Im a K7 owner. I cannot speak about backward comparisons. As this was my first stab with a digital offering. But the camera takes beautiful images. I cant agree with Nigel about it control of noise in low light. For me the K7s biggest plus point is its upward compatibility. With all the controls in the same place as a K5 variant. Using the same battery Same grip. It makes life very easy for a later upgrade.. Though I would recommend for what its worth, going the K5 route in the first place...

Nice to see you. To see you ........Insert your own phrase.

Welcome back to the fold

My 55-300 is not like that at all. Its very unusual for someone to come on here complaining about this particular lens..

Impressive set Mike.. I've tried a few macro shots. Cant get near the quality of these...

Just leaked: information about a new Pentax DSLR named the "K-S1"

Wont be rushing out to get one Im afraid.....

We don't get many photographers here doing sports. So good to see. These are good efforts without for me being quite there. I think no 1 is stronger if you crop the sky out. 3 is difficult to see the point of interest. Leaving 2 and 4 as my favourites.. Hope to see more soon.

PM sent

We need more Sports togs on there.....

I had this problem when I was using my K5ii and Sigma 150-500. Purchased the Manfrotto 498RC2. Problem gone away. Solid as a rock. Not the cheapest at approx. £70. But I highly recommend it. It can also pan too which some of the cheaper ballheads on the market cant do..
