I wonder how one can draw such conclusions: * without trying the camera * seing anything else than sample (usually uninteresting whatever the brand) and a picture (of the girl) from internal Jpeg with sharpness set a -2, custom image settings set to portrait (!!) * You didn't test AF and probably you didn't read reports of quite speedier AF specially those with SDM, * Light type sensor for correcting AF (less FF/BF issue e.g. in tungsten light) * You ignore the fact that Mjpeg may mean a whole lot better quality (at the bit rate mentionned by Pentax) that Panasonic GH1 or Canon 5dii, * AF and aperture control in video (5dii where are you?) * That the 'huge' difference between 1/180 and 1/250 is a half stop (wow, huge). Btw, 5Dii is stuck at 1/200, ,
Ignoring all other features (useful or not for you): * HDR, * contrast AF /Face detection, * built-in level and auto level with SR, * dampened mirror/shutter; * fps, * copyright credits on recorded images, * completely new metering, * 100% viewfinder, * shutter certified for 100,000 actuations, * stereo sound in video using an external mic, * AA batteries possibility with grip, * etc. A lot of assumptions, never having it in your hands, don't you think? You may want a bit of a read: http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/K7/K7A.HTM I do not want you to be convinced, but your reaction now and based on those arguments is baseless IMO.
