Pentax K-7 Review at Let’s Go Digital: “A Joy to Work With”

So you’re looking for the best value in a prosumer level digital SLR camera. I personally suggest you start that search with the Pentax K-7. If you go purely on feature lists and then compare prices with its two likely competitors, the Nikon D300s and the Canon EOS 7D, the K-7 looks like a very good deal. It may not offer the same level of pure performance, but it does sport some solid build, compact size, HD video, and very good image quality. Lens selection is something you’ll need to investigate before purchasing, but if you tend to like prime lenses and a system that packs small, the K-7 is your camera. Feedback on the K-7 has been really solid, today’s review is via Let’s Go Digital:

There is no other camera in this class that offers the same level of control on how a picture will turn out, as the Pentax K-7. As a user, you are really in charge of the camera and of how the end result turns out. Within the limits of technology that is, because you have no control over the sensor quality. In itself, the sensor is fine, although not groundbreaking. Up to ISO 1600 can be used without a problem, at higher ISOs, however, the quality drops quickly. I have seen better on its generation buddies.
