Anyone got a Pentax K7 yet??

Unless they get too big for themselves, this is where you can talk about the "other" brands of DSLR's: Konica Minolta / Sony, Pentax / Samsung, Olympus, Horseman, etc.

Anyone got a Pentax K7 yet??

I am interested because I have had a play with one at my local camera shop and think that a couple of them would do me better for what I shoot.
If you have one, how is the IQ and high ISO? Better than the K20d?

Most reviews I have seen have been from the pre production samples.

mine seems to expose a touch brighter but IQ seems equal.

i do think the high ISO shows a touch more noise though [1600]

shutter is heaps quieter

flash exposure seems a bit better


haven't reallly had it long enough [1500 pics] or done any testing to back up those thoughts
