Exactly my thoughts too. I added quite a few thousand actuations to the
K7 before replacing it with the K5 which allows practical TAV mode with
its improved sensor. The new owner of the K7 happily shoots almost
exclusively in the Kruger Park where there never seems to be a problem
with light. T
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 resul

Ah, the famous adhesive bubbles on the display problem. I had one from
the very first batch and eventually git to K-5 number 4 or 5 before the
trouble ended. Still,
I moved from a K10D to a K-7, and was very happy (for a time) with the
sensitivity of the sensor. I also liked the appearance of the photos.
When the K-5 came out, I waited a year for the bugs to get squashed, and then
got one. I’m still using it happily.

I used my K20D longer I think. While I didn't find the noise
particularly objectionable at what for the K20D middle ISOs, just a tad
over that, or if the image was just a bit under exposed, the noise
looked a lot less grain like and much more like a regular pattern,
almost banding, that was an
I used a K7 (ex Mark Cassino) for 5 years until I upgraded to his K5.
The K7 sensor is poor in low light & noisy above ISO400 but I found that
used within its limitations it could give excellent results. TAV mode
was useless with the ISO difficulty. The K5 solved that problem & so far
I am very
That's lovely light, Ralf. A fine shot.
The K-7 was the immediate successor to the K20D, with a very similar
(but updated) CMOS sensor. I was very fond of my K20D and shot with it
for a good seven years. I really loved the rather filmic look to the
images -- I don't have the same issue with grain/
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
