The D-BG4 can adapt also 4(?) x AA Lithiums (at 1.5V each) in addition to the 6 x AA rechargeables (NiMH, at 1.2V each)? As far as I can see from those official published specs so far , it is only told that NiMH rechargeables are supported. So, as seen from the above photo, it is really a good news! AA Lithium batteries have two main advantages over NiMH ones: 1. They are much lighter and weight can be saved nearly by half per cell, especially consider only 4 lithium AAs are required instead of 6 NiMHs, obviously it is just a big advantage! And, 2. Those AA Lithiums are much more cold-resistant, that would be a perfect match with the cold-resistant K-7 when the camera is really used under cold conditions.
The same poster has also posted some show girl photos taken with various different lenses and the K-7:-

thanks RH, but i think these Pentax labels on women models look ugly. they had to think of another way of showing that these are pentax girls..
ReplyDeleteI think the stickers are just not sticky enough.

Oh My God! they sliced a FA 31mm limited... Isn't that a crime?
ReplyDeleteActually I was wrong: it was shot by a FA 31, and the sliced lens one of the new WR kit lens.
ReplyDeleteHey Ricey
ReplyDeleteThanks for the links to the cutaway photos of the K-7 showing the internal layout
I have to say that in spite of all the reassurances from the Pentax execs and tech guys, looking at the internals I don't think the camera seems terribly 'minaturised' to me
I'm frightened to think what those Canon/Nikon bricks like the 50D must look like on the inside in terms of wasted-space!
