Pentax K-7 Digital SLR Review

Pentax K-7: Focus and metering
The multi-segment metering has been upgraded immensely from 16 segments to 77 on the new model. Theoretically this ensures more accurate exposures due to the higher amount of portions that are taking a reading. The camera also compensates for the composition, format (landscape or portrait) and distance of the subject by using sensors located in the camera body.

Live-view on the K20D was great when the camera was released because it was a relatively new concept on DSLRs at the time but now it looks slow and clunky. The K-7 has had a revamp in the live-view area and now has face recognition and a faster AF system which could be a godsend to current Pentax DSLR live-view users. Out of face recognition, the K-7 uses contrast detection AF.

You can also feel confident using the viewfinder as Pentax have opted for a 100% view using the traditional method. They've also added a petaprism instead of a pentamirror which gives 0.92x magnification.
