Took a few pictures. Erm,,, took a few more pictures... still taking pictures.
However, I recently took the K-7 on a fortnight's holiday and it really comes into its own when you do that. Especially with the battery grip attached the number of pics you can take is phenomenal. I didn't even come close to running out of power at any time and the knowledge that you've got another battery sitting there ready to kick in if you do adds so much confidence that you're not going to have a camera that dies just as that shot's begging to be taken.
I went pretty nuts at a zoo, which is why my little raccoon friend is headlining this post, and even though I was using the big zoom which is massively battery hungry with its AF I had no problems.
Another thing which came in really handy was the fast frame rate if you go for rapid fire photography with fast moving critters. For all real world uses the ISO 800 was noise-free enough to be useful - there's only a bit of noise enough to vex pixel peepers.
