 Highly Desirable SEMI-PRO Camera October 23, 2009

I have just returned to photography after some years absence and done a lot of research as to which camera to buy. After much deliberation I chose the Pentax K7 . This model competes with the Canon 50D and the Nikon D300s , and offers much more value for the money coupled with backward compatibility with all the Pentax lenses.
It is the ONLY camera to offer full weather proofing of both body and lenses.
The size is small compared to its competitors yet it has solid, robust professional feel to it, and an extremely ergonomical design. I guarantee once held you will fall in love with it. Also the kit lens is arguably one of the best avaible at the current time. I am very pleased with my choice.
Love it January 28, 2010

I have had the Pentax k7 for two months now, I love it.
Every thing about the camera is good, colour reproduction is more than wonderful, handling is just right. All the programs and features work wonderfully. I think some features are unnecessary, such as sensor movement, why not move the camera. But I wouldn't be without my K7.
I did a lot of research before purchasing the K7, Olympus came close, but Pentax won the day.
I'm very happy with it.
great March 21, 2010

I find the Pentax K7 a fantastic camera in every department. I spent several weeks checking out the other top brands; in the end,I had no problems in choosing the K7.
The build is first rate, the auto focus is on par, and the PENTAX lens system and accessories are all top notch.
It does what it was designed for extremely well July 16, 2010

I've owned my K-7 for the best part of a year now, and have been extremely pleased with it. Many reviews simply don't seem to "get" the camera's USP, which is a great shame.
The K-7 is about rugged, outdoors, all-weather photography, giving an impressive feature set in a durable but compact body. It's the perfect travel or landscape photographer's camera, incredibly intuitive but best-suited to photographers who like to fiddle and fine tune, rather than people who expect to get the best results at default settings right out of the box. Buy it with the WR kit lens simply to make sure that you have a system that is perfectly designed to cope with the British weather! And that lens is no slouch either: much better build than many other "kit" offerings, and a decent performer too, especially once you move past the widest angles and widest aperture.
This is a discrete camera in more ways than one. The quiet shutter can certainly be a bonus. And it's compact size - especially when coupled with some of the great Pentax primes that it was surely designed for - make you much less noticeable and threatening to the people around you. It's nowhere near as "in your face" as the enthusiast level Canon and Nikon offerings, and for some of us, that is probably an advantage.
If you want to shoot sports at mega frames per second, buy another camera.
If you want to shoot indoors at high ISO in very low light, buy another camera.
But if you want an incredibly well thought-out and rugged camera that is going to spend most of its life outdoors, travelling, hiking, etc, then the K-7 really deserves your attention. There is no other camera that offers a comparable set of features for that market, at the price the K-7 has now settled in.
