Awesome! That is just the stuff I wanted to hear! I've read that the AF is REALLY slow during the Live Preview mode, how have you found it? Not that it's a big issue for me as I haven't EVER had a camera with LP and it is just another battery sucking thing anyways...
I am excited at the prospect of having rechargeable batteries! My conscience is really starting to get to me when I stop to consider just how many AAs I have thrown out over the years. I do have rechargeables, but never can seem to find the charger when I need it! Any feedback on the video capabilities? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of P N Stenquist Sent: Sunday, 10 January 2010 1:11 AM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: A K7D for Fairygirl (Was Re: Fairygirl is in the house!) Hi Tanya, I've been shooting with K7 for almost six months now, and I've clocked 9950 exposures. I love it. The K20D was nice, but the K7 is a major improvement. First on my list of pluses would be far better exposure metering. It's very accurate and delivers repeatable results -- something my K20D could never quite achieve. The autofocus is noticeably faster, particularly on moving objects. That's also a huge plus for me. And the increased frame rate is a big help for a lot of what I shoot: moving vehicles, sports, etc. With that comes faster write speed, which cuts down on waiting until mr. camera is ready to work. Heck, I can't remember ever having to wait with the K7. With the K20D, when I shot a series of autobracket exposures, I'd stand there waiting for the ready light to come back on. The battery life is much better. Even without the grip you can get around 1000 RAW exposures. I have a grip installed and always shoot with two batteries. I've never come close to exhausting them, even in a long day of continuous shooting. Finally, the build quality is superb. The camera is a little tank.
