Official K-7 Specifications.

Malo you find that info almost anywhere
Applies a correction to the default AF. The same correction can either be applied to all lenses or on a lens-by-lens basis to up to 20 lenses.
I Believe something is also be said in the youtube video about it, not sure though.

Don't know about the exposure problems, with a new processor and metering sensor I hope it will work better.

Must have a grey moment then.

Just looked on the Pentax site but couldn't find it though but DPreview have the complete menu layout, it's menu option 36. AF Adjustment.
You've the options
1: Off
2: On
Apply All
-10 to +10
Apply One
-10 to +10

Thanks, still.....I won't upgrade if the exposure problem isn't solved.
It is BTW focussing screen related, and not a problem with metering sensor or processor.

Martin.

There is a new focus screen as well.

There is hope then. And luckily for me, my wife and our relation also some time to decide, prepare, sweet talk, bribe.........etc

Martin.

I hope that Pentax have built the camera better than they have listed the stats. according to the official site it has image stabalisation in many languages
"Image Stabilization: English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Finnish, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Turkish, Greek, Russian, Korean, Traditional/Simplified Chinese, Japanese"

and the language support works at -10 to 40c!
"Language Support: Body dimensions (W x H x D): 5.1 x 3.8 x 2.9” Body weight, without battery or removable memory - 22.9 oz, Loaded and ready - 26.5 oz; Construction material(s): Magnesium alloy shell over stainless steel chassis; Operating temperature: 14-104°F (-10 to 40°C)"

I'd love to get one of these but having just bought a DA*60-250f4 I'll have to wait.

I promised the wife a new Hoover but she didn't seem impressed.

It seems dust removal is improved in the K7. Maybe you can sell it to her that way.

Good point, maybe I could buy her a new pair of designer glasses and mention the improved autofocus at the same time.

How HDR works on the K-7

Excellent spec.

Faster FPS (5.2) - Check
New faster shutter - Check
77 point metering - check
better AF - check
Magnesium body - Check
better low light AF - Check (possibly)
3 inch screen - check
same excellent sensor without going for increased pixel count - check
same weathersealing - check
dramatically improved live view - Check
100% viewfinder - Check

shame its not 51 point AF nor does it have a screen cover, but I bet it will give the APS-C benchmark (the D300) a SERIOUS run for its money. Canon with the 50D? forget it!

I will wait until I know the price.

Looks like that Pentax might be onto a winner here. Takes an already excellent K20D and sorts out all the niggles we have with it in one fell swoop.

Can't wait until I get my hands on one in the shop to see.

The US Price converts to about £862 with p&p. I was told on holiday that the K200D had made Pentax's "cool" with Canon users. I know that they are after video, so do you think they will be imprest with the K-7?

Jeanette

I am sure it will, Live view and video with contrast AF? and a spec to beat the 50D, heres hoping........
I will let you know what my Canon friends think

One thing I have just noticed on the dpreview is the embedded copyright holder which will go into the exif data, great idea
