Pentax K-7 Price
The Pentax brand brings to mind a lot of memories for many photographers, enthusiasts or semi-pro, who began with a K1000, KM, Spotmatic, or ME Super. Pentax’s market position is not as well established as the company was during the heyday of 35mm film. But Pentax remains popular to many photographers.
Now, we have the Pentax K-7, the company’s newest enthusiast/semi-pro level DSLR. This attractive DSLR camera’s pared down and sleek elegance is a replacement for the Pentax K20D’s rather plump utilitarianism. Pentax K-7 price: $1,299.95.

A lot of photographers, I bet, will include this latest baby from Pentax in their wish list. Here are some of the highlights of this DSLR: 720p/1080i HD video recording, smaller steel/magnesium alloy body, updated sensor with four-channel readout, and 3-inch VGA (920,000 dot) LCD screen.
The camera also has a revised viewfinder (greater coverage but less magnified) and a new shutter mechanism with 1/8000th shutter speed. The DSLR also sports and AF illumination lamp and a much faster continuous shooting of up to 5.3 frames per second. What is more, this camera features 77 segment exposure metering sensor and a new dust removal system.
These are just some of the big stuff; the implications of these changes are almost as significant as the apparent effects of these changes. This DSLR camera now has faster videos and frame rates. In addition, the improved 4-channel sensor yields less noise than the Pentax K20D version.
What is more, there are also many more restrained additions and upgrades that show just how basic a change the Pentax K-7 is from its ancestors. It has an improved ISO button, three-shot built-in HDR capture, and distortion and chromatic and aberration correction for DA and DFA also found in RAW conversion. It is a great idea to buy Pentax K-7.
It also has a shadow correction that you can fiddle with as well as a dynamic range highlight. About composition adjustment, the camera uses the SR system to change the sensor position and to adjust the composition. However you look at this baby, it is a well-specified DSLR.
