Product ReviewsPENTAX Pentax K K-7 14.6MP Digital SLR Camera - Black (Kit w/ WR 18-55mm Lens)

Nice improvements from K10d and K20d

Initially I was a bit concerned about the slight adjustments in body style/design, but after a few months of regular use, don't see any places where structural integrity has been compromised. Even with the BG-4 grip, the body is a bit smaller than the K10 and K20, making it perfect for travel, and still ensuring higher resolution/functions than most other dslr's in its class (especially for the price). I've used the HD video function a fair amount, and while you can constantly adjust the focus manually, can only set the depth of field (fstop) before you start each recording. All in all, a nice step up, a bit fast focus when paired with the DA* line of lenses, and seemingly longer battery life.Read full review...

Pentax K-7 14.6 Megapixel Camera Body

This is my first dslr camera I bought it because I love photography and wanted to explore it further than just a point and shoot camera. I love the fact that this camera has an auto function, I was able to use it right out of the box. Now that I am more familiar with the camera it is amazing. It has so many features that there isn't anything left to want. You can even edit your photos right on the camera. I can't imagine going back to point and shoot. My images are more dramatic and so much clearer. I am extremly happy with my Pentax k-7.Read full review...

Pentax K-7

I recently upgraded my Pentax from a Km to a K7. I'm still getting used to the new features, but I am impressed with its performance. I must admit, I miss the Km for its easy-to-use features, but I'll get used to the K7. So far, the picture quality seems to be pretty good. One thing, however, there's a small problem with the SD card slot, and I have to take my camera back. The SD card goes in OK, but it doesn't come out, as it gets stuck. I hope they can rectify this soon. I'd recommend this camera to anyone looking for a semi-professional DSLR.

A very nice DSLR for lady

I bought the Pentax K-7 three weeks ago and was impressed with the number of features available on this handy but well-built DSLR. The size of the camera is perfect for for my wife on her small hands, which is almost impossiblly found from other brands. It's not super light weight due to its high-quality metal body frame, but she can live with that. So far she is impressed with the functions and is still learning to use it, and we have already found some good things such as water-proof and long lifespan of the the battery. I'd recommend the camera if you're looking for a quality DSLR for a small hand user - e.g., perfect for lady.Read full review...

Next Stair

K-7 it's next stair of Pentax's DSLR cameras. I've decided to buy it cause i'm a "Pentaxian". Previous my camera was K10D GP, and it's still wonderful. Main reason for buying Pentax it's Lenses. Modern DA lenses not so good, but Limited series still maintain their reputation as Lenses, but not a peace of glass. But even than I prefer legacy Full Frame lenses. Why K-7? Maybe it's not Full Frame, but in comparison with Modern Canon and Nikon DSLR's it's still look attractive. It's have good FPS (5.2), video recording, and of course Lenses, and don't forget - price. I always thought that Pentax cameras not for photographers, They are for Artists. It's not so good for fast moments capturing (maybe Hi ISO fix it out), and its not so wide spread(like seeds) through photographers, but image taken with Pentax looks like paintings. I believe, someday Hoya will change and conquest the world of Photography.Read full review...

Pick of the bunch (of current top-notch DSLRs)

I have been interested in photography since my teens (some decades ago) and over that time have owned various SLRs from all the main producers, and the brand for which I came to have most affection over the years was Pentax.
My last camera was a Pentax K10 digital SLR, which I found excellent, but recently I could not resist looking over a K7 as being the latest in the line: its solidly made, compact, and handsome body, plus its technical excellence and its elegant and comprehensive, yet relatively easily followed, menu structure etc, resulted in my taking the plunge and buying one.
I am glad to say that I have no regrets about having taken this rather expensive plunge, because it is the most satisfying camera I've ever owned, definitely even better built and more "intuitive" to use than the K10, (and, for me at least, preferable to the comparable offerings from Canon, Nikon, and Olympus).Read full review...

A tank packed in a small body!

My K-7 is a tank, accurate exposure meter, dust and weather sealed, 5 fps, awesome quality pics! I can use the lenses my uncle and dad had stored for years!, ergonomics are excellent and with a pancake lens you can actually lurk around the streets without being conspicuous. And the price for used ones is a steal! Big doesn't mean better...Read full review...

GREAT

Everything works just as I expected it to. I've been using Pentax Spotmatic's since 1967 and love the feature that lets me use all my OLD screw lenses on the K-7. I've also got an old Ascor 1600 strobe that works with it too.Read full review...
