PENTAX K7 Sales Pitch in the shower!

[player1CR]

that was poor :)

[aliasguy2000]

I'd love to see you soaking wet a bit more:P handsome man

[kaznW]

Just got my Pentax K7 through da post!

[DoctorInferno]

That is not submerged. -.-

[BlinkPhotoGalleries]

Really enjoyed watching your video. I subscribed to your channel. If you get the chance, please do the same to mine. Thanks!

[biped19]

Pentax K-5 is a great camera. Unfortunately, it is ridiculously overpriced. The price should be what the K-7 was. Now it is off the table as my k-x upgrade. Too bad Pentax.

[xmeda]

I showered K20D + DA18-55WR few times, but I noticed mysty foggy droplets inside lens. So I DO NOT recommend doing that for fun and I DO recommend to put camera with lens into dry-box after. Seriously.

[Rohhaut]

All the time I take a shower with my Lumix G2 I think "If I only had a Pentax!" Love this vid, love the idea behind it... I promise: Next year I will buy a Pentax. (Anybody looking for a Panny G2 , second hand!?)

[Dreadfultime]

lol, this guy is funny

[advhere]

That is crap , want to see a real test , cheeck out the canon 400d vs nikond90 ,cameras that cost under a 1000 dolars and then will tak.pacalicilor

[optimistsRUS]

@advhere

LOL, you are trying to compare a 400d with Pentax K7? Even the cheap K-r or the older K-x are better than the latest and more expensive Canon Rebel or Nikon entry-level nonsense.

[advhere]

@optimistsRUS U realy are serios about this? If u where smart u would watch the video and see what i am talking about .

[optimistsRUS]

@advhere

I think you don't know what you are talking about. K7 also costs under $1000. I have watched the video which is very clear but your message was not clear.

[advhere]

@optimistsRUS Then erase the video and make one that shows us that your camera is a tank like 400d (i have a sony camera not a Canon)

[optimistsRUS]

@advhere

What are you saying? 400d is built like a tank? Canon Rebels are the most plasticky cameras you can find. Sony SLRs are much better build-wise and specs-wise. Sony (Konica-Minolta), Pentax, Olympus provide better features than Canikon for less money.

[ashtonwentworth1]

Your right they don't make sensors they design their sensors and have Sony make them.

[OrangeBassify]

Youtubes Barry Sott!

[ashtonwentworth1]

pentax makes great sensors but not that great of glass and the glass is the most important, you can have a great sensor and a bad lens and the photos wont be very good, nikon makes great sensors and amazing lenses.

[Arska6]

@ashtonwentworth1 Wrong. The K-7 image sensor was made in Samsung like the Pentax K20D. Pentax K-5 and K-x(r) sensors are also made in Sony, like older ones K100D and K10D and of course, all Nikon dslr's image sensors.

[couscousdelight]

@ashtonwentworth1

@ashtonwentworth1

Pentax did not build quality lenses ? I think you have no idea of what you are talking about...

Luminous landscape isn't a pro Pentax site.But they say than FA 31 F1.8 is one of the greatest lens ever made, and they are many more awesome quality lens made by Pentax.

and Pentax / Nikon didn't build the sensor, Sony did... in fact they use the same sensors...

[candyspan]

@Nikon doesn't make sensors! LOL

[maximumdosile]

BAHAHAHAHAHA

[helsfury]

This is an amazing DLSR that captures stunningly exquisite images. My upgrade will be the K5 , hands down. As you can see, I'm hooked on Pentax. Has nothing to do with this video. I bought it, I use it, I've been stunned by its image quality, awed by its ability to handle adverse weather conditions, extremely pleased by it's high quality build and blown away by Pentax DA star line of lenses.

[helsfury]

I shoot with a Pentax K7, It's easily the best DSLR out there in its price range.

I've captured stunning images with this camera. Nikon and Canon can take a hike.

The Pentax glass is nothing short of , amazing. This video is no joke. The K7 is built like a tank and yes I've been rained on and I'm talking torrential down-pour here. Once you get used to the feel of the K7, every other DSLR in its category feels cheap. It has an elegant, high quality feel.

