I've owned the Pentax K7 for 6 months, and have shot well over 7000 photos. And no, I'm not exactly a pro, but I do shoot a lot for both work and vaction, so bottom line is: I LOVE IT! I just get so inspired, I haven't felt like that since I had to retire my old 35mm Pentax. I did choose Pentax because I do have a 30 year old XL and a bunch of manual lenses that I really didn't want to throw away. They work perfectly with the K7, however the obvious fact is that the manual lenses won't turn magically into automatic, and the camera must be programed for them to work, but I am very happy 'cause they DO work.
Here's some other features I love: super fast trigger (not easily clogged), tons of customizable settings, on-screen warnings, and it is quite small and light for a DSLR... Having said that, It is NOT an easy camera to use for someone with even a little photographic training, and most of the menus are designed for studio-type pics, or if you'd have enough time before taking the pic which cannot be all of the time, so if anything I'd improve on, is somehow having an on-the-fly type options, better superdark sensitivity, and better remote control sensitivity. They are pretty good, don't get me wrong, but I have a Sony 7mpix pocket camera with slightly better superdark capabilities.
This is the fifth digital camera I own, and it is my first DSLR, and with all of them toghether I have shot well over 25,000 photos in about 5 years, so I'm also very thankful that I don't have to develop any more film, ever!Get more detail about Pentax K-7 14.6 MP Digital SLR with Shake Reduction and 720p HD Video with DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL Weather Resistant Lens.
