I used a K7 (ex Mark Cassino) for 5 years until I upgraded to his K5.
The K7 sensor is poor in low light & noisy above ISO400 but I found that
used within its limitations it could give excellent results. TAV mode
was useless with the ISO difficulty. The K5 solved that problem & so far
I am very happy with its performance. I may yet upgrade to a K3 if I can
find one at a bargain basement price.

The K-7 and I never really took to each other and I got myself one of
the first K-5 ever sold in town. I hated the K-7's Samsung sensor, the
limited dynamic range and the noise in everything shot at more than
ISO 100.
Yet, when I look at some of the photos I've taken with it, they have a
special quality about them. A certain crispness, the restrained
colours...
Maybe the fact that I was less lazy, in those days, and made much more
use of primes, tripods, and low ISOs also has something to do with it.
Just came across this one and thought some of you might like it:
