I shot more images with my K7 than any DSLR before or since, and at the time I was very happy with its performance. It was a step up from the K10D it replaced and much better than slide film for what I was doing back then. Not great above ISO 400 but I was delighted to be able to get good results at ISO 400... The K5 really re-set my expectations, though.

The K-7 and I never really took to each other and I got myself one of
the first K-5 ever sold in town. I hated the K-7's Samsung sensor, the
limited dynamic range and the noise in everything shot at more than ISO 100.

Yet, when I look at some of the photos I've taken with it, they have a
special quality about them. A certain crispness, the restrained colours...

Maybe the fact that I was less lazy, in those days, and made much more
use of primes, tripods, and low ISOs also has something to do with it.

Just came across this one and thought some of you might like it:
