I am glad people share common thoughts with this. It feels to me when someone describes a camera as "enthusiast", that it cheapens the camera

Bottlenose Dolphins frequently visit my home on the East Coast of Tasmania, an Island state at the southern tip of Australia. I took this photo with my trusty K7.
I didn't do much post processing with this photo. I tweaked the colour saturation a little but that was it. It may come up even nicer using more professional software.
Hope you like it!

So i recently posted about using the dual SD card slots for backing up photos from card to card. I was very keen to use this function within my business and needed to get a hold of a k3 last week. The prices had since gone through the roof as the AUS dollar has dropped. I decided to would bite the bullet and buy a Nikon d7100 for the same purpose. On spec, very similar cameras.
I only own a pentax k7, but have trapped off constantly since buying that camera 4 years ago that Pentax has the best camera build quality of any camera dslr.
So what was my reaction when I unboxed the d7100. It felt like a plastic piece of shite compared with my K7. Even the plastic feels weak. It is NOT weather sealed, even though I am sure they state it is (I may be corrected). I hear people say that they will not buy a Pentax K3 because the autofocus is not as good as Canon or Nikon equivalents. Well, after seeing the build quality of an equivalent Nikon, I wouldn't care about such diffences in performance. The durability and quality of the camera body gets my vote now in a big way. I will be keeping the Nikon for work and will be buying a K3 for myself.
