First (physical) Impressions


It’s very compact, much smaller than my Canon 40D. It feels good to handle, though, just like my old K1000. Actually, it is about the same height and width as the K1000, though a lot deeper to accommodate all the electronics and the battery. A similarity I wasn’t expecting is the filter size of the 50-200 lens: at 49mm it’s the same as the 50mm f1.7 standard lens on the K1000. More about the use of that lens later...

You can read a good, in-depth review here http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/Pentaxk7 so I won’t spell everything out – just comment on features that stand out as I start to use the camera.
