Somehow, I doubt that
More direct access doesn't always mean better ergonomics; I'm quite worried about this aspect, for the new model. The K20D interface is a very good balance between control and ergonomics; the buttons are logically organized, you have access to basic settings (yes, including ISO) when you need it - and can make such changes while looking through the camera.
I'm afraid the new camera could be a step behind. More direct-access buttons, bigger LCD (let's assume this), smaller camera - well, something must go.
But of course, I shouldn't speak without holding the camera in my hands
Re. the "K-7" (or whatever name it will have), I would also suggest not to expect miracles.
An evolution of the K20D, with a different body, improved performance and many more "bells and whistles", yes. Something vastly superior, or on a different level? No way, I would say. The K20D is a very good camera, anyway; except for speed, it's very competitive with the other APS-C models.
I also don't believe in a "Limited" camera, not in this case. Limited means metal, precision machining and a classic style&feeling. Probably a very expensive concept, if they were to apply it to a camera.