[marcinnsz]

Too short in the shower. For a real rain (strong rain) would prefer not to try keep long time..

[connaultnicolas]

@marcinnsz

I agree, it's not a valid test of weather-proofness. Sometimes it just starts pouring down and you want to know that it's safe to keep shooting for a few more minutes, not just 5 seconds :)

[LZmiljoona]

You are my man.

Sry, I had to watch and comment again, it's just hilarious :D

Do you think this or the Olympus e-3 is better sealed?

0:46

[LZmiljoona]

0:45 Ya!

I will probably :)

The K-5

[oct579]

it is true i change from a hi end Nikon to Pentax k7 because

I am a biologist and the winter is hard In Canada Quebec never fell me

After 37 years of Photographie that i good camera

[Idtelos]

This impersonation makes me want to go buy Chipotle-away...

[dotppY]

OMG! best salesman ever!

[VolfoggUnlimited]

Needs more enthusiasm 

[ethiokiddo]

I heard that the shutter sound on the K-7 is quiet! I didn't even hear it when you took a picture.

[cromagno]

Just bought my K7 and looking forward to regularly showering with it.

[runzwthscizzerz]

Calm down I'l buy a Pentax GEEZ!!

[ridersinglem]

why don't try olympus E-3

olympus has much more waterproof lens than pentax

[Arska6]

Try at Canon 7D or Nikon D300 :)

[Sqeener]

@Arska6 try not being such a close minded person

[ManuelDr]

He probably drank like 40 Red Bulls before shooting this video nonetheless BUY A PENTAX!

[staniz4]

Really a billy may joke from after his death. too soon dude way to soon

[Idtelos]

@staniz4 CHIPOTLE-AWAY!

[Xanatissimo]

LOL... US Marine style... just not kidding around.... a 2000$ DSLR under a shower head... what proof than waterproof is needed... ha ha ha... next time put in on a bath and let it float... than you can be sure if it still works that I'll buy a K7....

[xaniared]

I cant afford more laugh!!!!!!

[FrobblOo]

this dude has much energy lol.

[selca14]

amen

PENTAX IS THE BEST

[asht0n0us]

@selca14 lier! nikon is the best

[aqidon]

Lol epic vid.

[Maxfli82]

I shoot Nikon but great job by Pentax of making one of the most affordable weather sealed cameras. Thanks for demonstrating. My question to all manufacturers has always been how much weather abuse can these cameras take? If a mfr made a demo like this, it would help sell their cameras.

[jonnebanan]

You are a brave man.. Or just paid by Pentax. I'm not convinced that camera did work after letting the water soak in for a few minutes. And what happens to the lens after a few days, having been drowned like that?

[Gio645]

@jonnebanan

You better believe it. K-7 is not the first Pentax WS camera. K10D and K20D are also WS.

Nothing happens to the lens because it is WS too.

[Lurchkenny]

@jonnebanan Better believe it. I have the K200d which is less than the K7 (but still has the weather sealing) and I've shot in the rain and snow. Never had a problem. You do need to use the weather-sealed lenses though.

[1986Chaitanya]

Man thats some marketing. I own a Pentax K7 and Nikon D300s but never use them in rains.

[donconco]

sad

[ThePhotogem]

douche bag

[agun17]

Don't need one with a k7.

:3

[Quartzarenite]

Next trick....take a video WITH the K7 while it's under the shower head.

[TVlesliearnelle]

lol...sold :)

[bensoldier85]

awsome, great vid. my K7 is on its way!!!

[BastianLende]

Great Camera! Best you can get for your money! I´ve used my K7 in North Sea conditions with salty spray. No problems!

[ftpaddict]

Hahahahaha, nice vid, mate ;) I'd totally buy one if I had the money.

[octavmandru]

I took pictures with k200d in rain for more than one hour. I was taking cover just to wipe the water off the front lens.

SR is giving me the low noise advantage the FF is giving for 10 times the price.

