DSLR – Pentax Body

I have just received the latest issue of Digital Camera magazine (UK) via my subscription, so it should hit the shops in a few days. In New Gear section there is an interesting review of Pentax K-7. The Pentax is praised for its features, noise levels, skin tones in the photos, metering and handling. All together it was rated at 87%, which is not bad (only the price is too high) as you can rarely see any ratings higher than 90%. The scoring was:

1. Features – 5 stars
2. Performance – 4 stars
3. Handing – 4 stars
4. Build quality – 4 stars
5. Value for money – 4 stars.

This was of course based on pre-production model. As Pentax has just confirmed that they will be changing the sensor in the final product, we can expect pretty capable camera. Excited?
