This is a beast., July 21, 2012

This camera is a beast. Working in the construction industry I was looking for a camera that would last in demanding conditions, Pentax seems like a good choice, I had the waterproof point in shoot that was a few years old it is was a workhorse but it was time to upgrade to something better. About a year after purchasing the camera while out on the jobsite I dropped the camera on the dirt it bounced down into a trench that was 10 feet deep. I had my guys hand it up to me, the lens was tweaked but other that that and some dirt it was still in once piece. I took the lens off and snapped it back together and turned the camera on and somehow it still works. I was amazed that a DSRL could be dropped 10 ft and survive.

Over one year of hard use and no problems!, October 26, 2011

I have shot over 10,000 photos with my K-7 in all sorts of environments, been caught in pouring rain, had various liquids spilled on it (including martinis) and it still works as well as when I got it.
Durable,great features, better and cheaper than anything Nikon of Canon has for anywhere near the money. This is a truly wonderful camera for either the hobbyist or professional - and it takes a lot more abuse than any other DSLR camera I know of .
I loan it out a bit to my friends with Nikons or Canon when theirs break (and cost lots of money and time to fix) and they never fail to be impressed.
Best camera you can get for the money, put it in your will as it will last longer than you do.

 Really Glad I Get This Camera, April 07, 2011
By P. Chow

I struggled for a long time before getting this camera over the Nikon D90. The primary reason is that this camera for me is "free" - from awards points. But when I received the camera in mail, I was complete surprised by how well this camera was constructed. Compare with Nikon D90, this fells SOLID! As for the weather resistance feature, I was very surprised as well. That, also, was so thoughtful and well constructed. When I hold this camera, it gives me a sense of quality. I am quite satisfied with the engineering and build aspect of it. As for the image quality, it is better, IMHO, to the D90. Then again, these two are not in the same class. The K7 is more inline with Nikon D300 instead but with the price-tag of a D90. As for the software (menu and such), I find that to be OK. It is something that I'll have to get used to, as with any other cameras. After using it for 4 months, I think I am finally getting a hang of this. I am still OK with the kit lens (18-55mm F/3.5-5.6) and may get a prime lens (fixed 50mm F/1.4) later. Don't know if I'll ever bother to get a 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3, but will have to see. In all, I am really satisfied with this camera and hope to be getting more lens for it in the future. BTW, this is one of my recent pictures taken with this camera ([...]) using only the kit lens.

Good upgrade from earlier Pentax DSLR, November 05, 2010

I purchased the K7 after owning a 6-year-old Pentax *istd.
The weather sealing was a major selling point, along with the shake reduction features.
I like it's smaller size and good layout of buttons.
I am really impressed with the image quality.

I will never own another Nikon, September 27, 2010

The k7 takes very detailed photos , has a lot of in-camera editing option, Live screen view with turn-tilt, HDMI(c) output & video recording (10 min at a time),on screen level, photo signature, self cleaning and dust analyzer, AF (auto focus), CAF(continuous auto focus), MF (manual focus) modes. Just, in my opinion, an excellent camera!
ALSO! my k7 has taken 2 hard spills without any protective casing, one on which was 10+ ft on to a cement parking lot, and i could not even find any surface/cosmetic damage! Everything on it works perfectly! 5 stars!
