I own the K-7 and the Kx. As a wildlife shooter. I can tell you i very rarely use the K-7. The Kx produces the nicest photos and handles noise at a level you need no post processing. I have many examples.
The K20 is also better suited for this kind of work. I process all RAW with no noise supression in body. That is because i want DETAIL. Pentax really got this backwards. They need the Kx sensor in the k-7 body. If they would of done that the Kx and the K-7 would of been a hugggggge sucess finacially. But as it is the K-7 is a prosummer body with a junk sensor. While the Kx is a basic camera that has a vastly superior sensor.
Many on the board parise the K-7. If you want detail at high IS0 use the K-x. I personally think the K-7 is pretty much junk for any sports or wildlife shooting.
I have high hopes for the next DSLR from Pentax. But this time I will wait and go over the test results before i buy. This is just lunacy in management.
Management is deffinately out to lunch on this one.
Now I can get some high noise pics with the K-7 with proper exposure and proper lighting. But wildlife doesn't stop to pose for you. And the Kx just produces day in and day out. It is amazing.
