Pentax K7 voted readers choice camera 2009 by Adorama Learning Center Readers, and won by a landslide.
Pentax K-7 dSLR
Over 55% (1524 out of 2746) of Adorama Learning Center Readers thought that Pentax K7 deserves to be Readers Choice Camera for 2009. Here is an excerpt with their opinions:
"While we're not particularly surprised that the K-7 won, the margin of victory bowled us over. Apparently, even though it's not made by one of the "Big Two" camera companies, the K-7's combination of groundbreaking features, lower price, and legacy of high-quality optics put it over the top. In other words, price/performance trumped the money's-no-object technical wonders on one end of the spectrum, and price-busters on the other."
The interesting stuff is that other cameras that were in the competition were:
  • Leica M9
  • Olympus E-P1
  • Canon EOS 7D
  • Nikon D3s
  • Casio Exilim EX-FS10
  • Panasonic GH1
  • Sony A850

Digital Photography at this day and age is very much technical, and given the amount of books, websites and other tu...
