Chris, Wormley , “Experienced amateur”

Score 9.0/10

+ Hits a new and very sweet spot in the venn diagram of "small" "light" and "sophisticated".

- The learning curve starts easy, which is good, but then steepens and appears so high I'm not sure I'll ever reach the sunlit uplands of a plateau!

Dave, Cambridge , “Keen amateur”

Score 10.0/10

+ I previously owned a Pentax 1st. On the K7 I particularly like the large display and the rapid fire continuous focussing facility.

- Just as on other Pentax cameras (the 1st for example), it is far too easy to accidentally turn the front e-dial and change the shutter speed. I have resorted to taping it up although if I thoroughly read the manual it may well be possible to lock the speed electronically.

Kim, Wingrave

Score 9.0/10

+ Integration of ISO adjustment within mode selection. Important controls are on the body not hidden in menus. Compact and lightweight, yet robust. Fast autofocus, quiet shutter. Access to compact prime lenses. Saves RAW files in DNG format. Shake reduction built into camera body.

- Not enough notice of low battery status - indicator seems to vary between top panel and rear LCD display in live view mode..

Product Features

Camera Type	SLR
There are 2 main types of camera: The SLR and the Compact. SLR stands for Single Lens Reflex. SLR cameras use a prism to reflect the exact image as seen through the lens and so offers a more accurate viewfinder. SLR cameras have detachable lenses offering greater flexibility if you wish to take a variety of different photographs. Compact cameras have a built in lens and an ‘above lens’ viewfinder which is less accurate but they are often cheaper, more sleekly designed and easier to carry anywhere with you to capture that moment perfectly without having to fiddle with complex settings or a bag full of lenses.
resolution (Megapixel)	14.6

Screen Size in Inches	3
Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner.
Face Recognition	Face Detection
A function for automatically detecting peoples faces and correctly adjusting the focus and exposure to take the best photo
Image Stabilisation	Optical Image Stabiliser
If a photo is taken at a slow shutter speed, or at a long focal length, the effects of ‘hand shake’ will be amplified. Some cameras come with built-in image stabilisation which is designed to act against this to produce sharper images. It’s great for low light shots without a tripod, like at a gig.
PictBridge	No
An industry standard allowing images to be printed from camera to printer, without needing a computer. CIPA PictBridge Standard Website
Weight (g)	670
The weight of the product in grams.
Flash	Yes
Whether or not your camera has an in-built flash. Flashes are essential for fully capturing a low light image.
Longest Shutter Speed	30
This is the longest exposure your camera will take. The longer you take a photo for, the more light is let in and the more motion is captured. Long shutter speeds can give fantastic, artistic results. Try photographing the night sky at 30s or longer to see how the rotation of the Earth causes the stars to curve through the scene.
WiFi	No
Wifi allows you to connect your device to wireless routers or modems which allows you to connect to broadband internet.
