You just reminded me I need to update my gear in my signature block. I got my K-7 release week and it's one of the few expensive major purchases I haven't had ANY buyer's remorse about at all. I'm a particularly average build, with particularly average hands, and the ergonomics feel like the thing was molded directly for me.
What kind of lenses do you still have for your ME super? I've found the K-7 to be easier to focus with the stock viewfinder than the K20D was, although the difference is very slight, but since one of my favorite lenses is my SMC-M 50, it was worth it to me to replace the K20D's focusing screen with a katzeye optic's microprism screen. They've just released the K-7 version and I'm very tempted. The K-7 with an after market focusing screen and will be about as close to the feel of an old film camera that you can possibly get.
It's an extremely satisfying camera, and the wait for the battery to charge will be some of the longest hours of your life.
