Pentax K-7 vs old EOS 700 in a dark room

Auto focus speed test of the Pentax K-7 and a 19 year-old EOS 700 film camera in a dark room using each camera's built-in AF assist lamp. The K-7 has a new 18-55 kit lens, and the EOS 700 is paired with an old EF 28-135. Focus is on the same high-contrast target.

The lenses that you compare are not the same quolity, because you use an entry level PENTAX lense against CANON, use SDM PENTAX lenses, and you will see the difference...

Lol, I was trying to give the advantage to Pentax! I was using one of the fastest focussing Pentax lenses. If I used an SDM lens, you would see an evel larger difference. SDM is well known to be SLOOOW. Even slower than screw drive.

I still do know what's the function to compare old  vs new camera from different brandname.

@rtogog It shows how slow and out of date Pentax AF is. SAFOX is a holdover from the film days.

Both seem surprisingly good, way better than my experience with my own K-7.

@55bduke I´ve had inconclusive results with the 18-55 (version II) and the 17-70 SDM.
