Pentax K7 Digital SLR Announcement And Press Release
I've posted a short article on the new Pentax K7 along with photos and the official Pentax press release and "Fact Sheet." This camera looks awesome. Seriously. I hope pentax owners think it was worth the wait. This is one I can't wait to play with. We never got our hands on a K20D so it's been a while since I've been able to use the best Pentax has to offer. I really like that it has a built-in level. The Olympus E-3 has one and I found I used it all the time.
Anyway, on with it:

You beat me to it PJ! I can't wait either. The fiance has agreed (sort of :)) to let me buy a new DSLR. Now, I'm tossing up between K20D and K7. It's all about the money!!!
Re: Pentax K7 Digital SLR Announcement And Press Release
Went to Pentax site to look at the official specks. They were listening to what a lot of users wanted. I have the k10d and for my use I didn't see the need to up grade to the K20d. Now the K7 that I will have to think about. One of features I like is the ability to shoot video. Saves carrying both on a trip. Now I know video isn't everyone cup of tea but with image stableization and good lens ( some thing lacking on most consumer video cameras) this opens up a whole new world. At a certain point the price will drop and I am in. I won't get rid of the K10d but add another camera. I hate changing lens. The only down side I see is the camera is smaller and lighter. I have large hands and with the battery grip I like the heft.

I would rather have seen the addition of a full frame camera.

I would imagine this is in the works. I wouldnt be surprised to see a FF Pentax sometime after the New Year. :)
I believe they are working on the K30D right now. Lets see what happens.
