true.
Also true that in a world where every journalist that gets asked "I want a Pro Camera. What camera should I buy? Canon or Nikon?", it is nice to see Pentax slugging it out toe to toe and getting respect.

I've barfed up things with better color co-ordination after a night of slamming back shooters, but hey if it sells, why not?

here is another review

Mine is fine.
It holds it own with the 16-45 in terms of image quality and gets used alongside my 16-45 for lots of studio shots with studio lighting where the constant aperture is useful...

you could hack together an remote extender using off the shelf stuff....
they have systems that take an ir remote signal, converts it to a radio signal which transmitts to a reciever that then out puts the ir signal,
these are sold for home entertainment systems.

there is also this...
any programable remote can be made to fire your camera if you are willing to cycle throug all the different tv models to find the right "ir pulse" to trip your camera ( i think one of the sony tv channels on my universal remote works)

lastly, my sons "Laser tag" gun works to about 8 meters in daylight, and fires my camera.
the issue however is you have to be in front of the camera aiming back, "to score a hit".. so you're in the frame, unless you're shooting a telephoto lens in which case I'm wondering why not just use a normal lens and get closer to the subject?

I was under the impression it shot 1080p
but the difference is academic, Flat panels don't interlace when displaying, only crt tv's do that.

I have yet to meet a person that can spot the difference between 720 p and 1080 anything, when viewing.

some people reporting front focus under tungsten light with fast wide apertures..
anybody tried testing if the old blue cc filters we used to use in the film dayz fix the front focus issues?

Sadly the k7, while a fine camera suffers from the famous sibling syndrome.

it is like Baldwin brothers, there is Alex Baldwin and the others named "Whatever Baldwin, Other Baldwin, Picka Baldwin"

It is like being the second most famous person from Nazareth.....

If you do not buy the 645d, Emo Kitty will do it... you can haz his cheezeburger...

we usually have them mounted on foamboard and put them in metal frames no glass.
they are tough and can be wiped clean with a dry microfiber cloth.
careful you don't cut your fingers the edges are sharp.
be more concerned about how you light them....
you need to have two lights at 45 deg from the sides and up high to make em really pop once hung on the wall.
