I'll probably get a K5, since my K7 now has well over 20,000 exposures
on the clock. That's been my pattern: sell the backup camera (K20) and
retire my main camera to a backup role when the new model is released.
Considering the return on selling the used equipment and the tax
deduction that comes with the purchase of new equipment, this strategy
seems to make financial sense. And the new camera has always proved a
plus in terms of on the job strengths. I expect the same again.

I share your sentiment for a certain part, Christine. K7 is
a fine camera. As a matter of shameless plug I am offering
you this entry in my blog:

I should also say that despite having a number of
advantages over K10D and up to date being the most advanced
DSLR Pentax ever produced, I still think that older cameras,
such as K20D or K10D (one that Galia is using as well) are
very fine photographic tools.
As for stealthiness, well, yes K7 is pretty stealthy, up to
the limitations of sound produced by screwdriver AF motor
and quiet but not entirely silent mirror slap. (I hope I am
using the words 'quiet' and 'silent' in proper order here
:-) ) This was to a certain extent demonstrated by Chris in
Chicago during that exhibition...

P.S. Unless new camera is really a full frame one, which is
quite unlikely, I don't think that I personally would be
very much interested in upgrading my K7. I cannot afford
buying a camera more expensive than USD 1000 every year.
