Info : Pentax K-7

It has been around a month after Pentax launched their new semi-pro DSLR know as K-7 on May 21, 2009. It is the first Pentax DSLR to have a magnesium-alloy body making it smaller than the K20D it replaces, while still offering reassuring build quality. The body is weather sealed and features a 920,000 dot LCD and 100% viewfinder and the ability to shoot 720p HD movies. Like the models before it, the K-7 has image stabilization built into the body, stabilizing all lenses. It offers the high level of exterior control you'd expect on a camera at this level and its operation can be customized to a high degree.

Here are some new additional features added in this K-7
• 720p/1080i HD video recording
• Smaller magnesium/steel alloy body
• Revised viewfinder (less magnified but with greater coverage)
• Updated sensor with four-channel readout
• 3.0" VGA (920,000 dot) LCD
• New shutter mechanism with 1/8000th shutter speed
• Faster continuous shooting (up to 5.2 fps)
• 77 segment exposure metering sensor
• Revised autofocus algorithms
• AF illumination lamp
• New dust removal system
• HDMI output
• New dedicated ISO button
• Adjustable dynamic range highlight and shadow correction
• Three-shot in-camera HDR capture
• Electronic level indicator
• Composition adjustment (Uses the SR system to reposition the sensor to fine-tune composition)
• Distortion and chromatic aberration correction for DA and DFA lenses (also available in RAW conversion)

What I really likes about the features are in body distortion and CA correction, electronic level indicator, AF assist lamp, 3" VGA 9200000 dots LCD, HD video recording and 100% coverage of viewfinder. Other than that, I am not really interested.

The body design is more to entry level design with some missing button and I dont really like the design and the smaller size. I more prefer the larger size with solid build and higher density.
