I used Pentax film cameras for years. My first dip into digital was a Canon G2 which I loved, and a Canon Powershot Pro 1 which I utterly hated. When I was finally thinking about a dSLR I was contemplating a Canon 30D and would probably have bought one if the irritating man in the shop on Tottenham Court Road hadn't annoyed me so much that I walked off. Then out came the K10D, I read a few reviews, liked the idea of staying in the Pentax fold and bought one from Amazon in the US for considerably less than the UK price along with a Sigma 50mm macro. The other day I picked up the Canon 40D in our photo lab here at work. I couldn't believe how fiddly it was to do things like, well change the aperture and the shutter speed in manual. Those dual rings are really rather a good idea, aren't they? My only real gripe with the K10D is noise above 400ASA which the K20D improves upon greatly, or so I am told and the K-7 a bit more.

I am happy once more. I got my MX back this morning (and one of my ME Supers). I have had the 43mm Ltd on it all day (decided to just take the MX with that lens). Although this isn't my original MX which was nicked on the Paris metro, it is still nice to have one again. The 43mm goes well with it although the difference from a little on the telephoto side (on the K10D) to a little on the wide angle side caught me out a little. I could do with something in the 85mm range for the MX, or perhaps that should be 77mm?
My only worry is what the cack-handed bunch of camera-butchers that usually form my crew will do to it on site! They won't be getting the Ltd though, just a non-SMC 28-80mm zoom

I find myself looking under 'M' for other directories such as "teaching". Why? Because my brain is on autopilot for "My Teaching" and "My Papers" as well as "My music" and "My pictures"... Very Pavlovian.

Have they added tethered shooting yet or is it not going to be available for the K-7? In which case it's a lesser camera than the Canikons.

I can and have used tethered shooting with Remote Assistant and my K10D so I am sure it is or will be available with the K-7.Have they added tethered shooting yet or is it not going to be available for the K-7? In which case it's a lesser camera than the Canikons.
