Pentax K-7 Review, Sample Photos and a Video Clip at InfoSyncWorld – Mike Perlman:
Pentax is one of the top manufacturers when it comes to image quality on the intermediate/semi-pro level, and we knew we would be capturing a few magazine quality shots here and there. At ISO 100, we experienced microscopic levels of noise, if it even existed. The new processing succeeding in reducing noise slightly, and noise is a difficult thing to stave off, especially with a high-resolution sensor. Colors were stunning, and the level of control we had over hues and tones was nearly overwhelming. The Pentax K-7 also captured images with razor sharpness, though we had to adjust the sharpness level on a few images in order to dial back the intensity. We also rarely encountered any fringing, and we achieved some of our best shots at night with awesome exposures, courtesy of a slow shutter speed.
At the end of the review are links to full-resolution sample images and one movie clip (view in HD on YouTube).
Pentax K-7 High-ISO Portraits – Endless debates on the noise of the K-7 vs K20D will probably never end, but these photos are fantastic.
Peter Jonkman says:
Coming from a humble *ist DS, K10D and K20D I do not use ISO 1600 and 3200 that often, but I’m well aware of the fact that many here think that the noise of the K-7 is bad. I beg to differ. The noise may not be less than in the K20D, but it’s definitely less obtrusive and easier to clean up in the post-processing stage.
Peter also shows an example of an ISO 3200 image after having run Noiseware noise reduction on it.
Lenses used for the portraiture were the DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL Weather Resistant kit lens and the Pentax SMCP-FA 50mm f/1.4.

Initiating video mode on the K-7, and a sample clip, by Ben Coffey – Ben says:
Steps to video is: click to Video mode, Focus, Click Shutter. I seen somewhere someone said the steps were too many because you have to press Liveview first, this is not the case.
He’s shared the following 6-second Pentax K-7 footage (the Pentax DA 15mm f/4 Limited lens was used). You can download the WMV (Windows Media, 1280×720, 5.03MB) file if you register for free at Vimeo.
K-7 opinions and sample photos by Karen – Karen used the Pentax DA 18-55mm WR and Pentax DA* 50-135mm f/2.8 SDM lenses to photograph the images that she shared in this forum post.
Her feedback on the K-7 is positive: Much quicker auto focus (even in low light) compared to the K20D, great exposure, quiet and smooth shutter and changing ISO is very quick via the use of a button.
K-7 HDR example images by Andrew Britten – Two re-sized JPEGs compare the use of the High Dynamic Range setting on the K-7 vs a normal image from the Pentax K10D.
Lens used was the Pentax DA 16-45mm f/4, and Andrew added that the the K-7’s shutter sound is very impressive.
Andrew posted another set of K-7 photos which show the differences between HDR at OFF, Setting 1 and Setting 2.
