Pros:Ergonomics, simple yet elegant design, tropicalized, quality materials, ease of use, double ring (timing / diaphragms), efficient up to 12400 ISO, not least!
Cons:nobody
Opinion:Professional category machine. I replaced an Olimpus OM D EM 5, for me the K50 is another category. I am a landscapist and a naturalist, just in manual mode, the Pentax really did a masterpiece with this mid-level machine, which in my humble opinion competes with top-class machines. In two years I've been superstructured .... I have bought the Pentax K 3 mark II, a great car, but when I miss my K 50! It's a shame I'm out of production K 50- Anyway, I would recommend anyone who wants to take photographs seriously with affordable costs to the most. Brava Pentax!
Pros:Tropicalised, double ring, pentaprism viewfinder, excellent ergonomics (for me), possibility to use batteries in an emergency, built-in level.
Cons:display fixed
Opinion:purchase satisfied, buy back, it gave me a lot of satisfaction. The only drawback rupture of the diaphragm mechanism (known problem for k-30 and k-50) resolved in warranty Fowa, since then zero problems. It happened to get wet but being Tropicalized has not created any problem. I like jpeg churning, always balanced colors and blacks decisi.rnHa 11 focus points, they may seem few, in my free hand is more than enough, using a tripod you can use the grill in Live View and the points become 100.rnPunti strengths are the double ring, the pentaprism and the level incorporata.rnMi like the convenience of the switch for selecting the type of focus, for a moment you switch from manual all'autofocus.rnIl display is fixed and this it becomes a problem if you want to do macro photo flowers at ground level (must lie on the ground) for this reason not recommend to anyone who wants to practice this type of fotografia.rnrn
Pros:Pentaprism viewfinder, weather sealing, double rings, simple and intuitive menu, excellent construction
Cons:Autofocus system indoors with white light normale.bilanciamento not always satisfactory
Opinion:My first reflex held for more than two years, about 7000 shots, always impeccable and without any great consigliatissima problem, only weak point is the autofocus does not always efficient. I read lamemtele ABOUT fact that it breaks the system handling diaphragms, frankly my car has never given this problem. If I had to advise him I would do without problems.
Pros:1) Excellent quality, 2) tropicalization, 3) remarkable possibilities of color management and other parameters, 4) double ring, 5) remarkable black and white (infrared filter, high contrast adjustable filter etc.), 6) relatively low price compared to the endowment, 7) ability to use lithium battery or rechargeable batteries with adapter (original accessory to buy separately), 8) intervalized shooting with wide choice of parameters, 9) watercolor filter/drawing with really remarkable and interesting effects.
Cons:it is a reflex, therefore: 1) weight, 2) footprint, 3) additional price of optics. 4) Non-orientable display (counterbalanced by very useful equipment and difficult to find in other machines), 5) There is no audio jack socket for external microphone. 6) Mono audio.
Opinion:As written on my profile, I am a passionate non-professional, so my opinion applies to what it is worth: it is only the story of my personal experience. It was my first (and only) DSLR. When I bought it I was stunned: it looked like a portable photo lab. The possibilities of managing color and other parameters is amazing. The double dial and the external controls are very comfortable. Black and white is gorgeous. I don't take many color photos but even in this field the level looks interesting. Very functional and rational digital interface. . Among the cons I put the price back (as among the pros), because anyway, when buying a reflex, the interchangeable optics multiply the costs compared to compacts. Years later I confirm: exceptional and unmissable machine but, for those who come from a compact, even manual but simple (not premium), it is advisable to switch first from a compact premium, as then I did. The level of complexity is remarkable and to overcome the weight/clutter problem requires great determination, patience and spirit of adaptation, and the awareness that you sacrifice so much comfort in exchange for so much quality. Photo.
Pros:Colors, double ring for speed and aperture, beautiful and look at, comfortable in hand, good resistance to high ISO and tropical conditions and also cheap ...
