I am going to really throw a curve at you. The Pentax K20D and the new K7 are excellent cameras with tons of innovative features for a fantastic price. I must agree witht the one post about the "kit" lenses, not always the best choice. I have been using a K10D for 2 years now and love it. If you want to check out some user pics go to www.pentaxphotogallery.com My shots are under "artist" Kevin Demers
If i can answer any questions, just let me know

The Pentax K7 is indeed a DSLR. No, I do not have any "good" shots of my tank as I bought the camera after I took down the tank for a move. yes I did do some post processing on some of the pics with Adobe Lightroom 2, but only a few things like noise reduction and clarity adjustments. It doesn't matter what you do to the shots in a post processing software app, you have to have a good base image or you are sunk. Lightroom and those kind of apps are not miracle producers. Let me know if I can help out anymore.

Pentax K-7 Review, October 2009 Overall conclusion Highly Recommended While the Pentax K-7's predecessor, the K20D, was clearly a competent camera it was never quite up there, either in terms of performance nor from a specification point of view, with the established semi-pro models such as the Canon EOS 40/50D or the Nikon D300. However, with the K-7, Pentax has clearly upped its game and the new model is in many respects on eye level with the competition's enthusiast offerings. Conclusion - Pros At base ISO detailed output that makes good use of the camera's 14.6 megapixel resolution Good JPEG and RAW resolution Semi-pro features and build quality in a compact body Magnesium/steel body with environmental seals Good selection of external controls Comfortable grip and generally well-designed ergonomics Responsive overall performance Reliable flash performance Good quality HD video recording (but hardly any manual control) Improved continuous shooting (but still slower than D300 or EOS 50D) Decent kit lens with environmental seals Excellent high resolution screen with fine-tunable color 100% viewfinder coverage Extensive white balance options User-definable Auto ISO Multi-segment metering can be linked to AF-point Shutter & Aperture Priority Exposure (TAv mode) Distortion and chromatic aberration correction for DA and DFA lenses (also available in RAW conversion when using supplied software) Adjustable dynamic range highlight and shadow correction Three-shot in-camera HDR capture External microphone socket Good battery life (but you don't get too much warning before power runs out) Electronic level indicator Composition adjustment (Uses the SR system to reposition the sensor to fine-tune composition) In-camera RAW conversion tool Alternative focusing screens available Extensive in-camera image adjustment options Very good bundled RAW converter (based on SilkyPix) Conclusion - Cons Measurably and visibly more noise than competition at high ISOs (JPEG) More RAW noise than predecessor (but in line with competition) AF speed not quite up with the fastest in class Less dynamic range than direct competitors No 'interactive' status display for easy change of parameters HDR and a range of other features only available in JPEG mode Slightly fiddly SD-card slot Contrast detect AF so slow it's useless for most types of photography (not much different on the competitors though) Automatic aperture control in movie mode can cause extreme exposure jumps and audible click sounds in the recording (fix the aperture to avoid this) Last edited by RuGlu6; 01-02-2010 at 08:53 PM.
