K-7 at SRS on June 6th
Oh and Stefan, you were right when you said that when I handled the K-7 I would want one :D. Spot on, you were absolutely right. :D :lol: I knew it and everyone was saying that the price was too high and me only thinking "you haven't hold it in your hands yet" :twisted: :D Also the price is a advic...

K-7 at SRS on June 6th
Well I’m back from a brief visit to SRS. Marred only by my wife’s warning that I’ll be divorced if I come back with a Pentax box! The K7 is VERY nice. Compact but solid. Strangely it doesn't feel very different to my K20 in the hand. Which will be good news for anyone thinking it would be too smal...

K-7 at SRS on June 6th
Do you know if the kit lens is the WR model or are we going to be paying extra for that? Just back from SRS. Ran into Danny and Mark which was nice to get to meet them. Danny had brought all his lenses and we got to play with it for over an hour. And we did some comparision also side by side with t...

I agree with your point about not everyone requiring weather sealing. I for one could easily live without it and SDM too. If the design allows for it. I would like to see a more basic version of all of the * lenses, without weather sealing and SDM. The increased sales should lead to economies o...

K-7 at SRS on June 6th
Don't knock it till you try it. I reluctantly handed it back to the staff at SRS on Saturday after holding it and playing with it with different lenses and settings. The video is an added bonus to save carrying both a stills and camcorder on holiday IMHO, but as a solid, quick, well thought out,...

K-7 at SRS on June 6th
To be honest though, the video shooting bit doesn't excite me at all, would rather soend the ££ on a decent body, Hear this a lot, and they other one is 'if I want video I'll get a bloody camcorder' The video is a bonus, and you soon change your mind when it's in your hands. To have another camco...

On another subject entirely, have you tried using the Focus Assist light yet? Would be interesting to see if it could work in a low-contrast situation.

On another subject entirely, have you tried using the Focus Assist light yet? Would be interesting to see if it could work in a low-contrast situation. Doesn't come out as often as you would expect. That's what really grabbed me about it, low light level focussing performance definately feels great...

K200D SR (Internal Movement)
I'm new to this forum having only recently invested in a DSLR (September 2008) but I am concerned about what I perceive as fault on my camera and I am looking for some advice or reassurance. As stated, I have had the K200D for a number of months and have really enjoyed using it producing what I con...

The K7 price is making me want to buy the K20D !!
On announcement I was keen on the K7 but the pricing is a bit too steep for me, the K20D is becoming ever more appealing as prices head below £500 Whilst the K7 has some decent features many of them won't prove too useful for my main requirement, Landscape Photography..the extra MP of the K20D w...

The K7 price is making me want to buy the K20D !!
What's on my mind at the moment, whilst getting over the alleged lack of auto focus for numpties like me (evidentally its inclusion would only be a function of a S/W upgrade) is the memory media...SD only. Video can't half eat that up! :) Rob Sounds like Vapourware to me :lol::roll: shim

Indeed very well said. I don't think Pentax will succeed in the FF market, Sony is also struggling as well their. Let pentax focus on their APS-C cameras and makes good lenses for that instead of also making lenses for full-frame and also mid-frame. Not if not any camera company are offering 3...

FF is arguably cutting edge for '35mm DSLRs' so pentax either joins the fight or turns it's face to the wall......there IS no in between ground. If by "FF" you mean the 36x24mm format (and I guess you do) then how can anything based on a 100+ year old set of measurements possibly be described as "cu...

A lot of interesting arguments here.... I'll start by saying I think that Sony is the ITV of the DSLR world... does everything asked of it but it can't shake off its naffness. Personally I would pay at least double or triple for a D3X any day....Yet KM (I mean KonicaMinolta) fans love it... If t...

GX-20 Price
I went into Jacobs in Oxford Street yesterday to scout out Samsung/ Pentax Nikon or Canon in various shops. Spoke to sales guy who showed me a GX-20. Looked OK, price £499 body only he told me from the computer. Sounds reasonable, I said, I'll take it. When I got to the till, I saw a sign in the b...

GX-20 Price
Nice one Lemmy, I've just rung Jacobs Liverpool Branch and they said they had one, but sent it down to Oxford St., so I've rung Oxford St. and they still have just one left and he said the box was a bit marked because it had been sent from another branch. Bit of trouble communicating with the man I ...

Samsung here forever?
Yeah photographically i meant. I just dont want to invest in accessories and then hear they are stopping SLR's I read in a magazine a while back that they had no intention whatsoever of creating their own SLR. They said they were happy to work in partnership with Pentax

Samsung here forever?
I thought they were going to take another direction then Pentax. The hybrird camera announced by Samsung is such example. I don't see a Pentax version coming from that one but I belive that if the hybrid is an succses that samsung will focus on that instead of DSLR.

Two K7 questions
I'm wondering if the metering with older lenses is more acurate, I don't really care about the 77 metering zones to behonest, i'll probable only use one :wink: Isn't the metering of older lenses all to do with the focus screen in the K10D/K20D?. I believe they are using new larger screens in the K-7...
