Today, I bought K-7
i've been wondering whether to get it, or not.. I was killing myself, maybe I should get Kx instead of it.. but
taking Kx and K-7 in an arm.. makes all the difference..
of course visible focus point indicators, and wheather seals, together with a silent shutter, soothes even more..
After a loooong wait of the battery to charge, I spent several hours to inspect all the features whether there are any malfunctions and to my surprise I couldn't find any..
this cannot be! did I get a good one? after so many cries for them being unreliable, with crooked sensors, noisy and etc.
I got one that is perfect! did I win the lottery or what?
anyhow.. since I cannot believe it, I will continue to inspect it, I think i'll drop it from several meters to inspect whether it's really made of magnesium alloy...
also I think I'll leave it tonight outside the house, to test its weather seals..
also if it's thief proof..
and I think to put it to the microwave.. for some curiousity.. will tell you what happened..
but to be a little more serious what I have found out:
electronic horizon works on one axis.. so it only works for 10 or so degrees downward.. upward to a little more.. maybe 20
I set the noise reduction to low, since I either will be shooting raw, or remove noise manually.
Focus speed is really faster than in K20d. that is for sure. i've test it mainly in dim conditions. and the focus assist lamp, works flawlessly.
the controls are a bit different from k20d, but i'm getting used to them..
I'm happy that they left such function, that when you hold ISO button and press green button, ISO sets back to auto.
and I like the actual noise that's visible in higher ISOs.. it's so natural. it doesn't look digital.. doesnt look square.. it's very nice to an eye.
ok, to prove that I have one, i'll attach few images.. the images were done when the time wasn't set. and the noise reduction still was set on medium.
wb was set on auto, with no corrections, yet the light in my room is red and the camera did a good job..
with a keyboard is ISO 2500 f/5.6 s1/4
other is ISO 1250 f/4 s1/30
all pictures I took, were taken at home, during experimentation, so nothing special.
also could someone tell me the acutal numbers of the photos? because mine starts at 8400..
also could someone explain three options in Auto ISO - low normal and high..?
so far.. i'm very happy with it..
I paid 970Euros. with 18-55kit lens.
I came from K20d and find noise more pleasant.. although I have it just for several hours..
