Considering the importance of the latter, I wonder how Pentax could have their camera ready by July. Hopefully the K7 will perform better in the end but I am a bit worried about the first version.

AF/iso/shutter speed change in movie mode?) and miracously come up with a quick solution.

Will have to rewrite the review. I really hope the changes are small, else it would be a really bad move by Pentax. Will have to rewrite the review.
