Originally posted by Edvinas I have two things to complain.

This is not a complaint yet, but I am afraid that price will be very steep, some knowledgable people suggest that it will cost more than Nikon D300.
Pentax redesigned the camera so all the buttons can be operated one-handed. You're seriously going to complain about a bracketing button? Many photographers have never touched their bracketing button. (I had to check to see if my K10D actually has one...)
I sort of thought bracketing went away with our film spools when we went to digital? I spot-meter and inspect the histogram and rarely have exposure problems. And it's so easy to change shutter speed or aperture with the e-dials, I just assumed people who did bracket would just do that.
And the batteries? Were you mad that the K10D used batteries that weren't compatible with the K100D? You *do* realize the K-7 is *not* a replacement for the K20D, right? That'd be like expecting a Canon 1D battery to fit in a 40D -- a camera in a different class. The K-7 has higher-density batteries that are slightly larger -- it seems justifiable in changing the design to accommodate that.
Ridiculous.
