ difference between the Kr and K5. And they will still be there if you upgrade again in the future - when the Kr and the K5 are both 'yesterday's news'.
