sent on January 21, 2014

Pros: Excellent value for money, lack of chroma noise, stabilized camera body, made good up to 3200 ISO, usable up to 6400, ergonomics, ability to use mount lenses K/M42 with confirmation of focus and stabilization, strength, cover the viewfinder 100% through the pentaprism, superior image quality for the segment Entry Level, stop increments settable to 1/3 stop, good dynamic range, autofocus motor in the camera body, nikon shutter quieter than competitors.

Cons: Not selectability point autofocus to focus on the screen, confirming the absence of autofocus point on the screen to focus, lack of Pentax lenses is that third-party, autofocus slower than the video concorrenza.rnLato not up to the competition (but if I want to use a video camera, not an SLR). Lack of lenses used on the side.

Opinion: The camera body is definitely a good body, though not weather sealed, it is very solid and sturdy, the body is the same as the K-50, from which it differs marginally. It 'an economic machine in the entry level segment, so it can not be compared to other higher end machines. In his segment is extremely generous and enables the user to have features that the brand damage only during the scheduled major competitors in the market, such as the presence of the pentaprism, the presence of a double ring, the autofocus motor in the camera body. At the same price, and excluding the video side (which is not at the top), is a machine equivalent to a semi-pro as Nikon D7000. Regarding the optical side, there is an absence of the optics from the side used.
