I know that the best answer to this question will be subjective, but can someone give me their subjective opinion. I want to buy a K-r, but am concerned about it's smaller size when compared to my K10d. My k10 feels good in my hands, which are about a gloove size 11. Will I be unhappy with the handling of the Kr? I picked up a Canon xs at a local store, and it felt pret ty small in my hands. The K-7 and K-5 are also smaller than my K10. Am I stuck??

Help me out here guys!

Don't think you'll have any problems, but best is to fondle one first! The K-7/K-5 is slightly beefier, but nowhere like a D300S!

Can't speak directly about the Kr but after a week with my K7, I was seeking the battery grip to increase the size because my hand kept cramping up. The grip made it slightly larger (feeling) than a naked K10/20. Now, I wouldn't be without it.

Thanks guys. I'll try both suggestions.

I can't compare it to the K-r, but I do have a K100D, and while not as comfortable as my K10D, it doesn't feel bad. Looking at the specs of the three, I'd think the K-r would be about the same.
