We just received a pre-newsstand copy of the July/August issue of American Photo. This is the issue that contains their “Editor’s Choice Awards for 2009”. We were excited (or really "stoked" to use a surfer's term) to see they awarded the Pentax K-7 (and the Nikon D90) their camera of the year for the “Advanced D-SLR” category. They stated their reason for this joint award as follows:
“We couldn’t decide whether the Nikon D90 or Pentax K-7 should win the Advanced D-SLR of the year, so we chose them both. Yet each has different strengths: The Nikon is a low light champ, the Pentax an affordable pro-spec workhorse.”
We were also pleased to read that American Photo gave the new DA*55mm lens an Editor's Choice, and the P70 its “Best Buy” rating for Compact cameras.
If you're interested in reading the reviews, I believe this issue will hit the newsstands by the third week of this month, if not a few days earlier in certain markets.
