new pentax k-7 was revealed today
http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/K7/K7A.HTM
this thing is awesome! now features a weather resistant (WR) 18-55 kit lens and 50-200 WR kit lens in addition to the fully sealed camera and battery grip.
1024p HD video with Shake Reduction (cause it moves the sensor), contrast AF in video mode with aperture ring usable. 5DII what?
14.6MP sensor used in the K20D so now it's even better the second time around!
100% viewfinder, 77 metering zones, AF Assist light, electronic level inside the viewfinder, 900 shots to a charge, native ISO to 3200 expandable to 6400, almost silent shutter, 1/8000s top shutter speed...ahhhh too much to list
oh...all in a magnesium alloy body over a stainless steel chassis, smaller than a canon 50D. smaller than a nikon d300. wayyyy more features than a D90.
intro "street" price of $1300 (body only). the 18-55 WR lens retails for $200 but expect both prices to drop in the coming months. B&H says its coming in july.
cant wait till i can afford it!!!!
this thing is gonna kick some ***
