    Pentax K-7 image samples...

    ...are now up on the WDC site here.

    They're from a late pre-production sample of the camera so they're just a guide but interesting nonetheless.

    I can't tell anything from thumbnail images but I wish Pentax well. The specification looks good and, while I don't use a Pentax, Asahi was so significant in my youth that I wouldn't want anything less than it doing well.

    If you click on the main image, and click again, you get the full size file which you can download.
    Clicking on the thumbs changes the main image.

    I feel the same way, I hope it succeeds!

    You can click upon the individual images to download them at the full size of 14.5MP.

    Without knowing what lenses were used or how they have been saved - low quality JPG or what, it's difficult to draw too many conclusions, however they don't look as sharp or as contrasty as full screen RAW conversions from the 12.5MP 5D mark 1. I think that we will have to wait for the full test in order to know what it is capable of.

    Thanks Nigel, I thought I'd tried that but as I'm away from home on a slow connection I guess I was too impatient.

    Just got the American Photo and they've given the K7 the joint editors choice award, along with the Nikon D90, in the Advanced DSLR category.

    I can't help wondering how useful the ability to move the sensor to improve composition (if I've read that right) will be.

    Anyone ready for the usual bought of anti Pentax paranoia when the review omes out?
