Hi Tan, Welcome back.
The K7 is worth the upgrade from the *ist D. It was worth the upgrade from the K10D too, but someone else will have to tell you if it's worth spending the extra over the K20D. I know I would due to the K7 being smaller, but that's me. Both are weather sealed so that shouldn't make a difference. The movie mode is something I have used more than I thought I would though it is limited, don't expect to use it like you would a normal video camera. There were a couple of features at the time that the K7 had that the K20D, but I can't remember what they are now - I just use the camera and have no thoughts of upgrading to anything different (though 6400 ISO performance could be improved). My 2 istD's (the second I got cheap and kept as a backup) are sitting in a drawer waiting for me to get 2 matching lenses and start playing with stereo photography if I ever find the time).
