Well I am glad that my NOISE post is still alive. It is bad that Pentax did not make a better sensor for the K7. If they could do it in the KX, why not the K7. I guess the money issue (make more money with the K7 first and then bring out the KX and by this time most people have already bought the K7 and so now they will buy the KX. I have been reading the posts about the noise with the K7, with my K7 even at 100 iso, the noise is bad. Like I stated before that some of my photos were not used because of the noise. I have been fooling with Neat Image Pro and the noise filter in Photoshop and also the noise filter by Topaz. Topaz takes the longest to filter the noise.. My results have been pretty good but like someone else on the list said this is just an extra step. About buying Nikon gear, I do have a couple bodies but they are not new. The D1x is a very good body with very nice color and low noise. Also this body will sync at up to 500th of a second with any flash. I guess if I did not have so much money in Pentax glass, I would switch maybe. I have shot with Pentax gear since about 1975. I have used the Pentax gear to photograph US Presidents, major league sports, NHRA and IHRA Drag racing. News events, Spot news and just about anything a photojournalist would shoot. Even when I worked for the newspaper, I used my Pentax gear instead of the company Nikon gear. I had better glass. When newspapers were switching to digital, first we had the big Kodak DCS/Nikon bodies. Since Pentax never released the first digital body that they showed at the camera shows, I was forced to use the Kodak DCS/Nikon bodies, Next we went to the Nikon D1 bodies which was 2.7 Megs. It would shoot five frames per second and would sync at up to 500th. of a second, but color was always a killer, meant more time on the computer. At that time I bought some nikon gear and glass. But I still shot with my Pentax film bodies when I had the chance. So in ending my longest post on the list, I do hope Pentax will bring out a nice killer body with very very good low light.

If she's shooting kids in dimly lit interiors, she needs lights. No need to compromise in either case.
