thank you everyone, for all the advice!! :)
yes, to share a bit of my thought process...(i suppose i really should have done this initially):
this will be my first dslr, and i want to grow with it.
also, simultaneously with my purchase, i will be taking a intro photo class this semester.
i really like the color of pantex, the user interface, and the possibility of using old lenses; as i also would like a film slr along the way.
if k7 were a bit cheaper, it would be easier. ;)
as for the k20D, there are a few capture modes on k7 and k-x have that the k20D doesn't (such as the toy camera and fish eye) that i am being greedy of, although perhaps a bit amateurish of a concern and also understanding that the effects can be achieved with software.
i agree that perhaps even the k-x would keep me quite occupied for awhile, but another issue there is that my classes start this week, and while i may be able to hold off on my purchase for little while, the availability of k-x is noted as 'october', and if that turns into late october, i would waste quite a bit of my class?
which may not be the best reasons to put a strain on my pocket with the k7 if i am never going to be able to appreciate all its functions, but hopeful of that not being the case, k7 still remains in the list.
the d90 was a consideration because of the price vs. k7, but yes, i understand now that i can go for the k20D instead...
clearly, i am thinking in circles. :confused:

i think i am set on getting a pentax.
the current contenders are the k-7 or waiting for the k-x.....or going with the nikon d90.
any advice or wisdom welcome. :D
