As much as I enjoy this, I probably should 'fess up. A friend of a friend had a K7 and kindly let me try it with my own SD card. I tired exactly what Mis. mentioned, i.e., I took a few correctly exposed shots at 1600, 3200, and 6400. I was more than satisfied in that I probably won't try anything worse than that. (I can only imagine what the Kx can do if this is what people consider unacceptable.) This being said, I hadn't realized how much the K7 was similar in form factor to the D/DS with some extra weight. I also tried some difficult exposure situations and was pleasantly surprised as how god it was. That is probably more important to me than the really high iso performance. At least for now. BTW, I think Mis and Boris both have legitimate points. One big difference is always what the shooter considers acceptable, and, as they say, there is no dispute in matters of taste.
My K7 will arrive today. Thanks for all the advice folks. I am giddy in anticipation. -- Steve Desjardins -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
