ANyway, I was still quite confused after all the different reviews and videos but after someone finding this one and pointing it out to me it is all a lot clearer now.
That has redefined clarity in my book, thanks so much for the link Mike.

Oops sorry Richard, I'll tone down my enthusiasm a notch

Interesting to hear though that it supports contrast based autofocus in HD video mode. I seem to remember somebody posted that autofocus wasn't possible during video capture?

Looks good to me Craig, what do you think about the sharpness?

All I get from IE8 and Firefox 3.0 is:-

Connection Error

Must be busy I guess.
Works for me Peter (Firefox 3.0.10). Just go to dpreview's site and look under Reviews / Previews

Statements like this really make me smile.
If I want to spend my money on something that gives me pleasure then why not?
Well said Mike, I quite honestly couldn't care what people spend their money on or when they spend it. It's their money not mine after all

I just thought this review would be of interest to all you people with money to burn! link
Yes interesting read isn't it but I think it's more of a Preview rather than a review

I think dp have mentioned that it will be some while before they have a full review up...

At least one person has lied answering the poll.

As far as I know, no one actually has a K7 - they may have it on order but not in their hands.
I'd put it another way... somebody has let their enthusiasm for the K-7 run away with them (slightly).
Never mind, I expect the 'Poll police' are not too heavy handed in these parts

BTW it wasn't me (just in case any of you were wondering).....I ticked the K20d box, honest

[quote:3496ace15f="Mannesty"]Of course we are, we're not brand snobs. Well . . . not really . . . as long as it's Pentax.

PS: Did your colleague buy from Jessops by any chance?
Yes it was Jessops. How did you know? Or am I missing something!
If he/she had gone to Jessops, their fate was sealed. If they were going to buy anything, Jessops would only push Canon or Nikon or Sony . . . very hard. Pentax stopped supplying them with stock ages ago.

Even when Jessops did stock Pentax, it was never high on their sales agenda.
I told him about SRS and he asked where the nearest shop was. I explained that they were on the internet or "down south" and he said he doesn't trust internet shops! I did try.[/quote]Definitely his loss (as many around here will testify) but as you said at least you tried
