The Pentax K-7 is a DSLR that works as hard as you do, and it will do it in almost any conditions. The camera chassis is made of high-rigidity stainless-steel alloy and its housing is made of durable but lightweight magnesium-steel alloy so it can handle all you dish out, while letting you travel light. The body is protected by 77 seals to keep out moisture and dust and make for an operational range down to -10°C. If some dust does happen to get in during lens changes, the advanced sensor coating and dust removal system will take care of it before you take a shot.
Over the last 60 years of producing cameras Pentax has made over 24 million lenses and all of them will work with the K-7. Of course, the older screw mount lenses will require an adapter. So use one of the new specially designed for digital lenses or pull out an old favorite.
The K-7 has a 14.6MP sensor for spectacularly detailed images. The sensor is integrated into a Shake Reduction system that is so effective you can increase your handheld shooting by up to 4 stops. A LiveView LCD screen on the back lets you see what the lens sees without having to have use the eyepiece. When you are ready to take your photography to the next level, Pentax will be waiting.

High-quality Image ReproductionThe redesigned 14.6 megapixel CMOS sensor offers improved noise control, four-channel output for faster image capture and movie capture capabilities. Plus the new sensor offers the ideal combination of resolution and file size, allowing for poster-size and larger prints and cropping flexibility.
New PRIME II Image processing engineFast 5.2 frame-per-second shooting with the powerful PRIME II Image processing engine! The new image engine features fast circuitry and low noise image processing, offering greater data-processing speed and produces better-quality images with richer gradation and more accurate color rendition. It also offers high-speed movie data transmission.
Compact, Durable Body with Dustproof, Weather- and Cold-resistant ConstructionOne of the smallest DSLRs in its class, the K-7’s compact, magnesium alloy body lets you travel light while still maintaining durability and build quality. With 77 special seals applied to the body, the K-7 is weather, dust and cold resistant to 14° F or -10° C, making it ideal for use in any environment.
Shake Reduction TechnologyIntegrated into the camera body and independent of the lens in use, the Pentax-developed shake reduction system detects camera movement and moves a free-floating image sensor to compensate for any shake. The result is sharp, blur-free images even under demanding shooting conditions.
Live View Capable 3.0-inch LCD and High-precision ViewfinderPhoto composition and image viewing at more extreme angles has become easier with the large, 2.7-inch LCD monitor that offers a wide 170° viewing angle and live view capabilities. In addition, the Pentax K-7's pentaprism viewfinder offers a 100% field of view and 0.92X magnification, providing a handy alternative in bright lighting or low power conditions.
HD Movie CaptureThe K-7 vividly captures moving memories at sizes up to 1280 x 720 pixels and at 16:9 high-definition TV proportions.
