Microphone for K7D

Thanks for that. Full-bodied sound there.

Shame about the picture quality. It's degraded by something your editing or some other software has done. Much clearer K-7 videos can appear on YouTube by uploading a .AVI file directly from the memory card, but of course then it's not edited.

Yes i was surprised at the image quality too!
I edited in Power Director 7 as i normally do and it uploaded straight to You Tube, I normally produce a DVD and play it on a Panasonic Vierra LCD TV the image quality is indistinguishable from normal programmes.
Still now i have got the hang of uploading i will try some more when i have time.

Just tried uploading a short cliplink to see why the image quality is below par, It appears that i am unable to use a higher quality due to the slow broadband speeds where i live! So sorry guys! I cannot give a demo of the quality of the Pentax / Rode combination until we get a better Broadband Connection (Above 1/2 Meg at least please!!!)
I will keep on trying different formats to see if i can get any improvement.

Thanks for the helpful comments - looks like I shall be investing in a Rode mic sometime soon!

V. impressed with the K7 so far...
