What a silly concern. A good film body without winder weighs around 800g, and it doesn't have to have all that battery supply and the like. The K-7's made of metal. This is a good thing.
So, Sony made a slightly-heavier camera, now the K-7 is supposed to become lighter because someone made a full frame that no one's handled yet and may, for all we know, end up feeling cheap in the process? I mean, I hope it doesn't, as there's enough cheap-feeling stuff out there on the market, anyway, but I honestly don't see the point of worries like that.
Whatever size the sensor, past a point, lighter is not 'better,' anyway.
