Overview

The Pentax K-7 is a semi-professional DSLR built around a 14.6-megapixel CMOS sensor and housed in a compact magnesium alloy body that is weather resistant, dustproof, and coldproof down to 14°F. Designed for photographers who need a reliable camera in challenging conditions, the K-7 combines a rugged exterior with serious performance features including a top shutter speed of 1/8000 second and continuous shooting at 5.2 frames per second, powered by the PRIME II image processing engine. The 3-inch rear LCD supports Live View with contrast-detect autofocus, Face Detection, and optional histogram, grid, and bright/dark area overlays to assist with composition and exposure.

As a body-only unit, the K-7 is compatible with the extensive Pentax K-mount lens system, giving photographers access to decades of glass. It captures images to SD/SDHC memory cards and offers 720p HD video recording. The combination of weather sealing, fast shooting speed, and a compact form factor makes the K-7 a capable tool for outdoor, travel, and action photography where dependability matters as much as image quality.
