Needing a second digital Pentax body that would fit and use my existing lenses I was advised to keep an eye out for a K7 which I did. It is a super step u p and was originally aimed at the professional market with lots of great programs and multiple image adjustments which enable you to get the shot you want when you take it, rather that after spending an hour on the computer 'fiddling'. I am glad I bought one as it is now my 'go-to' body when going out leaving my other Pentax and Canon cameras at home. Great design and very easy to hold, even one-handed. If you want a bit more freedom look for a wrist strap that fits aroud your hand and enables you to use the camera whilst on the move, not always easy with a neck strap. OK not the highest image quality available, but unless you want to print massive images [or do some serious cropping of your photos] then this is more than ample. From experience I would always recommend looking for a lens that will do the job you want it to do, rather than a body that will utilise lenses that are probably the reason you are looking for a new body anyway! The battery packs hold up well under some serious usage and I have never run out of power on a week long holiday with 3 batteries. Even some of the non OEM batteries work really well, but check th ereviews as there are some that are a total waste of time!Read full review

A very good Camera that helps one to go to another level of photo taking. Full of features that at first are a bit difficult to get used to but once mastered, they become easy to use. Having had another 3 other Pentax cameras, one can see a big improvement done to the brand. Only slightly minus point is the metering / exposure system which in general is not spot on, hence one would need further work on the pictures for excellent results to be achieved. In general a very good camera which I would recommend. Pity Pentax Lenses cost so much since if these are used with the camera the results would be much better.
Awesome camera....built like a tank yet economical in size with enough megapixels and features for any need. Easy to set up and handles superbly well. Picture quality and lenses from Pentax are as good as any. Camera just gets out of the way and lets you be creative as any good camera should. WR lenses adds to a package that is perfect for outdoor/nature photography. Highly recommended.

Fantastic camera and picture quality very good , but not a great jump from Previous camera Samsung Gx10. Video not as good as expected (manual focus) - Sony NEX 5 I have is much better For videoing.
Excellent camera as an upgrade for the pro level features. And equally good as a 1st camera if you are serious about taking good pictures. This was my go to shooter for a number of years and it never let me down.
