I have to be honest.. I missed that whole era. . I was playing around with a nikon then.
I played guitar and that took most of my time. but my great grandpa taught me a bit on an old pentax.. and how I loved the dark room.. it was weird.. like an opium den or something.. the smells and the light. I will always remember that.. I am 35 now though.
This was when I was 8 or so.
I wish I knew about the older pentax digital lineup..
All I know is I picked that k-7 up.. and it was like going from a cheap fender acoustic to a martin d-45 acoustic guitar.
and I went in to get a d300.. not that k-7.
I want a second body.. do I need one, prob not.
honestly, how do you think it compares to the d7000? I am not changing systems .. but they seemed to make people happy with its features.

I honestly see what your saying.. I do not see it something that grabs people.
but then again.. apple was dead in 1997. no.. they are not going to step on canon or nikon.. they are damn bob dylan of cameras.
I was a nikon user.. there is just something about them.. they are like an old 67 vw karmann ghia.
I just enjoy using the damn thing.. and that's what you always hope for it to be about.
and if nothing else... I will be buying glass.
but I understand what you are saying.. and you are right.

and maybe we had such a nice camera in the k-7 that we (well I can only speak for myself).
expected a much higher jump.. I do not know.
I keep telling myself this is happy, its great. (and I know nothing is official as of yet).
am I trying to talk myself into it? not sure... had a beer or eight.. but I know I am going nowhere.
I am staying with pentax.. and my next camera will be a k-5.

I was amazed by the k-7. It caused me to change systems. I doubt I am that amazed that much by the k-5. but like said earlier, An update to the little bastard I have next to me.. I can live with it.
I can appreciate it.
Would I love them to come out like jimi hendrix and put everyone to shame. . hell yeah.
we all pick our feudal lords.. even if we do not realize it.
But its ok, the k-7 has taken more walks with me than my childhood dog.
he left me (old age).. pentax is just making me another camera.. and a bit better.

Thats what I was thinking (not that it means much... )
I rarely go into the forbidden area of my k-7 ... that really did not come out sounding the way I wanted it to ;)
But if I am going to pick up a second body.. may as well get a k-5. not going to rush out.. well unless I hear something monday. .
I want to bitch and complain! thats what you do on a forum right?
but how can I be upset about a ... well... a slightly better k-7?

and to you..
Can an iso that high even be useful. . or will it just be a noisy mess?
I know we will not know until someone gets their hands on the thing.
staying with pentax though. .
I do not care what others want to use.. thats great.
I am happy...

But Iso and Better AF .. I wont bitch.

damn... not sure if I should pick up a k-5 or k-r as a second body. have the k-7 already.
May as well go for the 5...
Hell.. not sure why I am even feeling a bit let down... it's an improved k-7, what else do I need.
A beer... thats what.

If the k-5 was full frame hoya/pentax kept one hell of a secret.
you would think that would be all over the place.
I will end up with the k-5 either way. . I have been spending 4 to 6 hours a day shooting(weather permitting).
so I would really like to (i.e. have an excuse) pick up another body. because the k-7 is all I have right now. and I think I would go into a fit of depression if something happened to it.
That's what I am going to tell the mother of my twins anyway ;)

was not a first time buyer, but I switched from nikon and sold all my glass as soon as I picked up the k-7 (I only had 5 or so lenses).
Went in to get the nikon 300, and just kept walking back over to k-7.. this went on for an hour or so, walked next door to a pub. Had a few drinks on it.. went back and left with the k-7
And I do not regret it in the least.
