Photo Credit: PentaxMay 20, 2009, (Sawf News) - The Pentax K-7 features a compact, magnesium alloy body, 14.6 megapixels CMOS sensor with shake reduction and video recording.
Like other Pentax digital cameras the K-7 sticks with the 23.4 x 15.6mm size CMOS sensor.
The camera body has a Pentax KAF2 bayonet stainless steel mount that is compatible with practically all Pentax camera lenses.
Its 3 inch LCD with 921,000 dot resolution lets you frame and playback video. The Live View mode, with contrast AF, Face Detection, and optional histogram, grid, and bright/dark area display, allows you to quickly compose your images without having to position your eye against the viewfinder.
Its image processing engine allows you to shoot at 5.2 frames-per-second for sporting events and any fast-action.
The Widescreen HD Movie Capture mode works with an external microphone terminal for recording stereo sound. It offers high resolution playback of images and video on HD TVs at selectable resolutions (1080i, 720p, 480p, and auto).
The K-7’s Dust Reduction system, an improvement over previous K-series cameras, features a piezo-ceramic vibration action to the sensor’s low-pass filter for dust-free image capture.
At $1200 for just the body, the K-7 represents the top of the Pentax SLR lineup.
