Another Aussie K-7 user

Another Aussie K-7 user reporting in - arrived a few hours ago so still charging the battery

Upgraded from K200D skipping the K20D. Love the body size and weight. Can't wait to get shooting.









So how's battery life for you K-7 guys ?

awaiting for your k-7 overclocking results..

what croc said, liveview sucks the battery dry.. quick as!

will definitely purchase a batter grip and third party battery once the price settles down.

Lucky bugger.

Where did you pick the FA 35 up from, out of curiosity. They are hard to come by nowadays.

Hoping close to my K200D with 4x AA 2700mah Powerex get 1000-1300 photos per charge (40-60% flash used).

Swine flu takes longer than a week to get over

Welcome to the Aussie K-7 owner group eva2000.. I am sure you will enjoy it.

The battery is great... as long as Video and live view are not used
