Originally posted by pfcapture ivoire, having both cameras k10 and k-7, do you feel the k-7 is worth it? it may have features I haven't considered using but prob would once i have them. I can get the k-7 through amazon for $1060 with no payents for 6 months which works for me as i'll be doing some weddings to maybe justify the costs by then and maybe sell my 200d. Was just thinking how cool it would be to shoot video through my 10-17 fisheye lens? has anyone done this?
I upgraded for the feature set and the K7 is excellent. Very usable up to 800 iso and beyond with post processing using topaz denoise, noiseware etc. much better white balance, very quiet shutter (a plus for weddings) faster frame rate, etc. Since the camera pays for itself and more, I have no problem spending to upgrade (i chose pentax for the lens variety and better profit margin). there are a few videos with the k7 and the samyang/rokinon/opteka/etc 8mm fisheye that are quite good. The pentax fisheye should work very well. The 6 month amazon delay plan and price is a definite plus. I buy used when i find excellent deals. New things always have their own charm (plus a warranty. I believe the K7 will give you everything you are looking for based on your post.
