Latest Review Posted Pentax K-7
This is not so much a review as a comment. I will only ever use a tiny fraction of this camera's facilities, and I bought it almost by accident as it was so cheap. (Used, eBay). Previously I had been happy with my K100D Super. I'm not an advanced user, but my experience with Pentaxes goes back to 1984, and before that I had a K-mount Chinon.


What I want to say. Build quality of this camera is amazing. I love it. It's clearly been abused judging by chips from the enamel but works perfectly except the diopter adjustment lever is missing.


But, I'm a bit of a purist, don't want algorithms intervening with my images, so subsequently I bought (again cheap, IMHO) a K5 IIs, second hand but unused. Which is basically the same camera, but with tweaks which make it a 9.5 rather than a 9.


The nub of the comment is that for some reason the viewfinder in the K7 is brighter and clearer than the K5. I know of no reason for this, but 'tis true.


I'm 67, these two cameras will do me now. They give me joy.
