In creating the K-7, PENTAX has achieved a fusion of its time-proven technologies for protection against harsh environments and extreme temperatures, and its exclusive skills in incorporating high-density, state-of-the-art electronic devices. Equipped with a newly developed CMOS image sensor and the advanced PRIME II imaging engine, the K-7 offers a range of sophisticated features, such as live-view shooting and movie recording, while assuring higher image-processing capacity and shorter response time to every command.
Born as a true performer, the K-7 helps discerning photographers to elevate their photographic imagination and creativity to an astonishing new level.

High-performance view finder with 100% field of view
Only when a camera captures the image exactly the way the photographer sees
it in the viewfinder can it truly be called an SLR camera.
