Upgrading to K7D

13 years 7 months ago #2603 by Jill
I currently have the K10D and I would like to upgrade to the K7D. The reviews on the K7D all look good. Does anyone have this camera, what do you think of it, do you think it is worth upgrading to or is there a better pentax upgrade?

I don't have the K-7, but am considering getting one.
A "better" camera depends on your needs. Read the reviews with your particular needs in mind.
The new K-r and K-5 certainly have some advantages over the K10D and even the K-7.
For me, the K-5 doesn't offer enough "betterness" than the K-7, considering the cost.

I moved up to the K7 from the K10D. It was quite an improvement from the capture of the pjoto, to the handling of the camera...it is smaller than the K10D. I really like the layout of the menus, and the functionality of the buttons. After having it one day, took it on a trip. It felt familiar and it allowed me to record video.

Overall, it was worthwhile for me to do so. I would recommend it as a change from the K10D.
