Not me. The K-7's sensor is excellent for most uses. It's only if you do a lot of high ISO work (which I do) or long-exposure work where it has an issue. And only the latter where the K10D is better (the K10D is completely crippled for high ISO work, the worst body Pentax made for that) Then again, I actually use dark-frame subtraction when I shoot longer exposures, so the K-7 would do fine for me. But I'm not doing the same sort as you do. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
