Exactly what I have done Glyn

Oh no danger of that, 'test' was the operative word

The K-7 will be used predominately for stills. My Sony HD camcorder will be used for video, perhaps the K-7 for the odd HD capture

It's the old situation where users that have problems do tend to make it known more than users that are happy campers. I'm not necessarily saying there is anything wrong with that, it's just the way it is.

As a side note, of the three forum members (that includes me) that picked up their K-7 from SRS the same afternoon/time last month I'm pretty sure none have had any of the reported faults(s). All of our K-7 were from this first batch too. Again not representative but no one has really made a big point about their faultless K-7.

My feeling is that OK there have been instances of the green line with overheating sensors and also problematic diopter adjustment but they are not as wide spread as they appear.

With regard to the sensor heating issue, my K-7 should get a good test in the coming weeks as we disappear off to Provence for a couple of weeks

Hi Amin,
the size of the image captured is exactly the same size as the movie format you select in settings.
In this case I have selected the highest movie resolution of 1536 x 1024 (3:2) so I guess you could use it for small prints, although I haven't tried it yet.

Absolutely, the simplest way is to hit the print screen key when playing the avi file then open up MS paint and 'paste' then 'save as'.

Alternatively use your video editing software to capture frames (if it can) or a program like 'fraps' could probably do it too.

Quite an easy process. Simply play back the video and pause at the desired point (with the four way controller, top button). Then press the exposure lock button to capture the frame and save (OK button)

HD video is surprisingly good and with the potential of the Pentax lens range at your disposal it can be quite an interesting creative tool

It's easier on the eye than grey.

Yes it's possible, here are a couple of quick and dirty frame captures.
Light wasn't the best.

Just to second Matt's recommendation, I use them pretty much exclusively for camera memory.
