subject: Is The Pentax K7 Digital Slr Worth Buying? [print this page] The reason I decided to buy Pentax k7 was because...
The Pentax K7 camera feels like a real camera. It's quality of build is typical Pentax. The feel when I first picked it up was just like my old Pentax Practica which was, actually still is amazing. The Pentax K7 has that very same weighted feeling which helps you feel that steadiness when you've a shot in your sights.
Everyone knows that Pentax make superbly reliable digital cameras and Pentax K7 camera is a point in case. Countless reviews and word-of-mouth exposure, reveals that this much loved camera is punching way beyond it's wieght.
There's always a lot of talk about Pentax digital cameras when they coe out and this one is no different. Although it's not exactly the newest digitalm camera it's certainly one of the most effective and thats for sure.
It's also extremely easy to use and very versatile just like my old Pentax Practica, it'll do it's own thing for you so you don't have to know a lot about shutter speeds and all of the more complex issues affecting photo quality. Just basically point it and click. You got a great photograph.
You can find info on the Pentax K7 camera all over the internet. I wanted to replace he older Practica with something robust that could be worked hard in any environment like my old Pentax. That makes it sound like maybe it's a chunky camera but the Pentax K7 camera is actually quite a refined piece of equipment. Beautifully designed to get the job done whether your in the great outdoors or wherever you find yourself. It's so nicely balanced it's a joy.
The Pentax K7 camera is more weather resistant than many other cameras too with a total of 77 protective seals providing protection against all the elements , dampness, dust, sand and even temperature extremes. It'll take temperature extremes to 14 degrees Fahrenheit. The Pentax K7 Digital SLR camera has a chassis that is reinforced, allowing a firm grip. Even though the chassis of this camera makes it a little heavier than many of it's competitors, it's so nicely balanced I feel that the weight actually helps the feel of it in your hand. It's got that satisfying feel you know when you point it at something it feels nice and steady and seems to shake a lot less than others as a result. This means you get the feeling of confidence while your using it. Thats one nice feeling.
Its still easy to carry, weighing in at 26.5 ounces (751g) (that's counting your card and your battery)
I already have an SD880 Powershot for parties and everyday sort of uses it fits right into my coat pocket and I just knew the Pentax K7 camera would be perfect for my more adventurous trips, and I knew I'd be able to get some great images with it. That's Pentax though... You can rely on Pentax. The K7 is actually well and truly weather proof and has great seals making it useable in the more unsettled weather systems we get in Europe and N. America..
The camera is designed to be easy to use and handle intuitively, which means basically they've had the good sense to put all the buttons right where you'd expect to find them. The Pentax K7 camera has a large display screen too which is very handy indeed. All in all, I'd say that's what makes the Pentax K7 so cool...
