RE: Interesting K7 review
I rarely enter the OS debates (being Catholic I already have a religion) but I currently own a MacBook and a Dell laptop. I inherited the MacBook when my daughter went off to Africa. I use the MacBook on a regular basis as my home computer. It's a good machine, but it's just no light-years ahead of the Windows system. They both work fine and neither freeze.

I always keep my K20D set +0.7 as standard (that's good for shooting RAW keeping histogram 'to the right'). That native -0.7 EV to compensate for is probably a conservative setting for JPEG shooters. The K-7 I've tested was better set to +0.3 instead of +0.7 of the K20D. So it can be said that the K-7 overexposes upon the K20D, which in my opinion underexposes.

Interesting review. I did notice that he seems to be complaining about how much detail the sensor can capture, when he complains about how critical focus has to be because of the sensor's resolution. The fix for this is simple just down res the captured image. It will /look/ sharper. Mark Roberts wrote: http://www.naturephotographers.net/articles0909/cb0909-1.html -- The free man owns himself.
