Description of 📷 Pentax K-7 Body Digital Camera
- Everything: reliability, speed, resource, efficiency, compactness, the kit set is an order of magnitude ahead of everyone in terms of the quality of the result. Stabilizer. Price. Dust and moisture resistance. For dummies, the only setting is a green rectangle and go.
- No. All the same, Pentax is the Japanese defense industry, science and medicine.
- Autofocus that is sufficiently dependable and colors that are vibrant even when the lighting is poor. Menu and control options that are very easy to utilize. After a couple of days of using it, you will become accustomed to it.
- The quality of the kit lens 18-55 is not particularly high. Nevertheless, dustproof.
- 1. The capacity to use optics that do not have autofocus, all the way up to very old Soviet lenses. 2. The overall high standard of the Pentax camera. 3. A magnesium chassis that is not only compact but also easy to use and waterproof. 4. The viewfinder is excellent, and it is made even better by the viewfinder magnifier that comes with the Pentax O-ME 53. 5. Pentax has Lim series lenses. 6. Kit lenses of a high quality, with the added bonus of being available in waterproof configurations. 7. The top display is illuminated from behind.
- 1. Service, service, and more service. 2. A significant number of assembly flaws. 3. As a result of the dealer's monopoly, the price in 2022 is artificially inflated and unreasonable. 4. There are very few optics made by third parties.
- construction standards for the hull improvement over the K200 I used before upgrading to the K7. the option to switch lenses, a bright display, a rechargeable power pack, and an ergonomic design.
- What Japanese idiot came up with the idea of locking the mode wheel? Autofocus live view with some consideration
- 1) After K10D, sky and earth AF speed and accuracy, especially in low light (the green backlight also helps). Although the AF speed is slower in AF-C mode (only 2-3 fps as opposed to 5 fps), it nearly does not smear. 2) It found out that the camera was light (it feels much lighter in the hands than the K10D) 3) Ergonomics almost entirely without problems (but you still need to get used to it) 4) The video is of excellent quality, and the audio is excellent (especially if the camera is dustproof) 5) All-weather, frost resistance, dust and moisture protection (Pentax trademark), with DA* series lenses and new WR kits 6) The job is moving along at a commendably rapid pace. 7) Construction quality that "you can't dig in with all your will" (remember the magnesium casing) 8) It's hard to think that engineers were able to fit so many important things into such small spaces. 9) While shooting handheld video without jerks, the image stabilizer is very effective (4 steps is not the maximum). 10) "Pentax"-branded colors (I never had Photoshop) 11) Exposure metering is incredible (faces are not overexposed in 99% of circumstances). 12) auto BB is superior to K10D, on a strong 4. (sometimes it "warms" indoors, but there are a lot of BB settings) 13) screen versus K10D, once more, heaven and earth: viewing angles, colors, and detail are all excellent. 14) The battery has a large capacity; two of the three battery divisions are still usable after 1200 frames and viewing the resulting screen. 15) A normal battery and six AA batteries are used to power the buttblock. 16) TOTALLY deactivate the noise reduction (instead of soap we have all the details, and noise can be removed even with the built-in noise reduction, even in post-processing) 17) Viewfinder at 100% 19) The level of the horizon will be helpful when shooting landscapes, and the stub will correct the weak slope. 1/8000 shutter, 100k actuations. 20) For lenses from the DA series, distortion and XA can be automatically corrected.
- 1) It takes some getting used to picking focus points by pressing the arrows without placing your finger on the OK button; 2) there are occasionally issues with the operation of extreme AF points.
- 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.
- 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.
- I really don't have anything to contribute to this review. ochen13 The new menu was a huge hit. You no longer have to dig through the menus to find the settings for modifying things like the image format, quality, and primary parameters. Shutter and mirror movement is so smooth that even the slightest trembling of the hand is imperceptible. The video's high quality was impressive, but its large file size was a downside. It is compatible with all non-autofocus threaded lenses, just like prior Pentax models. The stabilizer does its job, and the automation is bug-free (you only need to set the focal length)
- The price of my camera is listed in 2022 and the instructions are written in Japanese.
