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

Pros: Price, no comparison possible with entry levels of other brands

Cons: nobody

Opinion: 24 Megapixels exploited to the maximum, tropicalized, fast, usable at high iso, STABILIZED!. Along with other features such as the posable display, astrotracer etc the K-70 is in my opinion the best quality price product available on this market. Like all Pentax bodies it is compatible with all the vintage kit, which can be used with extreme ease in the MAF as it alerts you with the red dot and with BIP when the subject is in focus. It is a "young" machine, thanks to wi-fi and filters that you can apply directly in the car, it is possible through your mobile phone, to shoot and post on social media in instant.

Pros: Stabilized sensor and excellent high iso quality, handling, easy and rational controls, robustness

Cons: low-life battery life

Opinion: I bought this Pentax, a brand that I have always considered excellent, for a specific purpose, to help me in the astrophotography of the deep sky that I prefer to do without connection to a telescope, but with rather pushed photographic canvases that have less aberrations than rapid astronomical instruments with costs within my reach. I have a large terrace that unfortunately is covered to the north and this prevents me from being able to set the chaser on the polar star with the necessary precision: I thought that the astrotracer of this machine could help me and in fact compensates very well for the error of the pursuer allowing me to set myself from 10 minutes to half an hour. Above all, it allows me to shoot many poses from one or two minutes each by keeping the image in the same area of the sensor. If you take into account that the sensor holds the high iso well (rarely, however, I exceed 3200), much better than another full reflex formed by revered brand. I would say that it was a purchase more than apt and that also allows me to make excellent shots also of landscape.