Cons:Maybe the battery that the cold does not hold much ... Too bad it lacks the mirror up function
Opinion:I already had a KS1, and I also bought the K50 for the double ring and weather sealing. I have not found flaws in a year and a half of use rather intense and every time, even under heavy snowfall. Beautiful colors, fine details, double ring and simple menu. many direct commands and more the "info" menu of fast settings. HDR Room, the focus motor in the Room, stabilization on the sensor and double ring, also, are somewhat rare commodity in this price range. Great sensor, I think it is the same as the K5 ... which is saying something! IO I can not fault ... noisy Shutter? That maybe so, but for the kind of photos that I do not matter! Missing only the mirror up function ... finally, I find it convenient direct switch to select afs-afc-mf (often just af-mf, and to switch-afs afc, access the menu) rn
Pros:up to 2200 excellent shots in all respects. I use it for astronomy
Cons:at 2230 it went into tilt,photos all dark, a defect on the diaphragm lever that characterizes both the k30 and the k50.... and in pentax they know it.cost repair block diaphragms 200 euros
Opinion:I keep it because in the manual I feel good about astronomy, otherwise I do not recommend it..... see on the forums various of the pentaxiani.il problem is that having all pentax (goals and various accessories) forces me to buy another pentax for everyday use and right now the most 'cheap' is the pentax KS1....... Update.... I repaired it by following a tutorial found on you tube and now it's great !!!
Pros:Stabilization in the camera body, tropicalization, viewfinder with 100% coverage with magnification 0,92x, double adjustment ring, solidity, flexibility of using AA batteries with a special adapter, countless color combinations.
Cons:Display adjustable, however if you do not use the excellent viewfinder / pentaprism.
Opinion:I am a neophyte in the fascinating world of photography. This is my first SLR, given to me as entry level to try my hand at this fine art. I had the opportunity earlier to know Pentax, even if only with a compact. I was genuinely impressed and very satisfied by this small but great camera. As with all new tools with which it comes in contact, it may take a few days to be able to orientate well between commands. Understood the key points of the screen the user is really simple: the display and the software helps a lot to handle white balance, depth of field, exposure time, aperture, etc. etc. The sensor produces Sony RAW files really nice, with a really interesting range of colors and with the now well-known blacks Pentax. The shades of gray that can be obtained are very interesting, despite the Mp are many available but not at the top (remember that is an entry level sensor aps-c). The handle is solid, even with medium-large hand, despitethe K50 is reduced in overall size.
Pros:Sensor stabilization, body solidity, ergonomics, pentaprism, double ring for times and diaphragms, sensor, tropicalization, price
Cons:Shooting noise, inaccurate evening automatic white balance, weight (although it can be a pro)
Opinion:I have been using this Reflex for about two months. Bought for just over 400 euros new on Amazon. Considering the fairly low price you can't find better in any other brand. The noise at the click is due to the fact that many pentax optics do not have an internal engine for autofocus, so they use that of the machine, which consequently causes an annoying noise. Another small problem is the automatic white balance that often fails in the evening, so manual balancing in the evening is preferable.
Pros:Stabilization, tropicalization, pentaprism, double adjustment ring, feeling of strength, ergonomics, excellent quality / price ratio
Cons:shutter sound annoying (very strong in my opinion), battery
Opinion:From the point of view of ergonomics, construction, materials, etc. It was love at first sight. Good pentaprism. Excellent image quality, especially if you combine optical good standard. The stabilization is very useful, less tropicalization (if you do not have optical bright zinc is useless). With the kit from 18-55, with 50ino Pentax f / 1.8 and with some lenses "vintage" Cosina of my father, I noticed that the raw have a strong magenta cast. Council not to exceed ISO 3200, although it can get to 51200. With the K50 I have not felt comfortable doing street (I prefer the mirrorless optical with pancakes or premium compact), both for its size, either by the strong sound Shutter (very discreet when photographing in the street among the people or the theater). Overall the pros far outweigh the cons and considering the excellent quality / price, I can not claim to be satisfied with this reflex.
Pros:Good value for money, weather sealing, double adjustment ring, internal stabilizer
Cons:I have not yet found
Opinion:I purchased this camera Pentax convinced of its high-value I have to say that I am fully satisfied. Compared with the entry level SLR another widespread brand that I used before the comparison just does not hold water. The Pentax I find it superior in everything from materials not 'plasticky' build quality, dual adjustment ring, not to mention the weather sealing of the body and also the objectives. The Pentax also uses the pentaprism instead of pentamirror of many of the competitors of the same price range. A small gem is the stabilizer inside the camera body that allows you to also use objectives unregulated saving on their purchase. 100% satisfied.
