Originally posted by Michele85 I have been reading reviews and information, and I've read that the K7 is slower than a comparable Nikon? Is it noticeable? I guess I just want to really love my new camera, so I'm trying to do as much research as possible before I purchase it.
Thanks!!
I came from 5 year old Panasonic FZ30, which i thought was fairly fast. But i am glad the K7 is a lot quicker and the recent 1.3 firmware made it substantially faster again. So the reviews won't cater for the recent improvement.
I believe it's considered the fastest Pentax yet, so you should be fine.
If you were getting paid for sports or wildlife, the Nikon's are hard to beat, but i believe the difference between first and last is quite negligible.
I'm sure others with experience in both will chime in..
