Other than that, 38 gave it 5 stars.
4 gave it 4 stars.
2 for 3 stars.
1 for 2 shiney ones.
Other than that, if you have one, do not be afraid to try different settings.
Just my 2 pennies worth.
Also agreed. I think the K-7 is valid on the bad review, and all the good reviews, too.
For $800 body, some of the best lenses (and cheaper in price and size), in-body OIS, WR, etc. etc.... Pentax does kick ass.
But I guess many of us wish for $1500 Pentax would make a camera that does much more. I think many of us would be willing to pay more $$ for more Pentax camera.
It's so close to beating Canon and Nikon... if only they'd make a Pro model, and not only a prosumer model.
When I go shoot, I'm the only Pentax user amidst all my Canon and Nikon friends. Though I am able to carry more lenses, own more, and they marvel at how small it all is. I can carry 5 of the best limited prime lenses in a small zipper pouch made for a few cans of beer! And two bodies, a 28-70mm 2.8, 80-200mm 2.8, and 6 other prime lenses all fit in a small backpack. So size and weight and build rule.
Oh well... oh well... oh well.
