In terms of APS-C/1.3 sensors, the K-7 scores 61 and ranks at a paltry 74/115. That's lower than even the K10D, with a score of 66 and rank of 41 or K20D with a score of 65 and rank of 48.
Having said that, I go out and take photos with my K-7 and K10D instead of shooting test charts and taking measurements, and I've been quite content with the photos that I've been getting from both cameras.
I have a K-7 and K-10. The weakness of the K-7 is the sensor's lack of dynamic range and noise at high ISO compared to the competition. This means that if you need take a lot of shots in low light conditions, or you are a serious landscape photographer who needs high DR then it is not the best performer. But for the majority of DSLR enthusiasts the other advantages of the K-7 are worth having, and at a cheaper price than K-5. If you still have a K-20 I'd keep it, as the K-7's IQ is not really better than the K-20's. The K-7 is superior in light metering and has a faster AF than k-10.
