Should be color style in the K20D. like Bright/Natural
645D has the same button.

Think energy storage, that would be an unexpected metal IMO

Since the camera is supposed to be presented in Norway, it's probably made of aluminum alloy then. Norway has been a large producer of aluminum for ages. The new Macbook is aluminum, so why not ?

it made up of CRES or

Molybdenum.

No any aluminum. Only steel.

fejker · 05-15-2009, 02:39 AM

Steel as in Fe+C? If it's made just from that material then it will be even heavier than the K10D/K20D.

One new thing I would like to throw in this discussion.

I think someone mentioned that SR in the K-7 would have interesting features. What could this mean. One thing I can imagine would be a panning mode. Any others?

The camera is smaller than K10D/K20D, but the weight is almost the same.

Some mentionned shift (as shift lenses) although I doubt it. But why not.

That would be great. As I like the weight of my K10D ... it keeps my hands steadier.

Imagine rotating the sensor when mounted on a tripod. A tripod usually has coarse controls for getting it level; with rotating the sensor you can get the horizon 100% level.

I have read somewhere that the body material is magnesium steel. Don't quote me on that though.

From Digitalfotonetz.de:

This is from a photographer who has been allowed to handle a real K-7:

- More agressive noise reduction available in JPG (less noise and less details)

- AF "best ever" from Pentax (no further comment possible yet).

- About as heavy as a K20D and "does not feel that small" in even a "large man's hands" used to a K20D.

- Improved weather resistance (better than K20D).

- The shell doesn't "feel" like metal on first contact.

- A postprocessed 720p video demo made by Pentax does exist. Its quality is said to be "breathtaking". The photographer was really impressed by what he saw.

- AF works in video!
