If you have to get a Pentax body right now and you currently do not have any body, which current Pentax DSLR body do you get? Assuming that you can afford any of them but of course you should still consider the features you need and the Cost/Performance ratios of different bodies.

Here is the Poll:-

Jesus, this is hard. Feature wise, K-7, hands down. But the allegedly bad high ISO performance is quite a big issue to me who most of the time shoots at ISO 3200... I'd prefer the K20D, but that one doesn't have a video mode, which I miss with my current Pentax. So I'm more interested in the Canon 7D/5D Mk II. :( If I could afford them.

Just read the DPreview review of the K-7, and had a look at the samples. Now I want one. Noise isn't an issue using RAW, compared to similar priced cameras, that's good enough for me. Ok, the K20D is superior in that aspect, but in every other aspect the K-7 seems to be the better camera. I'll take it.

Ps: I think Pentax should have just left out the JPEG mode, or make the RAW button a JPEG button. IF you want to shoot JPEG you press it, and the next photo will be JPEG. After that the camera returns to RAW. On a camera such as the K-7 there is no need for JPEG.
AFAIK it already works that way, at least on the K200D :)
Really? That's cool. I liked the Sigma SD10, just because it only had RAW support and no scene modes. On a camera in the class of a K-7 or 50D/300Ds there is IMHO no need for automatic modes. Just learn to use a camera, if you shell out so much money.
