Pentax K-7: more interesting stuff

By PR admin | Published: May 11, 2009

This info comes from dslrmagazine (for English translation, click here). The bottom line:

  • Pentax K-7 will be the top of the line DLSR
  • it will be an APS-C camera
  • it will be able to use medium format lenses (developed for the upcoming Pentax 645) with an adapter
  • it will have a optical glass pentaprism (Hoya), upper LCD and dial to choose professional modes, with central lock
  • no built-in flash
  • it might incorporate the possibility of showing simultaneously (on the optical viewfinder) information about other functions, such as live histogram or even... Live-View and video with the mirror lockup (wow!).

    old news, the source of dslmagazine is the chinese website, I guess you should start learning spanish. He said:

    “Haciendo un poco de rumor–ficción”

    rumour – fiction / that means he knows nothing what he posted is merely speculative. Thmubs down photorumors for imisleading us

      I did include a link to the translation – this is what I used to create this post, the translation did not mention that this is rumor-fiction.

      Of course RiceHigh has better info – he/she probably has the camera :) Let’s hope Pentax won’t find out who that person is (probably under NDA), because he/she will never get another camera from them.
