I have been waiting the K30d but they have released a K7 which includes in Camera HDR processing and more. Looks like I have found my K10's replacement. I know many people have been begging for in camera HDR for years and it seems it has finally arrived.
Some slick new ideas:
A High Dynamic Range (HDR) image capture mode captures three images then combines them in camera to widen the exposure gamut to bring out detail in all exposure areas of images.
A programmable embedded copyright function preserves artistic integrity and image ownership during capture via a keypad that may record ownership in metatag data.
A new 14.6 megapixel CMOS sensor rebuilt from the ground up to minimize noise, adds four channel output for fast image capture, and the ability to capture HD quality movies.
HD Movie capture features adjustable quality and resolution settings, aperture control, as well as mechanical Shake Reduction, and an external microphone terminal for recording stereo sound.* The K-7 will capture video at the default standard of 1280x720 resolution with a 16:9 aspect ratio (equivalent to 720p), 1536x1024 resolution with a 3:2 aspect ratio, or 640x416 resolution with a 3:2 aspect ratio (equivalent to VGA quality), all shot at 30 frames per second.
An Electronic Level function ensures that images have truly level horizons to minimize post-capture editing.
A dedicated Mirror Lock-up function eliminates image blur due to mirror movement during long exposures.
The K-7 features the newly developed PRIME (Pentax Real Image Engine) II
