New Pentax K7 full-size JPEG/RAW pictures (pre-production)

Drip, drip, drip! It's the K7 information drip! Right now, we have two sets of new pictures.

First up, Photography Blog has 15 full-size real world samples, taken with a pre-production camera, but available as full-size JPEGs but also RAW (PEF) which is great for those who want to see what they can make out of the RAW files themselves! Let the pixel-peeping games begin!

Also available is a 13-second video clip, which is available at full-res through Vimeo. 13-seconds but 73MB. After that, you can't complain that RAW files take too much space ;-)

Next up, Rice High spotlights more samples from China.

For past, present and future K7 coverage here, be sure to check the K7 mini-blog. And you may also notice, (at the prompting of one of our readers), we added the K7 to the list of "hot cameras" at the top of each blog page. This is the 2nd line after the blog title, the one with green font and light-blue background.

The K7 is available for pre-ordering for $1300 at Amazon and Adorama. There are no hard shipping estimates yet.
