    From Pentax K7 review:
    # Measurably and visibly more noise than competition at high ISOs
    # More RAW noise than predecessor (but in line with competition)
    # AF speed not quite up with the fastest in class

    Noise and slow/unusable-in-low-light AF were the reasons I sold my Pentax *istDS and bought K100Ds hoping for improvement.
    Then for the same reasons I sold K100Ds and bought K10D.
    Then in the end I bought Canon 5D just to test it. Instantly after that I decided to sell K10D and all Pentax gear, looking back only on occasions like today.

    I wish them success in their struggle with noise/AF as these are fantastic cameras otherwise and I took loads of good images with them.

    • I might have said "oh fuck it" when finally decided to go Canon, don't remember - but it would suit.raf
