For continuous shots, it can take go up to 5.21 frames per second with its 1/8000 shutter speed. This baby won’t even die on you after over 700 shots cause of its custom Li-Ion battery.
K-7 has indeed proved that Pentax has taken its evolution to a double pace to the right direction. Release date has been said to be July 2009 at the best price being aroudn US$1300.
