The problem is that I'm not spending $1600 on a camera. The new Kr will be about the same price as the current K7, but I suspect it will be a better version of the Kx. That's really good but it probably won't have K7 features. I see the K7 as my "shoot the race" body with the FA135 and the E-P1 with the lumix 1.7 as the "Epcot at night" camera.
