Interesting. Successful ergonomics is a function not only of design but also our personal anatomy and mental wiring. Although I've yet to buy one, I loved the feel of the K-7 the moment I picked one up; I've always felt my K20D (and its predecessor, my K10D) to be a bit awkward compared with my first DSLR, a DS2.
Glad you're enjoying your camera.

Originally posted by Pentaxor I like the K-7 because of it's magnesium alloy casing. nothing like having a significant amount of protection.
I've seen no data from Pentax (or anyone else, for that matter) demonstrating that a K-7 is actually more damage resistant than other Pentax cameras in real-world circumstances. Such may, in fact, be the case, but I'd need a little proof before I'd write a check for a K-7 based soley on the expectation that it can take a lickin' and keep on tickin'. It's a great camera, nonetheless.
