No kidding, but I was already expecting that from my D300. I have to say it freaks me out a bit. And it's nice in a way to have that level of control, but probably overkill. I found myself liking my pentax camera more at times just because it seemed so much simpler.

Thanks for the info, that's good news. I guess I'll have to...

read the manual

Is that the same grid as in the D300?

Ahhh, you mean the regular old grid lines, not like a cool flight simulator kinda live leveling thingy. Yeah I knew about that and it would be helpful to check horizons etc but I prefer to have a clean wide open view. When I need to, I'll use the virtual horizon in the rear LCD or a 3-way hotshoe bubble.
JAS- yes I think the grid is the same as on the D300.

You should have stuck with Pentax. The K-7 levels the sensor for you, so no need for a hotshoe bubble or virtual horizon. Phuh!

Yeah, I'm a Pentax fan...

My Olympus E-30 has an electronic spirit level for side to side and front to back leveling and it's visible in the viewfinder, the screen on top and the live view display. heh.

Yeah, Ok... but does YOUR camera also make espresso

Yes, I'm a fan too. The K-7 is an uber cool camera that really had me tempted to stay in the Pentax camp, but it had to be one or the other, and the prospect of full frame now plus my current investment in Nikon CLS flashes and other accessories kinda decided for me.

My D300 and $5 bucks at Starbucks gets me a Latte!
