  | sent on 14 Novembre 2021 Pros: aps-c almost definitive, stabilized sensor, good resistance to high iso, very very pleasant colors, jpeg / raw crispy beautiful and ready to use, often require only small tweaks, good burst, extreme completeness of functions, solid and massive, in the hand you hold perfectly, rich but simple and intuitive menu, superior display, good viewfinder, very high q/p ratio, discreet battery (400-600 shots). Cons: few defects, but some very relevant: focus (af-S) sometimes uncertain, care must be taken that sometimes from confirmation of fire with the subject out of focus; switch key (pad) between af points and navigation in the menu that often forces you to look away from the viewfinder x avoid changing settings accidentally (I happened to change the WB unintentionally); proprietary PP software simply embarrassing, old and very slow, x PP more marked forces the use of more sophisticated software (see LR, PS, etc) or freeware but difficult (Darktable, Raw Therapy and similar); a bit heavy x who travels but is forgiven x the beautiful and compact livery; live view rather slow and cumbersome. Opinion: Great beautiful car, it is giving me many many satisfactions, starting from the quality of the photos it churns out (jpg in the room), I am often enchanted to look at them so beautiful they are; extreme completeness of functions (GPS, Atrotracer, HDR, Bracketing, multi-shot shots), you can practically photograph everything, and in all situations (do not fear rain and cold). Beautiful to look at (the subsequent machines I do not like as aesthetics), massive, it is all substance, so much substance, machine with a very very high quality / price ratio, which will surely leave its owners happy.

  | sent on 18 Agosto 2020 Pros: Low iso gives you crispy files that you archive almost always without heavy retouching. But the thing I can't explain is that it instills a security, from the first shots, that I have never tried with other machines, from new ones in hand, even at the top level. Cons: I may have been lucky for once, but the model I have in my hand focuses quite well with the setting I've chosen and I don't throw away many shots, even when the subjects are moving, like planes taking off and landing. Note that I have the pentax mod telephoto. HD 55-300 WR ED and not the ultrasonic plm mounted while I'm writing. So I "against", according to my needs and the expectations I had, in relation to this model... Maybe a Cons: I've been lucky for once, in my life, but the model I have in my hand focuses very well with the setting I've chosen and I don't throw away a shot, not even on moving subjects, such as planes taking off and landing. Note that I have the pentax mod telephoto. HD 55-300 WR ED and not the ultrasonic plm mounted while I'm writing. So I "against", according to my needs and the expectations I had, in relation to this model... Maybe just a trickle of excessive noise when the sunlight goes down or clouds, which is strange: I'll have been lucky for once, in my life, but the model I have in my hand focuses very well with the setting I've chosen and I don't throw away a shot, not even on moving subjects, such as planes taking off and landing. Note that I have the pentax mod telephoto. HD 55-300 WR ED and not the ultrasonic plm mounted while I'm writing. So I "against", according to my needs and the expectations I had, in relation to this model... Excessive digital noise when sunlight causes cloud to disappear or at dusk drops. Up to 1600 iso I honestly expected greater efficiency. Opinion: I like almost everything about this machine, from the linear menu, not at all brainy, to the materials with which it was assembled. It should not miss much at the exit of a model called K3 III and I will definitely buy it. Of course pentax should have a thread more attention to marketing, maybe insert some new optics, bright between the telomeres, in the range 100-400 mm. maybe, since if you expect them from other producers... |

| sent on 14 Gennaio 2020 Pros: Massive and heavy, in the hand by a beautiful feeling, perfect ergonomics (at least for my hands), tropicalized, stabilized, really simple and intuitive menu, double SD slot, double dial, built-in GPS, very quiet shot compared to the K30 that I own, pixel-shift, audio input and output headphones if you need to make video (but in my opinion for videos it is better to use mirrorless than to massacre the shutter of the reflex), bayonet Pentax-K very widespread (as opposed to what the mass says), you can mount the outer handle. Cons: These against me are not to be attributed in themselves to the camera, but to Pentax, and are the absence of a real AF module for the pursuit of the subject, and a flash system P-TL not up to The E-TTL and I-TT-L Opinion: I own this photocmera since September 2015 , never purchase was more apt, a really nice camera, files of excellent quality, RAW DNG compatible with everything, in hand is like a glove, perfect, even the keys are in the right place and well distributed on the machine body. As anticipated in the pros I also own the K30 which, in my opinion, churns out beautiful jpg "ready", but once you take hold a K3 / K3 II you do not go back, if you do it you are like disoriented, disoriented. It has a really good iso estate, in the theater shot quietly at 6400 iso..... quite silent shot (the one of the K3 looks like a shooting), in the theater I always ask, but they say that the box is not heard; has the built-in GPS that I find extremely more useful than Wi-Fi that fortunately isn't there, I prefer to have a geolocated photo than with a click on the jpg (with Faststone for example) automatically opens me Google Maps/Earth. Double die and double priceless slots. Probably, for my personal taste, I would have preferred to reverse the ISO