Man what with people examining their finances with unmatched veracity and all, who can afford to buy a prosumer grade camera? Turns out Pentax is coming to your rescue with the K-7, a DSLR that crams many features found in top-shelf rigs (like the 5D Mark II) into a chassis that costs a little over a G. From reviewer Jackson Lynch:
Demonstrating that it’s serious about making a run at the top-end offerings from Canon and Nikon, the K-7 bows with a spankin’ new 14.6 megapixel, 28.1mm (diagonal) CMOS image sensor and an updated Prime II processor that enables HD-video capture, built-in high dynamic range shooting, a 77-segment metering system, pre- and post production filtering and distortion correction all in a form factor more than 10 percent smaller (and actually easier to handle) than its predecessor, the K20D.
