Meet the new kid on the block- Pentax K-7

wow cool of canon to provide this firmware update but the lack of 24p is still a major issue. this brings it one step closer to being the camera to get though so maybe they are still working on the framerate- I'm sure they've heard just as many requests for it as they have for manual controls. right now though even though it has really amazing image quality, its 30p still looks a little video-y. watching 5d clips on vimeo aren't really a good indication of its motion since vimeo automatically converts hd clips to 24fps. if it had 24p it would probably beat out most prosumer camcorders- and yeah, probably make it a better choice than the gh1 although they're at different price points.

Easy to convert to 24P? I've never heard that 30P is easy to convert - or more specifically, easy to convert and have it LOOK good. So you'd really choose the 5Dii over the GH1? Hmmm... now I need to think.
This REALLY is the first footage of K-7, 720p mode, shot by Ned Bunnell, president of Pentax Imaging USA with a beta firmware

cool bw footage
initial impressions is that the gh1 gives a more cinematic look. but still it's very very impressive and apparently IN STOCK right now... at least at amazon. still very early but it'll be quite interesting to see what else people come up with.
