I bet C focus mode is a continuous focus for movie mode- similar to AF-C but simplified for movies.

And how do you focus in movies? Contrast that is!

perhaps in photo mode its continuous and in video mode its contrast?

Um, I think it's exactly "AF-C", but they didn't have room for "AF". Look at the picture.

Always search for the simplest answer. It's most probably the truth.
In this case, I'd say since there was no room for "AF.C",they wrote only "C" instead.

L.E. I should check for new messages before hitting "Post".

Now is that the definition of irony or what?

Is there an MSRP for the U.S. on the K-7 yet? Forgive me if its been mentioned before, I haven't read the entire thread.

1/180 x-sync? Is pentax kidding? :-/ Looks like K20D with more FPS :-(

I can't help but wonder if the upcoming K-8 will have 88 seals and an 88 zones AE metering...

There are 2 versions of specification of K-7. Funny...There is difference.
One has 1/180 x-sync, second - 1/250. For example.

It is...especially since ogl "has the specs on [his] table"

Yeah, what is the secret feature?

Seriously, it all sounds good but it remains to be seen how good are the "improvements". High ISO noise and AF performance come to mind.

1/180 x-sync is a bit surprising given the 1/8000 top speed shutter. If the shutter is faster, it should sync at a higher speed too. Strange.

Now let's see the price...

I wish the cover/cap of the flash socket thingy was tethered. It's so easy to lose it.
