Maybe waterproof!? Mr blurry camera phone photo guy posted this to this blog 精彩的水上运动照片 - Windows Live

I think these were taken with the K-7? I could be wrong though as I don't read japenese! Nice photos anyway I would love to hear some offical wording as to what the k-7 seal are capable of..

Yes they are very maybe. :P
These pictures are from Boston globe website. Apparently from Volvo ocean race.
I think you should change the title of this thread. ;P

Here's a link to rest of the pictures: http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/05/the_volvo_ocean_race.html

Great photos! The Photographer is Oskar Kihlborg. I think he uses a Canon.

"这类片子就适合用PENTAX的相机拍摄啊啊啊～尤其是K-7～" what's that about then? best I can get is: "If就适这类片子for PENTAX摄啊啊啊phase desk to beat K-7 ~其是likelihood" which makes no sense..

it's:
"Pentax is more fit this type captures, especially K-7."

Ah so maybe in the not so distant future we can expect shots like these to be taken with the K-7 + WR lenses or DA* lenses?

I wish they'd be more honest about the sealing and say exactly what it's capable of. Like would it be fine for kayaking with a few dips in the water and a dunk or too?

Anyone know how to change the thread title?

Well I once saw a video on youtube of someone who put his K20D under the running water on his kitchen sink... couldn't find it now though..

Yeah I saw that [ I posted the link somewhere but can't find in now ] and another guy who put a k20d and DA* 50-135 in the shower for a few mins then took it outsided to take photos... needless to say it worked fine

Any that's inside a waterproof case

Go to Edit -> Advanced.

I hope people don't expect too much from the WR lenses. It was said on the pentax japan site that WR is less sealed than DA*.

Title changed. After 10 minutes you can only change the subtitle. If you need this done so the title changes in the index, contact a mod.

So are this taken with a K7 or not ?

If these are not, then Pentax should take A BIG LOOK at these, and then take pictures like these for their marketing purposes. It's a shame
they don't take advantage of the camera abilities. These kind of images are mind blowing

[muustuus]

Some heavier protection needed maybe?
Great shots indeed!

You couldn't make much sense of it because Jopy is Chinese, not Japanese. Here's the Google translation from Chinese:
"Suitable for this type of film on the camera PENTAX ah ah ah ~ in particular, K-7 ~"

Pretty accurate. This is a bit more accurate:
"This type of picture is suitable for being taken by Pentax cameras ha ha ha - in particular K-7"
