K7 vs K-r

Thank you all for the advice.

For me it's coming down to 2 features, neither of which are on both cameras. To get them both I need to buy a K-5 :(
-Improved AF performance (K-r)
-dual dial controls (K-7)


The K-7 uses SAFOX VIII+ w/ secondary light sensor. The K200d uses SAFOX VIII....same systems without the wavelength sensor.


From this, I assume K200d & K-7 have similar performance (speed), with the K-7 system being more accurate in some light situations.

The K-r uses SAFOX IX, this has been described as a huge advancement in terms of performance (speed). I wonder if it's also more accurate.


AF performance and accuracy affects IQ, while dual controls are a convenience. I would choose IQ over convenience in this case.

Of all the versus threads, I'm surprised this one is missing. Yes, two different levels and target users, but they are currently priced about the same....so some comparison is reasonable I think.


I'm in the market to upgrade from a k200d. I'd consider myself an above average shooter with a pentax limited lba.


I understand the technical differences and can compare features, but I'm still torn between these two bodies. I've never owned a higher end body, just pentax & nikon mid range bodies...so moving up to a high end body is attractive.

-Don't need the high ISO performance.
-Weather sealing is a nice, not a need.
-I consider the k200d autofocus performance very very bad, K-7 & K200d share the same autofocus system whereas K-r is upgraded.
-I don't think I would appreciate the two control wheels, but I've never owned a camera with two so I can't really say.


Any help nudging me in either direction?
