Pentax K-7 is NOT the same level with Canon Ti or Nikon D5000. It sits on the same level with: - Canon 50D - Nikon D300 - Olympus E30 - Sony A700 Check this link for preview from DP Review: http://www.dpreview.com/previews/pentaxk7/page4.asp
It's not set in stone, but dpreview chooses cameras in those preview comparisons that it views as competitors. I think most would agree that the folks at dpreview know what they are talking about on that subject.
@Ken: The features, materials used, the buttons it has for just about everything that no beginner would even know about, the lack of automatic mode except for the obligatory green one (no special portrait mode, no special firework mode, etc.), it all makes it pretty clear that this camera is aimed at photographers who know what they are doing and want control over everything. The only thing that lacks in this camera is that they have left in a JPEG mode. I liked the Sigma SD9 and 10 which didn't even bother having JPEG support.
The whole line-up consists of the $60 Amps in-ears and $100 Tracks on-ear headphones, which both also come in slightly souped-up and pricier HD variations at $100 and $130, respectively.

How is that true when all they are doing is comparing it to the weight of the other cameras?
