Pentax's New Kid on the Block

Pentax K-7, an improvision of the K20D and trend catch-up of the modern Video tech-dslr

So you think I'm still a fan of Pentax after converting to Nikon? Yes ofcourse I am, Pentax is my ex-lover and I'm still waiting for Pentax to produce some stunning lines of Digital camera tools. I would love to own both Pentax system and Nikon system one day.. ahaks,sorry Canon, no room for you even if I like your white lens.

To be honest, Sony, Olympus, Sigma are left behind by the improved and demanded technologies developed by both Nikon and Canon. Sony still has a lot to learn in terms of popularizing its system, even their array of lens (though its a ZEISS), couldn't overthrow Nikon's 24-70 f2.8. Guys,keep in mind that Sony is an expert in DIGITAL ELECTRONICS while NIKON, CANON and perhaps the digital leftout Pentax are famous lens developer for high profiles groups and organization like the medical sector, military sector... and more. Thus thats why I trust lenses produced by them (except for the plasticy low-end lens which I once owned).

 K-7 owns an ULTRA WIDE LCD for 3inch viewing. 

Among the retained features (which gave me reasons to love pentax) are

Compact, magnesium alloy bod (Tough, Rugged Body)

14.6 megapixels

3 inch LCD

Weather, dust and cold resistant  

Multiple exposure settings

Shake Reduction system (on camera)

Dust-free image capture

 Advanced white balance settings 

Extended battery life

 Mirror Lock-up function

 HDR image capture mode 

RAW f file compatibility compatibility 

Dedicated RAW button 

 

 New features that makes me love this camera are:

New PRIME II Image processing engine (burst up to 5.2 frames per seccond)

 High top shutter speed (up to 1/8000)

New 77-segment metering system

 100% field-of-view viewfinder

 HD Movie Capture 

High resolution playback

 Faster, more responsive AF

Advanced white balance settings

 Extended battery life

Electronic level function

 Custom Image modes 

Dynamic Range setting 

Lens Correction functio 

Composition adjustment feature

 Embedded copyright feature

What else could I say? Perhaps the best thing that would place Pentax in the top lines as Nikon and Canon are: 1st, Full Frame Sensor feature. 2nd, a list of HIGH performance optics such as the 24-70,70-200 f2.8 to rival Nikon and Canon lens. I'm looking forward at Pentax to improve their line of products. Perhaps their business strategy would succed in the least 5 years to come. By then I might be profitable enough to own two system and perhaps trash the current one (if Pentax is capable of overthrowing them) HAHAHA.
