Hi,

compared the K-7 I test with my most trusted bubble level. Horizontally it's about one unit off, i.e. when the bubble sits in the middle, K-7 wants me to rotate a camera a bit counterclockwise. Vertical position is even more inaccurate (2-3 units)

BR, Margus

You should use a bubble level to test it accurately. Flat and level is not necessarily flat and level.

Mine's off too. It leans to the right - one whole bar on the scale.

This shows up when I put the camera base on a flat and level surface and if
I align the grid on live view to a horizontal plane.

I'll have to think about whether it's worth taking it back or just living
with it.

The only other gripe so far is that the SD card is fiddly to extract - the door gets in the way when gripping the card. Perhaps it needs a magic needle
system...

Otherwise, I'm very happy with it from its first day of shooting though.
I'll post some pictures soon.

Chris

Mine is a good degree off. Way too much.
