It shows K-7 compared to a couple competitors cameras. Difference is
quite stunning IMO.

K-7 is smaller than K20D and almost exactly the size of K200D.
Canon, Nikon and Olympus cameras look a bit ridiculously big compared
to the K-7.
Nice job Pentax. Now, maybe the size is too small for some of us,
we'll have to have one in hands to judge.


The depth of the grip on the K7 will help overcome the weight of a  
heavy lens that would otherwise be hard to hold onto. Get busy with  
finger grip excercises.

Far fewer fit individuals drop dead each year than unfit.  Of course
the "classic" example of a fit guy dropping dead is Jim Fixx, the
famous running and fitness advocate.  He died of a rare and almost
undetectable heart defect that had nothing to do with his fitness
level.

Health and fitness may be two different things, but they are certainly
related.  On the whole, I'd prefer to be fit than unfit.

cheers,

It shows K-7 compared to a couple competitors cameras. Difference is
quite stunning IMO.
