I don't see how much of an upgrade this is to the 550d. May as well get that one, or even better, a K-7

The 10-20 is great value. My brother in law uses the lens almost exclusively for his landscape photos, and has sold many lovely prints.

You might find the going rate for the K200d not that much higher

I am probably going to be selling my K200d body imminently ;P

Strange 'watercolour effect' to the ISO 1600 shot! Interesting concept for a camera though.

Interesting that Alphamountworld lets users review other makes of camera! Unlike some places...

Didn't DSLR User do a similar comparison with a similar set of cameras, and awarded the K-7 first place? That said, it does look like a fairly systematic review. Good AWB performance on the K-7, if that's any consolation!

I've noticed that 'real world' reviews by people who have actually used the K-7 for a length of time are usually much more positive - 'the DSLR i've been waiting for' etc.

It's funny, whereas I get the impression that Canonistas brag about how much they've spent, Pentaxians like to brag about how little.

Wow Flossie, what a bargain, well done!

K-7 prices are already coming down pretty quick. I'd say they're already quite reasonable to be honest. Having picked one up several times, it seems that you're getting more than a few weatherseals... they feel bombproof!

I wouldn't upgrade from K20D either Bob... but from a K200D I'm starting to get tempted. (The K-x would feel like a step backwards, no matter how great it is at ISO1600)...