[joolyn77]

buy a pentax!!! oh yea babeh...

i'm luving K-7 colors....now waiting for k-x hehe the white ones

[boyboy0213]

Nice clip~~!!!

btw, I own 5D Mk2 , D300, K20D, K-7, to me The best colour & IQ is K20D, Best AWB is K-7, the worst IQ, colour & AWB is D300

[totalzombie]

but the IQ sucks ... get a 7D or D300s

[pablomurillotube]

The hell are you talking about? Everyone out there knows that the K-7's IQ is great... Just another pentax hater (and Canon and Nikon kissass)

[dvamateur]

Never. I will never own a Canon or Nikon. Only Pentax, Olympus, or Minolta for me. Unfortuatelly can't afford a Leica.

[DustinBodenVEVO]

@dvamateur then get the cheap one.... hasselblad =P

[Aragiss]

@dvamateur And the reason for this is... ??

[dvamateur]

@Aragiss The reason is simple. Olympus, Pentax and Minolta have great products. No need to go for an overrated and overpriced Canon, or Nikon. And why make a huge and rich corporation such as Canon or Nikon even bigger and richer that it already is? Olympus and Pentax are like boutique companies in comparison. It's even surprising they have any presence at all in the market with such a miniscule number of employees. Nonetheless, I like Canon printers, but I wouldn't buy a Canon camera.

[ShazamVanBane]

@dvamateur you're grammar is stupid and i bet those 32 people who voted you up aren't even sure what you meant. Delete your stupid comment and get the punctuation and grammar right. Did you mean

"NEVER WILL I" OR "I WILL OWN THIS:" ? Ugh,

[dvamateur]

@ShazamVanBane I meant that I wouldn't spend my money on a Canon or Nikon products. These are large corporations that are very rich. Why me, a poor individual, why should I give my hard earned money to big corporations? I'd rather go for more boutique brands, such as Pentax, Olympus, or Leica. Excuse my grammar, but English is not my first language, what can I do?

[kyleain]

@dvamateur Okay sorry u can use translate.google. c o m, but anyways, what matters is getting the best camera at the best price, not if a corporation is big or not, that's silly. If one corp was evil but small and the bigger one good, would you give your money to the evil one just because it was smaller?! Sometimes companies should fail.

[dvamateur]

@kyleain By default all business is evil because they exploit the consumer. Nonetheless, I'd very much like to see having more companies around than less. Look at the computer market. You're either stuck with Windows or Mac for consumer and even pro applications. I very much miss Atari ST platform, for instance. I don't want the same thing be happening to the photographic gear. If Pentax and Olympus disappear, it will be a sad thing, 'cause these two companies have great legacy.

[kyleain]

@dvamateur There is no evidence that the definition of business is "something that is evil that exploits customers" wow are you one of those Occupy Retail Stores people? A communist? You're making statements based on assumptions. That's mistake number one. You're also thinking in one direction. Since when do "customers" not have the power to "exploit" a business? You really never heard of Chinese workers being used as virtual slaves? Do you want complete slaves for you? Look up the word exploit.

[dvamateur]

@kyleain Okay, maybe I have hard feelings because I have always been exploited and ripped off. But that's personal thing. You said yourself that Chinese are being exploited. Sure they are. It takes a few bucks to make an iPhone, but then Apple charges arm and a leg for it. So, who is exploited? Apple? I think not. I think the Chinese workers and American customers are being exploited by Apple. Would I buy and Apple product after they went Made in China? No.

[marcomarcucci]

I did and find the K20d a superlative camera!

[TheArtbrute]

yeah, it's weather-sealed.... so what, my nikon still takes better pictures :P

[colinstu]

Yup! I doubt most people even take this gear out in conditions like this. I'm not saying people don't, because I have seen people do it... but your average person is either going to baby it, or treat it like shit.

[pprflorida1]

wow

[cathyt1960]

Great video, great camera! Pentax is the best!

[danamott]

Nicely done. You are heading to LA for sure!

[ddellibovi]

hell yeah!

[MrPentaxMVP]

Buy a Pentax!
