Pentax K-7, It IS Here!

[dnaxe]

I doubt it will be near the price of D3. If it is Pentax is killing themselves off.

Hey, if it does ISO 6400 just like a D3 (but with APS-C)...

 

[darrrrrrrrrr]

haha, can we just ignore that D3 comment?

 

[scorpioh]

Pardon me for a final reply to that D3 comment:

If it's near D3 price, i'll switch camps. ok, not quite meant it, but you know what I meant. lol.

 

[skypacker]

I thought release price is somwehere between US$1200-1400?

 

[darrrrrrrrrr]

enough of D3! back to the K-7!

i think...

5fps up to 40 shots in JPG, 14 in RAW

3 shot in-cam HDR

some sort of horizon levelling using the sensor shift

olympus-style flexing dust removal

stereo sound, Av adjustment and AF in video recording

1/8000 max shutter

1/180s sync speed

And i love the preview screen. Is it the big big type like those on d300 and d700?

It's the big big type like those on the:

500D
50D
5Dmk2
D90
D300
D700
D3
D3x

(and probably some other makers)

Obviously not RMB8000 (D3 probably SGD6K now).................... I think lichtleiter is very mistaken ......... :think:

If that's the case, you can buy 3 K-7 w/ the money for one D3 :bsmilie:

 

[rotisiao]

i think the only major drawback is the flash sync speed of 1/180. was expecting 1/250.

Haha its not that big a deal lah. Half a stop of difference only. when pentax does an electronic shutter... hmmmm..

Bro, Buy! I think it is gonna be within your budget.:bsmilie:

 

[le petit prince]

B&H lists it for $1,199.95 = S$1.8k roughly

And it's a just launched model.

So we should expect local introductory prices to be about that. Or so we hope!

Come on, MJ, do your magic

 

[P3ntx]

I justed leared, green + ok = Auto ISO cool

P mode rear dial swith to AV and front dial swith to TV cool.
