No, it does not make K-7 junk. After all, it is a piece of gear

happen to value.
In short, I am not happy about K-7. I kind of used it because it
had no real alternative up until the K-5 came out. The difference
between K-7 and K-5 as illustrated by Paul and others (in visible
image quality, Charles, not in measurement) is so significant that
it leads to me to totally write off the former from my list, in a
manner of speaking.
I hope I clarified things for you somewhat.
I guess I can see that... I find it fascinating how differently the
camera is perceived based upon so many variables. For me (all-green
images from something being broken notwithstanding) the K7 is a
marvelous camera and a great step up from the K10D. Weird.
All the same, the K5 looks great. I'll probably buy one in 2 years
(or whatever follows it) when the price is a bit less
stratospheric! Frankly, I'd have a hard time "selling" a new camera
to The Wife after just getting a new camera. :-)

The K-7 offered huge advantages in use over the K20 or K10 because the
exposure is very accurate. That's priceless. In good light, the images
are fine. Although I have to admit that with my car photography for
magazines, I had to clip the highlight level to about 247 to avoid
printing highlights that looked like blank paper. But the results were
still quite nice.
