14.6MP PENTAX K-7 DSLR Gets Release Date and Price!

A new 14.6 megapixel CMOS sensor has been rebuilt from the ground up to minimize noise and adds a four channel output for fast image capturing and the ability to record HD quality movies.

The magnesium alloy encased K-7 will capture video at 1280x720 resolution with a 16:9 aspect ratio (720p), 1536x1024 resolution with a 3:2 aspect ratio or 640x416 resolution with a 3:2 aspect ratio (VGA quality). All of these will be shot at 30fps.

Other features include: an HDMI port, a 3-inch Live View LCD, in-camera lens correction, shake reduction, an improved dust reduction system and a High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode, which snaps 3 pictures at once and combines them, in-camera, to widen the exposure gamut.

The PENTAX K-7 DSLR body will be released this July for an expected MSRP of $1,299.95.
