My K-50 died a while back and don't really want to fix it for now, being that I use my trusty Oly E-3 I'm not afraid to use a older camera is the K-7 worth buying so I can use my fine Pentax lenses until I can afford a K-3 in the late spring?

If I am correct K7 was one generation before K50. Thus, it may be a little downgrade in especially in terms of high ISO capability.

But if you can live with it K7 is a great camera.

I just opened a thread where I show photos I took with K10D (the gradpa of your K7) 8 years ago. I did some post-processing on them with the latest version of ON1.

I opened the thread as I was surprised what's in these photos if you open them in a modern program for post-processing. That days I used DxO which was a great programm (and still is) - but the RAW quality of K10D was simply great.

Best regards
