In spite of loving the K-500 I was tempted to go back top-of-the-range sooner than I expected when I saw Amazon Warehouses had a reduced price K-3 body. The box was damaged as advertised, but the camera itself seems to be in perfect condition, none of the mentioned scratches.
My first impression was that after being used to the 500, the 3 is definitely back to the house-brick build of the K10D. In both handling and performance the K-3 shouts both Pro and Top-of-the-Range at you and is most definitely a serious bit of kit.
Now I'll leave the techie bits to others, and I'm never interested in 'debates' between makes as I'm never going to be rich enough to change all my lenses, flashes etc. in one go.
Having set the camera's parameters similar to the K-500 my first model shoots have produced excellent results - the expected high resolution but with nice, smooth natural skin tones. (I'd set the colour to Natural then just boosted the contrast and saturation a shade, but still softer colours than Bright) But I love the way the camera handles, nice and solid but quietly positive with the focussing and mirror/shutter.
Other Likes? Well being able to insert 2 SD cards to have 2 copies of vital shoots secured is a good one. Going back to a preview switch on the shutter release is another, But whatever the niceties, and there seem plenty, this is quite simply a superb top-of-the-range camera.
It's absolutely perfect for beginners to SLRs, it really is. When you're new to SLRs, they are bit intimidating with buttons and settings all over the place, and you don't really know what does what. For a first camera, you want to just have the basics. These basics are to the fore with the K30, so it's very easy to pick up and get into 'proper' photography without constantly messing things up by fiddling with half-understood settings. The problem with entry level cameras though, is after a while you know what you're trying to do. You wish your 'basic' camera had, for example, spot metering, or curtain flash, or something a bit more controlled. This is where the K30 really shines, because everything you could ever want or need from an SLR is there - it just buries the more advanced controls where they're not going to freak you out as you're learning. That's not so say it needs 15 button pushes to get to some obscure menu to use these features, they're very accessible - but they're not right to the fore where you might get bogged down with them. This is really the only difference here between the K30 and the K5 - the K5 has these advanced controls right in front of you, as it assumes a more advanced user, while the on the K30 they're 'one level down' so to speak. I haven't found anything yet that my K5 can do that this can't.
It's a plastic body, but don't let that put you off. I challenge anyone to be able to tell the difference between the metal body of the K5 and the plastic body of the K30 - I certainly can't tell the difference. The weather sealing is also a fantastic bonus, as you're not afraid to really USE it. It's an expensive bit of kit and it's nice you don't have to worry about a bit of rain, or sand, or whatever. It's a tough camera, and perfect for an 'expedition' camera where you know it's going to get knocked about. You're not afraid to put it into dodgy places where it might get splashed, and so you can concentrate on your shots.
I have absolutely no reserve about recommending this camera in the highest terms. Nikon and Canon may have the repututation for being 'pro', but this little Pentax is up there with cameras costing 4 times as much. An incredible camera, and deserves to be a future 'classic'.
No problems when is cold like -20C. I used it on Siberia in West Russia on Winter time and everything worked fine and works fine till today:)
Good Stuff. I reccomend
The two control wheels are also excellent enabling you to change both shutter and aperture in 'P' as well as ISO mode etc and almost all information is shown in the viewfinder as well as the monitor.
The image quality is very good with lots of detail in both the dark areas and light areas, even better when shooting RAW, which is saved as a DNG file.
The only slight niggle is the lack of an articulated LCD, but the viewfinder is so good that I use it most of the time. This all adds up to the best DSLR available for under
The most obvious changes are a higher-resolution sensor, a weatherproof camera body, a larger, brighter viewfinder, a better LCD screen, quicker focusing, focus-point indicators in the viewfinder, and a second input wheel. There are also numerous other improvements, such user-configurable modes, a horizon meter (which can show forwards-backwards tilt as well as side-to-side), automatic horizon correction, and much more.
One feature I am quite keen on is the "focus peaking" in live view. When composing a shot using the LCD screen (rather than the viewfinder), this feature highlights, in real-time, any edges in the scene that are in focus. This is extremely useful when using manual focus lenses at wide apertures, especially when zooming in on the LCD display, since the standard viewfinder lacks any optical focussing guide.
If I were to be critical, this camera is noticeably heavier than the K-x, but the pentaprism and weatherproofing probably make this unavoidable. Also, I'm a big fan of Sanyo Eneloop rechargeable AA cells, which, unlike lithium-ion batteries, retain their charge for months on end, so are always ready to go. This camera is capable of taking 4 AA's, but this requires a separate holder, which Pentax disappointing did not see fit to include. Unbranded Chinese ones are available for a lot less than the official Pentax model. Also, I was a little surprised that the included lithium-ion battery only occupies a fraction of the battery compartment; a larger battery would have meant less frequent recharges.
The 18-55mm kit lens is fine for general amateur use, although it isn't very fast for low light situations and you can obviously get better optics if you're prepared to spend more. It's worth noting that, unlike the camera body, the lens isn't weatherproof. A windy visit to the beach saw sand entering the same kit lens on my K-x, and it never zoomed as smoothly thereafter.
