Pentax K7

So has anyone had the chance to test it yet, or has already bought it? I had the chance to see it in Japan this July and what surprised me most was the rabid shooting mode. My K10D seems like a snail compared to that! It's also a bit smaller and lighter, but still has a nice grip to it. Not intending to upgrade my K10D yet, just wondering, how people felt about it.

I haven't seen one 'in the flesh' but I've just read a glowing review of the K7 in the October edition of Digital SLR Photography (pages 125-129) where it got a 90% mark. They seem very impressed with it but I don't think I can justify moving up from my K200D any time soon!

Its very good and a big step in the right direction for Pentax.

Catterick's Gallery here, as it's quite difficult to find on here (or maybe that's just me). There's some amazing shots, I especially like the airplane ones, the beach shot and the skateboard shot. It really does freeze the action on that one, even though it seems quite dark already.

I'd love to upgrade, but that will have to wait another year or two.
