Pros: Ease of use, build quality for an entry level room, 9-point AF, light weight of the machine body

Cons: AF not visible in viewfinder

Opinion: My first reflex. Very workable RAW files (provided you stay within 1600 ISO). In my model with the AA batteries, the room almost immediately gave low battery (though then actually you could do 300 shots). I solved by buying Ethinesan high capacity 3000 MWh lithium (problem disappeared definitively). Used in various conditions and never had any problem. Too bad for the absence of the AF points visible in the viewfinder. My slightly tends to underexpose. Solved by compensating with a + 1/3.

Pros: Image quality, dynamic range, 9 cross-type AF points, ease of use (take it in hand and shots), build quality and yield in relation to the price very good.

Cons: a little uncertain autofocus with low light conditions, a tendency to over-exposure, small size for those with larger hands a little

Opinion: was the first Pentax digital SLR which I put on hand. The fact that you can also use old objectives of the evenings K (obviously not working in manual and automatic sort of) it greatly increases the flexibility of the value and desirability for those who have even dated a park objectives. Although it is a simple machine that can give gandissime satisfaction. The sensor, which in itself has become a bit surpassed in terms of resolution, it is simply great. Makes it increasingly clear images, without color casts "fabricated". RnL'ho used a little bit for everyone, landscapes, nature photography, weddings, portraits, macro, and I've never been disappointed. The lens supplied as standard does not make it any justice, some okay first goal, but coupled with highest optical quality is unmatched with any SLR sibling or even superiori.rnI JPG and RAW files are fabulous very, very validi.rnIn some cases I have found a slight tendency to overexposure, easily corrected with the compensation EV.rnL 'unico drawback I found is nell'autofocus, that light is a little bit uncertain and hinders the scatto.rnDopo have tried this machine I bought a second Pentax (a K7), of which I am very satisfied.

Pros: yield high ISO, dynamic range, af points to 9 points in the cross (the only entry level that does not have just one), possibility AA batteries, solid construction (stainless steel housing) rnrn

Cons: af points are not visible in mirinorn

Opinion: has a burst really good in its category, af very advanced, always in its category, and always is the best in its category costruita.rnè an entry level and does not have features superintendent, as the pro (double ring, lcd etc. on the shoulder. ) shame, because everything else is ottimo.rncome first SLR definitely takes a lot of soddisfazioni.rnbuon wb, excellent resistance to iso and make it a great good f reflex.rnil made of AA batteries is subjective, for me is a plus, anywhere in the world they are in, and with a few tens of taking the € sanyo eneloop there are no differences with the classical style.

Pros: lightweight, good build quality for the price range, burst fast, high iso use, intuitive menus

Cons: lacking the AF points in the viewfinder

Opinion: is my first SLR but are largely satisfied, more or less everything that can serve me, I think I will change only at the end of life, so we hope as long as possible, after trying a perspective of another brand I have decided that I will buy only optical Pentax! that have competitive prices and are excellent under all points of view.

Pros: Burst remarkable for its category, high output at high iso, software and settings easily with a pair of customizable buttons, size and lightweight. Value for money.

Cons: Autofocus points are not visible in the viewfinder, any problems in optics because pentax is not a popular brand like nikon and canon and therefore ready for delivery as there is nothing.

Opinion: I'm not an expert on cameras, many years ago I had an analog. However, depending on the budget and after I had read all the reviews I think I have chosen the best for my money. I like the body color white with a sense of exclusivity. For the rest I think are the optical and especially the photographer to make a difference. Sites like this and comparison with other refined the critical spirit. My camera I think it's good to learn.
