Review on πŸ“· Pentax K-7 Body Digital Camera by Felicja Kijeska ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best purchase in my life, I will definitely buy it again.

The release of K-5 on the market, which addresses the deficiencies of the "seven," may lead many people to believe that reviews of this nature are no longer relevant in today's environment. Nevertheless, not everything can be explained so easily. Users have had access to K-7 for almost a year and a half at this point. intensively researched, double-checked, and tried out in a variety of circumstances. It is common knowledge what its strong points and weak points are. Due to the fact that it has only been available for purchase for the past three to four months, K-5 is still considered a "dark horse." It takes some time to develop an appreciation for it. After the K-5 was released, my initial reaction was one of disappointment because I was unable to get the most recent model. On the other hand, after giving it some thought, I came to the realization that the capabilities of the "seven" are more than enough for me (talent alone would be plenty!). And you continue to be incapable of keeping up with the advancements. And I think that's a wonderful thing. Also, the camera is excellent. If you show her love, respect, and at least a smidgen of inventiveness in how you interact with her, you can be certain that she will return the favor.

Pros
  • 1. A magnesium alloy body that is dustproof and waterproof, mounted on a steel chassis. 2. Exceptional quality in both the craftsmanship and the assembly. 3. Excellent ergonomics. 4. The size and weight are surprisingly low for a camera of this caliber. 5. Intuitive and well-designed menu, as well as controls located on the body. 6. A wide variety of settings that let you personalize the camera to the greatest extent possible for your needs and preferences. 7. If you have optics of a high quality and the right settings, you will produce great photographs. 8. A shutter that is very gentle and quiet. The manufacturer asserts that there were 100,000 total operations. 9. A battery with a capacity that is sufficient. 10. Good display and viewfinder. 11. "lims" and "stars" are two excellent Pentax lens series that are currently available for purchase.
Cons
  • 1. Noise starting at ISO 800 and going higher. 2. The autofocus function could be quicker. 3. There is no on/off button for the stabilizer; the setting can only be adjusted through the menu. 4. The camera that I have won't work with memory cards larger than 32 gigabytes (firmware 12022, the latest). There is no information on the maximum number of memory cards that can be used for a Pentax camera anywhere - not in the instructions, not on the website, not anywhere. 5. Finally, with regard to the arbitrary aspects, I would like a rotary display as well as a proximity sensor. 6. And these are rather shortcomings not of the camera, but of the policy and capabilities of the brand Pentax: overpriced prices for Pentax products when purchased from the official dealer, and a more modest fleet of optics and a choice of accessories in comparison to other brands' offerings.
