Remember this camera is spec-ed to sell! with the combo of better AF, faster FPS and Video this is almost what all pentax users have been screaming for (minus video) since the *ist-D Plus this will attract a few newbies to the K-mount crowd.
Personaly I am buying one right away, than waiting a few months for a price drop than picking up a second and probably selling my K20D than (would be the first body I have ever sold to buy another) but this camera is spec-ed to what I need and want.
Brendan,
I'm with you except I will wait about a month before I buy mine. I plan on buying two, along with the battery packs and extra batteries.
I recently sold off quite a bit of my older equipment and bought some new lenses in preparation for my K-7 purchase.
Before I buy the K-7's I will purchase two more lenses, the 60-250 f4.0 and the 200 f2.8. Already have the 50-135 f2.8 and the 16-50 f2.8.
This change over was an expensive ordeal, but the new camera and the energy Hoya is putting into Pentax tells me all systems are go !
