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 position in the market is not as good as it was during the prime of 35mm film. But still, Pentax continues to attract a legion of photography enthusiasts.
Now, we have the Pentax K-7, the company’s newest enthusiast/semi-pro level DSLR. This good-looking camera replaces the K20D’s somewhat plump utilitarianism by a sleek and pared-down elegance. The Pentax K-7 price is reasonable at $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 most important features of the Pentax K-7: improved sensor with a 4-channel readout, 3-inch VGA LCD screen (920,000 dot), 720p/1080i HD video recording, and more compact magnesium alloy/steel alloy.
The Pentax K-7 also sports an improved viewfinder (less magnified but greater coverage) and a shutter mechanism with 1/8000th speed. The camera also features faster continuous shooting of up to 5.3 fps as well as AF illumination lamp. It also comes with a 77 segment exposure metering sensor and a dust removal system.
These are just the biggest stuff; their implications are nearly as significant as the obvious effects of these changes. The Pentax K-7 now allows faster video and frame rates. As well, the reworked, 4-channel sensor generates less noise compared to the version employed in the Pentax K20D.
Moreover, the Pentax K-7 has many more subtle upgrades and additions that reveal just how fundamental a change the camera is from its predecessors. 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.
The Pentax K-7 also features an adjustable shadow correction and dynamic range highlight. As with composition adjustment, it uses the SR system in repositioning the sensor to fine-tune the composition. However you look at this baby, it is a well-specified DSLR.
