Seems like the AF is really much improved.

wow....all the features I want less the WB is there.
I would have liked a WB button for quick adjustment because I find I needed to adjust that the most for my K200D. But of coursde, if the new auto WB is accurate enough, then that button is moot.
There are 2 cures for my BBB virus..buying the camera and its price.
I prefer not to spend more than $1.3K but from the looks of it, my prediction is the local pricing would be in the range of $1.8K with the 18-55 WR kit lens.
by the way dnaxe, you still straddling on the fence? Forget the neighbours! pentax's grass is green enough!

Shoot RAW
1.8 is optimistic i suspect :cry:

Decided that a D700 kit was too expensive and heavy...
Good things come to those who wait...
Sigh. Now to make myself wait more! Must wait a generation! I resisted the K10D!
things sure do look good...hope K-7 will help Pentax win more followers...
sure? don't bluff children...give me a best deal guarantee and I'll grab...lolNow who's gonna take my K20D? You'll sure get the best deal in town

I was waiting for the K-7 to come out so that I can buy cheap K20D that people will sell... now end up I feel tempted to buy K-7 also...
No pentaxian is spared from this temptation.I was waiting for the K-7 to come out so that I can buy cheap K20D that people will sell... now end up I feel tempted to buy K-7 also...

Certainly a good year for Pentax in Singapore!
New and HIGHLY improved specs,
New and much more active distributor who does it's homework! :thumbsup:

Guys, guys, guys.. don't mean to be pedantic, but it is the Pentax K-7.
With hyphen, no "D".
Anyway, I'm sure there will be reviews (esp at dpreview) comparing it to the D300 and 50D and others in same bracket. (Hey, without the "D", it does seem even more different from the numerous confusing "D" models of C & N, haha!)
Fellas...you are getting this waaaaaaaay wrong!
The K7 is not poison...it is the antidote! Like the flu jab, everyone should get it to fight the BBB virus!
The K7 kit is selling for US$1299 in the US, hence there is still hope it will sell for around S$1600-$1800..while above my budget, should satisfy most K20D upgraders...
btw, one of the retailers on Amazon claims to have 2 units in stock...pretty amazing if they are still available judging from the pent-up demand from dpreview.
