Pros: very easy to handle; excellent 100% viewfinder; Tropical; very pleasant and manageable files; comprehensive, easy-to-reach controls; feeling of quality and robustness in daily use; wifi excellently managed by the Android and iOS app...

Cons: In my opinion, only one but heavy: there is no wireless to control a remote flash but you have to use a trigger.

Opinion: Socket used with about a thousand shots together with his 18/55 and with FOWA recording still to be activated, activated immediately, together I had the 50 DA 1.8 and the 32 Gb Lexar card all for less than 500€. I bought it as a replacement for a K50 that manifested the well-known solenoid problem and, honestly, I didn't regret it; with the 17/70 it deforms really good quality images and easily workable in LR and PS. It lacks, as mentioned in the cons, the remote control of the flashes which for me is very serious but which I will solve with another 360. Who is it recommended for? To beginners who do not give in to trends and want to spend little while looking for a high quality product, to the expert photographer who will be able to bring out the best in this gem both as a first body and as a second body. Finally, I would like to point out that the KF is basically the exact copy of the K70...

Pros: All the pros of Pentax ( stabilization, K mount lenses, color rendering, bw almost from analog, robustness, simplicity, ergonomics, tropicalization, green button )

Cons: Lack of GPS for the Astrotracer really a shame.

Opinion: Bought used very recently with 82 shots so new. Why a car that came out more than seven years ago? Because it has everything you need plus something that I didn't have on the K30, because I found a menu that I already know very well, because fashions make a fool of me, because I already have a small Fuji to do the street, because I don't like to give money to Marketing, because my purpose is to hope to take some good photos even if I can't use the thousand thousand ISO (which then anyway you can see and until a few years ago, we could do it with 400 ASAs. And we lived the same. ) and because obviously I have a good fleet of optics even manual ones that will be fine even with the 24 mpx (beyond that it will never be worth it and in any case I will never print billboards), because I also change the cars about every eight years and finally because I like it. The first photos are of excellent quality, very engraved, clean, faithful in colors, the old optics have not lost anything with the increase of pixels, maybe over time I will find in some shots a bit of chromatic aberration, a thread of vignetting, a fluff to clean in post. I know of people who have changed reflex equipment to have less weight and size and in the end find themselves with a one-kilo mirrorless to which to add optics (perhaps with an extra adapter) and a lot less money, at least there they travel lighter. I'm not old anymore. I want to photograph without making myself feel like it on the kit and if I take a look at Youtube it's all about magnifying the latest mirrorless release and then maybe the same people praise the vintage look that they manage to remake! But then buy an old 5 mpx digital with ccd or an analog one!

Pros: It's a tank, tropicalization put to the test, articulated screen

Cons: No battery grip, ISO usable low despite high range

Opinion: Before buying it, I did some research, looking for the best camera with the features I wanted. I started my journey in photography with my father's Pentax ME Super and loved the brand. And looking from all brands and all cameras, here it is: 24 MP, WR, ISO elevated, Shake Reduction, pentaPRISMA, fully articulated screen. All these features from other brands were only available over a few thousand dollars, and Pentax included them all under €600 with the lens of kit 18-55 (also tropicalized), WOW (maybe I was even lucky enough to find the right deal at the right time). I took it everywhere, with sand, snow and pouring rain; She didn't leave me for a moment. With over 70,000 shots taken, in 4 years of use, the monitor has started to turn off even if not in the closed position, and the rubber handle of the right hand has become a bit unglued, and I think it deserves a SPA service in assistance. It takes a while to figure out the body of your camera, but when you know every button and every little feature even blindfolded, you can reach the images you really want to take. I think I've become almost sentimental, talking about a piece of metal, glass and rubber, but the way I see the world now is only through her, and I really thank her.

Pros: Ergonomic, tropicalized, lens portability, robust, viewfinder coverage, color rendering, excellent ISO yield up to 1600, 100% viewfinder coverage with pentaprism and possibility to shoot in live view with adjustable screen

Cons: Battery life, low-resolution monitor

Opinion: What to say, the pros are clearly superior to the cons... Let's start from the fact that it is tropicalized, which at this price is not found in any other machine that is not pentax, the robust construction gives you a sense of reliability and makes you understand that you have something in hand instead of Canon and Nikon of the same range, which in my opinion seems to have toys, can also be mounted very old lenses (I, for example, also mount 3 lenses of the 80s), the color rendering is excellent both, especially if, like me, you use it for landscaping, maintains an excellent yield up to ISO 1600 (at 3200 begins to produce noise), mounts a pentaprism, while many other brands at the same price give you a pentamirror and last, But not least, the fact of being able to shoot in Live View with a swivel screen that in my opinion is a nice convenience. Moving on to the cons, I noticed only two: the battery lasts little and the monitor does not have a good resolution, although the latter is only a matter of convenience. That said, however, I recommend it a lot, especially for those who do landscaping.

Pros: Pentax

Cons: From Paolino1976 - Maybe with the 70-200 f2.8 DA* slightly inaccurate and only a few times

Opinion: From Paolino1976 "the only flaw is that shooting with the lens listed above at maximum aperture, sometimes hooks a hair more "back"... Far away. (I did some tests with the tripod anyway a matter of mm) " - Appropriate Description , Af Control Is Done at TA With PdC-DoF At Minimum . As a result, AF Fine Adjust is adjusted until the perfect AF is obtained. Adding The Rear Converter Adjustment Needs To Be Redone And Value May Vary According To Camera Used
