I have been looking at upgrading my samsung gx1s to a pentax KR recently, however having finally got my hands on one in a shop, I am undecided on the KR vs the K7.

Does anyone know how much I should realistically expect to pay for a good example of a K7 body.

I know I can't quite stretch to a K5, but maybe a K7 is just within reach

TIA

First page I looked at on Amazon had a K7 body priced at pennies off of £900, but a K5 priced at £630 for a body only. If this is your budget, why not see if your local camera shop has the new K30 that you can "test-drive"..?? I believe the K30 is being priced around the same figure. Indeed, SRS Microsystems are pricing the K30 at £599.00!!

Presumably you mean a good used example of a K-7?

Around the £350 mark if in good condition with all the bits and a low shutter count.

Thanks mike, I did mean a used K7.

Around the £350 mark puts it in the frame. I will keep an eye on the classifieds.