This camera is pretty easy to use, even for beginners, and yet is capable of producing truly excellent results. The user manual is well written as far as it goes, although it concentrates exclusively on the "how" rather than the "why" of the various options and settings.
While Canon and Nikon may be the more popular choices, I have no regrets about going with Pentax. Its cameras and lenses are excellent and offer extremely good value.
A much more sophisticated camera - a lot of progress in a few years.
It is quite complicated enough as a lower end model and takes all my lenses. Seems to be rather more intelligent in using older Pentax K and Screw (with bayonet adaptor) lenses (I've been a slave to the Pentax screw mount for nearly 60 years).
The battery arrangements seem rather ad hoc : a proprietary Li ion battery clipping into a 4x round cell (AA?) space and an extra battery cage being needed to use AA batteries . The Maxsimafoto cage from Amazon is perfectly well made - no need to Pentax!
I like the feel of my new K50.. not as quite as big or as heavy as my K200D.. but feels good holding it..
I like the full view of the view finder and easy to understand menu. having live view is a nice feature but a feature I really will not use I prefer setting up my shots through the view finder.. (personally that's all part of using a DSLR) The live view is nice if you are utilizing the movie mode..
The K50 works with all my lenses from my K200D as well as my all my old manual K mount lenses from my old Pentax SLR film camera a very nice "Pentax" feature!!
I also like that I can put AA batteries with the separately purchased D-BH109 battery holder. You can find AA batteries anywhere if you are in a pinch and have a dead battery..
All in all I am very happy with my K50, I have taken about 300 shots and very please with the quality of the photos I am getting...
The 16MP sensor may not be as high as some of the other cameras on the market, but I've found that 16MP is more than enough for most photgraphers unless you plan on printing images above 22''. Otherwise, you will be nmore than satisfied.
The manual, automatic, and semi-automatic (Av-Priority, etc.) are highly responsive. Changing the manual settings is seamless once you spend a few miniutes with the camera. I was pleased with how responsive and accurate the sensor is.
All in all, I think that this is a good buy for any mid-level photography who doesn't want to go the Nikon/Canon route for any number of reasons. Admittedly, I have a somewhat irrational attachment to Pentax because it is the brand that I first learned how to shoot film on, but I objectively think that this is a great camera. I would recommend it.
My camera came with four double A batteries, battery holder, neck strap and kit lens, but did not come with the AC power supply (not sure I’ll need this anyway). The lithium batteries (an optional purchase), are only sold to consumers in other parts of the world – there’s a notation in the product manual.
The printed manual is very thick and provides functional step-by-step instructions. I did, however, have to view a YouTube video to figure out how to put the neck strap on! Oh, and make sure you put the lens on correctly, otherwise nothing will be visible in the viewfinder and the large screen will be quite dim – it will still take photos though!
Perhaps it was the kit lens or just my copy of the camera in particular (I got it from warehouse deals, so I'm guessing someone else had bought and returned it) but it seemed to hunt for autofocus in casual indoor shooting, something my Nex 6 and D90 don't really do as often. That aside, the camera itself seems well built and sturdy, but it just doesn't feel substantial, take that how you will. I can certainly appreciate the lack of heft when thinking about lugging it around my neck all day, but I also like to feel that my camera has some mass to it. It feels very nikon D40-esque. This is admittedly a personal preference, and I think my four star review demonstrates that my bias does not reflect poorly on the camera. It simply isn't the camera for me. Image quality was good and the lcd display was bright and easy to read. Controls are well-placed and menus are simple and intuitive (unlike those of the Nex which are terrible). Overall, a very good camera with a lot of features for a good price. Unless you are like me and have some arbitrary and ultimately pointless predefined notion of what a camera should feel like this would be a very good choice for almost anyone.
One thing to note - the option to use AA batteries is nice - but you need to order an adapter piece to hold them and that does not come with the camera. That was not obvious when I ordered it. I'm going to order one though so I can use AAs if it comes up.
But the quality of images are wonderful and I find the interface easy to use - the main things I look for.
DSLR who doesn't need full frame.
Today, this came well before the 1pm deadline with helpful updates on both email and text from DPD as to my package's progress.
So far, I've configured the camera with some of my settings and shot a few basic tests. Although the K-500 has some control and menu differences from the older cameras I own, it was relatively easy to find out the features and settings that are the most important to me - even though on a couple of occasions I did resort to the manual (shocker!!!) The manual is nice and clear and it was very easy to find what I was looking for and so far haven't had any problems tuning the camera.
My initial tests are very encouraging and the camera is a lovely little gem of design and very positive to use. At this stage I wouldn't class any of the differences as downsides, more like progress that makes the camera neater and more compact. It would be interesting if any photographers with large chunky hands could pass on their own feedback.
I'll update this review once I have more meaningful shots to talk about, but so far, this entry-level camera is a total steal at
