I'm really at a toss up at what to get to replace my K10 - KX or K7. I primarily shoot with primes, DA50/70 and 35 in RAW and use Lightroom to archive and perform any post processing.
The dilemma I (and probably many others) are facing is the KX sensor is better in certain ways than K7s.
At the end of the day I would shoot more lower end ISOs (100-200), and even though KX apparently has excellent high ISO performance K7 is no slouch, especially shoot RAW.
And as far as I understand my preferred prime lens selection is well suited (more so than zooms) for the 14mp sensor since it has excellent resolving power and will compliment their image sharpness, and that the Samsung sensor is 'better' than the KX one in lower ISO ranges.
The recent apparent retirement of some DA lenses and reintroduction a DFA weather sealed 100mm has also sparked rumors of full frame.
There seems to be a lot of speculation on a K7 with different sensor, lets call it a K7 Super?
My options are to get KX and live with any shortcomings and see where Pentax goes in 2010, or get K7. My big question is, is the KX IQ in lower ISO range significantly worse than K10?
Any feedback is appreciated.
