Main rivals of the K-7: 500D and D5000?
: Someone care to enlighten me?
Going up against the likes of the Canon EOS 50D and Nikon D300, the 14.6 megapixel K7 certainly has a lot to offer on paper, surpassing its main rivals in many ways.

Photographers with no vested interest in a particular manufacturers system now find themselves spoilt for choice in the prosumer category, with the K-7, Canon EOS 50D, Olympus E-3 and Nikon D300 all at the same price point. In many ways the Pentax K-7 offers the best overall package out of them al

And all in all I would say a very positive one at that.
Couple of minor points it could possibly be pulled up on but a pretty decent review I would say

My Tamron 1.4x MC4 works fine with the 16-50mm and 60-250mm using SDM.
The 1.7x also works but of course you lose SDM and you have to manually focus close to the target before it will actually lock on using its own focus.

Anyway;

Tokina 12-24 (actually separated at birth from the Pentax: £439, Pentax £519
Nikon 18-70 (f3.5-4.5): £298, Pentax (f4 I know): £349

Actually the 12-24mm is virtually doubling in price as well

I will wait for the K7 for as long as I can, my K20 is not going to suddenly stop working.
My K10D might if they take too long dropping the price to what I find acceptable

Superb lens although I thought mine was broken when I first got it due to the SDM focusing which was a little weird (and still is actually) after using screw drive lenses.

Yet it made it on to the Pentax photo gallery anyway
