A Call to Arms!

I know focus is manual, and presumably exposure also (in other words, no automatic adjustment if the lighting changes), but are there any other drawbacks?

Focus is manual, however you can enable auto-exposure in video which does cater for lighting changes.
The only thing that worries me if I get a K-7 is that I then become obsessed with making movies of stuff...then i'll have to edit them in Premiere Pro and get the transitions spot on and looking professional-ish etc etc. I know that's what i'll be like, and i'll really enjoy it too - but I fear that my standard photography will suffer. This is why I have'nt bought a seperate digital video camera before. It would be like me opening a can of worms.
So i'm still in two minds if I really want a device that can do both. Though when I come to upgrade from the K20D, let's be realitic - whatever I go for will probably offer video.

link The concert on the end makes me realized something, since high ISO noise is never one the same spot in a frame you can bump up the ISO very high without seeing it in the movie.
Edit - watching all the movies makes me wanting one, just need to rob a bank now *sighs*
Did you have to share these Stefan!?!?!?
Why do females always feel it's necessary to poke out their tongue whenever a camera is pointed in their direction ?

That's you in your Avatar Mike? Wow!
Touche!
On a totally different note .. I have been looking at quite a few videos made with the K-7 in the last few weeks and wish to know something.

"how dare you point that thing at me... I haven't checked my make-up, or my hair... those things always make me look rediculous.. you wanna make me look foolish? here's you're foolish! now put that away before I hide it somewhere you'll need your Doctor to find it....
I guess....

get your k-7's and make a video... either a product review, or a how to video, or an art peice/commercial to show what this camera can do...
treat it like a paying job from Pentax or a magazine or a client.
then let's post links to the results and see what we can do with this camera.....
I'll be buying one after christmas, but can borrow one for a day in the mean time....
