I'm not paying more than 1% of attention to all blurry photos and endless threads on some forums full of wishes what the new camera will be, but let me (hopefully) spawn some fuss here , information from "some other place in the internet", source in theory more reliable and better than "blurry picture of something" says:
New K7D will be a bit smaller than K20D, with 14mpix APS-C sensor, bigger viewfinder, much faster AF , HDMI movies, microphone socket, no Fn button (functions under a 4-way switch), probably SDM kit lens.

Regarding the sensor, my personal opinion is, I wouldn't be suprised seeing same sensor as used in K20D, but (very important but) improved, we know that this sensor had (has?) some problems, i.e. excessive noise in dark areas, I saw nice research pointing to a potential problems with integrated signal amplifiers, which could contribute to that, we possibly feel that Pentax could in the past just jump out with high mpixel, immature sensor to show something new when competitors were far away. I wouldn't be suprised seeing this sensor application improved, sort of same sensor but better , it makes more sense to use something tested, mature, than something completely new, does it?, especially for some sort of products/mile stones.
To say more, I wouldn't be suprised to find the sensor in recently manufactured K20Ds is performing better than in the first batches.

Thanks John, I didn't know Hoya's are so "popular", I think I saw one of these on ebay once and it was sold for more than 40 quid, but quite possibly I wasn't looking to often to see other ones .

Just a thought, but whoever wins would need access to online hosting with a sizeble download quota.
As a starting point the one I used to upload first RAW could be tried, doesn't require any registration, quota is enough for RAW, download speed not bad without paying, any better propositions welcome.

Ok, let's complete our voices, so we know who we kindly ask to submit next RAW. Simple rules proposed for this on the page 2 were "each of the participants + person who submitted RAW indicates the best work and secondary best (backup ) in their opinion (but don't point itself ). In case of tie the one with most of 'secondary' wins, as a last resort person who submitted RAW has last word. "Winner" in reward will try to submit another RAW for next challenge".

My ones go to: Isdky (clear, nice tone, strong sharpening which seems to work well here), secondary goes to MGraley (very nice snow storm shown).
I must say that some interesting propositions have been submitted, I hope much more to go, and Nathan, yes definitely not conventional, still interesting though.
