後味 (PENTAX K-7 MOVIE)

The Pentax does have the advantage of built-in Shake Reduction, so that any lens attached is protected against the blurring effects of hand wobble

Plus : Robuste, compact, liveview, vidéo 720p, stabilisateur, vitesse 1/8000e, mode priorité sensibilité, prise micro. Moins : Un peu lourd, autofocus lent en mode liveview, inexploitable à 6400 Iso, mode HDR peu convaincant, un peu difficile à apprivoiser.

The Pentax K-7 is the company's new flagship and as such, it comes to the market replete with great features at a reasonable price. The need for the new CMOS sensor might be something required for the new movie mode and has allowed HD quality movies to be recorded on the camera, even if there is more noise on longer exposures at higher ISO than I 'd have liked.

The camera's new kit lens is suitably sharp and benefits from the weather sealing; I used the 18-55mm kit zoom for this test and performance is very good, but in the final analysis, what we have here is a camera that is well made, provides a stunning array of features, has superb build and styling and is perfectly suited to the market into which it is pitched.

A slightly keener price might help and perhaps those long exposure noise issues can be sorted via a firmware update in the weeks/months to come?
