I'd agree with Pentaxanne, I went from a K20D to a K-7 and in most circumstances the autofocus is slightly faster, certainly on screw drive lenses.
However in my experience SDM was not much changed (i.e. a bit pedestrian).

You've lost me there Jim, we are talking about the dedicated grip contacts here are we not?

It's strange actually .. have seen members leave for Nikon, Canon and even Olympus (waves at Huw) but never Sony.
What do you mean... "even Olympus"

Oh and have fun with you new Nikon gear Gareth, I thought it looked like you were making a move elsewhere

Does it also has the preview (digital/optical) on the on/off ring?
Can't remember using the preview feature when shooting portrait with mine (ehem... Matt's :blush but I suspect you might be right Stefan.

HI
I hope pentax presents a new camera this year , it is better for pentax userīs and for new buyers ...
i think pentax have a problem in k7 it makes to much noise in iso 800 tham the competticions,...
best regards
Sorry Nestor, I disagree with you
In my experience the K-7 is not noisy at all, I actually found it to be a good performer from a noise point of view.
The trick is to shoot RAW and just expose to the right of the histogram.

There have been many threads about subject in the past. I believe it's an unfair label that the K-7 has picked up.

Front and rear control wheels, shutter release, on off switch, exposure compensation, ISO, green button, exposure lock and auto focus button.

Thanks Gary and Huw,

Great to hear from you again, Huw. How are things? Bought one of those gorgeous little Olympus "bridge" cameras yet?

Regards,

Andrew
Thanks Andrew, things are fine. Yes I have pretty much all my Olympus gear now. I didn't go for a Pen but a more 'traditional' range of Pro zooms and D-SLR body, similar to the Oly kit I had before I came to Pentax. But yes it is all working out nicely thanks

What lovely images Andrew all of them, at a pinch my favourite would be the last one but all are excellent

It always pays to do a bit of research

If the C**** guy had done his research he would have quickly realised how good the Redsnapper kit is

Rob, you're spot on with every comment regarding the ball Head in my book. I have the exact same combination and couldn't be more pleased with it.
