K-7 in stock and shipping from Amazon

BrendanPK · 07-07-2009, 11:56 AM

Amazon Rocks, ordered yesterday about 6pm EST, got today with overnight shipping for only $25 (thats less than 1/2 what B&H wants BTW) and it just arrived about 2:45pm EST with my mic shock-mount too BTW. I cant wait to really start shooting now

Already have 1 assignment thursday for it.

My preorder with free shipping stills says shipping on the 9th, but it's switched to not being able to edit it and they preauthorized the card today, so I'm hoping it's actually shipping today/tomorrow. Or they are just trying to drive me completely insane.

My K7 just arrived at my forwarding box today, and is on a Fedex plane on it's way to me now

so hopefully later tomorrow or thursday I'll have it just in time for a saturday shoot

I'm not sure. I would assume they should be soon. The manual says that a full charge for the battery may take up to 6 and a half hours.

can I charge it only a few hours the first time? It's charging right now but I'm getting too impatient watching the camera sits still.

Woohoo! Shipped today and supposed to be delivered tomorrow! Glad I stuck with free shipping. But UPS doesn't get here until around 5 pm, which means by the time the battery is charged it'll be time to go to bed.

My K-7 battery only took about 3 hours to fully charge for the first time. Take the time to read the manual. The UI is quite a bit different than the K10 or K20D