button with the Exposure Compensation button. The price is adjusted to the value of the instrument, there are "more embossed" cameras that cost more and give less both in terms of quality and substance, or that anyway at the same price are not worth what they cost. The Pentax-K bayonet offers access to a monstrously large optical park: like Nikon, Pentax has retained the ability to mount any bayonet lens from the dawn of this system to the present day without having to use adapters, so, for me that I do not disdain secheling by hand, there is no such thing as that the Pentax optical park is limited, for me it goes from the 70s to the present (the same for Nikon, I love these two policies). Two reasons of Pentax, in my opinion, are the absence of a real module for the pursuit of the subject, and the p-TTL flash system can be improved. In conclusion excellent machine, beautiful even on an aesthetic level, you should try it to really understand the potential of this camera letting loose certain prejudices. |
 | sent on 06 Marzo 2018 Pros: Robust construction, tropicalised, intuitive menus and commands, dynamic range (especially with the "pixel-shift" function), native DNG files Cons: Slightly high price, fixed display, missing built-in flash, little diffused Pentax graft Opinion: Coming from the K-3 "normal", I found myself immediately with the commands and menus, obviously very familiar. I also found the sturdy tank construction and the storm-proof tropicalization. The ability to shoot in DNG format "native" is a plus that have few competitors even much more expensive. Also the sensor maintains the same remarkable dynamic range of the previous model, further implemented with the function "pixel Shift", which in some situation gives a nice hand, especially when using high ISO. In contrast, over the pentaprism was inserted the GPS (with Astrotracer function) and was sacrificed the built-in Flash, which on several occasions is precious to fill the shadows and as lightening flash. In my opinion maybe it was better to keep the flash, since in the Pentax price list is available at the price of a dedicated GPS module to engage on the hot shoe. It would have been much more useful to have a nice articulated display like the K-S2 or the K-70. Battery Chapter: The duration is very good, but it drops drastically if you use the GPS and/or the "pixel-shift", so it is better to have at least one spare. It's not a cheap camera, but we can stand it if you consider the endless features available and construction on a professional level. The real problem is the ever-less availability of third-party optics (read Sigma and Tamron) with Pentax-K graft. But this is another story... |
 | sent on 03 Ottobre 2017 Pros: Stylish line, great materials, fabulous ergonomics, fantastic sensor, tropicalized to the maximum! Cons: a bit heavy Opinion: I think this APS C very refreshing, really a super car! Exceptional sensor, does not mistake a reading. I use it only as a camera, I do not care about movies, I change to a K 50 and I have to say that the PENTAXs are really great machines. I think they offer something more concrete than Nikon and Canon just because they are disadvantaged by the market, which because of the importer has generated a generational vacuum. I come from the Pentax K 1000, which I still own and use from time to time and I realize that pasta have always been made by Pentax reflex cameras. The K 3 mark II is an excellent machine, under all profiles. Its cost, albeit elevated to 1,050.00 Euros only body, is not high when compared to competing cameras. I put it under the running water of the fountain, absolutely watertight! |
 | sent on 07 Settembre 2017 Pros: A car body really thought, its price is far too low for what it is worth. Full of features that on other brands are paying gold. Cons: The bad reputation of the brand, which may mean: difficulty in finding used. Maybe his weight, because he is a tank. Opinion: I bought this car in 2015 and are two full years using it uninterruptedly. rnThe ergonomics and the position of the keys are fantastic, the menu is very intuitive. The sensor is big enough and performs well with Iso Iso, the resulting Raw is excellent as well as the high latitude of the pose (or gamma Dynamic Direction you want) which is just like Canon, Nikon, Sony for a few hundred euro more.rnI used it many times in extreme environments (-20 ° C with snow falling and 35 ° with flying sand) but you've never missed a shot. (It is important, however, to keep the batteries warm in the first case because otherwise they are discharged.) The pentax K attaches to vintage mounts, which even though they are not stabilized, the sensor (as the stabilizer is integrated into the body) .rn I also had the chance to try to make videos and the result is not bad, especially if you pair the internal stabilizer with a Glidecam or agimbal. Only flaw is the 24frame in full hd, you can go to 60fram only with 720p.rnImage microphone is still decent, although I preferred to use an external one of the Rode.rnrnThe only problem that this machine can have is weight, and I have to admit that during some demanding hikes this was felt. |
  | sent on 14 Luglio 2017 Pros: Tropicalization, robustness, pixel shift, GPS and astrotracer, sensor stabilizer Cons: Resellability, so many do not understand this brand Opinion: A tank, robustness feels instantly, both in touch and when you press any button. The raw file has extreme workability, let alone pixel shift than exceptional color shades. Raw DNG file native. Ample Optical Optical Parks; Stabilizer on the sensor. Great White Balance Automatically. GPS with astrotracer posing B follows the motion of the stars for up to 5 minutes offering the ability to make nightmares impossible for other brands without using a trackster |
