better for me. huge line at the Nikon booth same at the canon booth.
I got to play with the K-7 and new Olympus all by my self.

the K-7 feels great! the VF is AMAZING and the new screen also great.

I love the new size !!

$1200 is still very high thou . will wait for it to go down a bit.

I had my K20d with me and VF thou a little smaller is still very big.

The new Olympus is the BIG surprise.

I tested it with the zoom lens,

this camera is FAST way way faster then P&S , speed feels like an SLR and its also makes the shutter sound which I guess you can turn off. it feels good

the IQ looks fantastic, even with the zoom lens in door.

I almost got my credit card out as the guy told me "forget about it we don't have it in stock "

next time I want to compare it with the new Panasonic

You talking about the E-P1? I love mine. You can't turn the shutter sound off though - it has a physical shutter. It is a great camera but isn't really an APS-C "replacement." It has its own look and feel. I like it a lot more than the G1, which is much more trying to be a small dSLR.
