K7 at ISO 1600 in strong sunlight
Being used to only high ISo/low light situations, it is surprising how good high ISO can look with sufficient light. It would be interesting to compare with lower ISO.
Although on the first I'd probably crop in a bit closer and get rid of the out of focus leaf at the bottom. The leaf behind the top of the flower is awfully bright and conflicts for attention with the red. Probably try to darken down.
For the second, a reflector might help to brighten up the shadows, or use photoshop to brighten them up a bit.
Otherwise I like them.

Smaller apertures with faster shutter speeds - freezing action or just allowing hand held telephoto or macro shots.
You're kidding right? He lives in the middle east and said "strong sunlight". I'm surprised the shutter speed was as slow as 1/1500.

I'll wait for the K8.

what stops me from investing in one is its dynamic range, its about one stop less than the K20D
Pauly, I didn't realise that! Dynamic range ( particularly at the white end, is my personal bete-noir (how the hell do you get accents on this thing?). But just look at what's achievable at 1600 ASA! Quite remarkable. What on earth was the shutter speed?
Could have done with this low-light facility yesterday on my latest expedition...
