Funny thing about the low light question...before I got a K-x, I didn't shoot low light much without a tripod but that was really because my K20 and earlier cameras couldn't shoot low light. Now that I have a K-x, my shooting techniques and style s have been changing due too the new capability. So the K7 represents the best of shooting the old way and the K-x represents the opportunity to do some new and exciting things. For me at this stage, I would go for the K-x. If you buy from B&H you have some time to return and exchange. That would be ideal. Get the K-x because it lets you try things you haven't done before. If you find you aren't delighted with it you can return it and get the K7.
For me, at this point I never use my K20 anymore unless my daughter is using at the time I need it. Given the choice, I always pick the K-x over the K20. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
