Pentax K-7 Digital SLR Camera Officially Released
Pentax Imaging Company has officially unveiled the much anticipated Pentax K-7 Digital SLR. Many leaked photos were coming out the past days but apparently this is the real deal.
Pentax has been known to come out with great performing cameras and this new DSLR camera should be something worth checking out.
The PENTAX K-7 features a rugged, yet compact new body design, a new 14.6 megapixel CMOS sensor rebuilt from the ground up, and advanced features such as HD Movie Capture and new, unique-to-PENTAX camera controls. Compatible with every PENTAX lens ever made, the high-end K-7 features an abundance of long-anticipated new and improved features that are exclusive to the camera and combine to make it a tremendous photography tool.
Along with the body, PENTAX announced a D-BG4 battery grip for exclusive use with the PENTAX K-7 and two weather-resistant lens models developed specifically for PENTAX digital SLRs. The smc DA 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL WR and the smc DA 50-200mm F4-5.6 ED WR kit lenses feature weather-resistant seals to handle damp, inclement conditions.
The PENTAX K-7 body only will ship in July 2009 for $1,299.95. The PENTAX D-BG4 battery grip will be priced at $229.95, and the lenses will be priced at $199.95. These products also will ship in July 2009.
Lets just hope Pentax doesn’t offer a rebate deal soon. They have the knack for doing that, forcing potential consumers to buy their cameras right on their very release.
