Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Pentax K-1 Mark II Kit

So i've had the camera for about five days now and can say that it's a brilliant camera. I've had various cameras before, to name a few, Olympus E500, Olympus E510, Nikon D5100, Konica Minolta A200 (slr like compact camera) and the Pentax beats them all for image quality. The menus are very well laid out too, and as long as you use the built in noise reduction, the camera seems to have less noise than any camera i've owned personally. The sheer resolution of the K30 is magnificant, with the 18-5mm lens images are sharpest when an aperture of F8 and a focal length of 35mm is used. The 6 frames per second that the camera can shoot is very fast, I choose to shoot this way virtually always apart from when i'm taking a distant landscape photo and have the camera on a tripod. The auto white balance is always a little cold so you'll probably need to adjust the photos in Adobe Photoshop or another photo editing software, but the auto white balance isn't as cold as the Nikon D5100, that camera shot very cold pictures, even when you adjusted the colour balance in the menu settings.

Anyway, overall, the K30 is fantastic, definately the best camera out there for image quality at this price range. I even tested it against a Canon Eos 6D and preferred the K30. Normally I use Sandisk SDHC cards but seeing as the raw DNG file size with the K30 can be as high as 25mb per raw photo and Sandisk cards can be pretty expensive, especially the 32gb and 64gb cards, I chose to use a Sony SDHC I 32gb class 10 94mb/s card instead. The Sony 32gb 94mb/s cards are on Amazon for sale at about

Great price for an intermediate level DSLR. The construction is sturdy and rugged, while being lightweight. The stock lens is mediocre, but whatever... Aesthetically, it is slick, suave, cool.

What's really great is lens compatibility with old K-mount lenses. If you have vintage K-mounts lenses, this is the perfect body for you. Only beware of the infamous Ricoh Pin which in rare situations may cause your lens to become permanently stuck to the body.

In a world of photography overshadowed primarily by Nikon and Canon, having something different feels good for a change.

If you're indie or a hipster, get this camera.

Friendly user interface. Bright LCD. Pretty quick performance and memory writing.

I am happy with the K-50.

I have used Pentax film cameras for over 25 years and have several lenses from my old cameras that will work on the new K-500. I am still learning about the features of the K-500 and am looking forward to using them so I can't really rate that aspect of it. All of the photos I've made so far have been excellent using the automatic mode. My only complaint is that the shutter button is very sensitive and I may take 2-3 shots when I only want to do one. No problem though, I just delete the extra shots.

Been wanting a DSLR for a while now but couldn't justify the price of some of the other brands.
Came across the K-500 when some friends bought a K-50 and got me looking at Pentax.
After reading reviews and considering past experience with Pentax Cameras we bought this one...and we are not disappointing in the least.
It takes great photos. Period.

This is a rugged camera that can still out perform the competition. I shoot mainly in manual and the two control dials are a massive advantage. high ISO was a massive surprise although the live view performance isnt great. I never shoot in live view and i never shoot in video so the lack of a HDMI out put dosent bother me. The camera is advertised as rugged and it defiantly is. Mine has been out in rain sleet and snow, i had landed on it several times while mountain biking and skiing and it is still as good as new. The auto focusing is more than up for the job. image quality is about the same as a nikon d5100, and d7000 while it blows a canon 600d out of the water. My only complaint is that the viewfinder is a little bit dull, It has 100% coverage but it dose annoy me at times. I would strongly recommend this camera to anyone who is looking for a camera at this price point and especially is you do any shooting out side.

Since i wrote the review I have has a few issues mainly with service. I turned on the camera one day and it refused to take a photo, no matter what i did it simply didn't want to take a photo. I then got in contact with pentax, who told me to send it down to jpservices, which I did. Within six days my camera was back with the fault fixed BUT the viewfinder was filthy and the sensor was covered in rubbish that showed up in photos and made them unusable. I then emailed the company and they replied once and then nothing for a few days. I sent them multiple emails and they simply didn't respond, so i phoned them. They told me to send it in again, which i did and i got it back in around six days but when i tested it the sensor hadn't even been touched while the viewfinder was clear of crap it looks as though their is a finger print on the focusing screen. So Another phone call and more emails and i have to send it in yet again. I still haven't got it back. This has been going on for around four weeks, and is starting to make me change my mind about pentax.

I have since got it back and the sensor is clean but the viewfinder still isn't right, it is usable though so i am not sending it back in. It isn't worth the postage

Overall it is still a great camera but the service is truly awful.

Extremely versatile and durable SLR. Photo qualities so far are very good and the camera has survived some minor drops unaffected. The weight and balance of this camera are great. The lens itelf is top notch. I have also used several ancient K-mount Pentax pre-digital lenses with some really neat results - requires a bit of experimenting but if you have some 30-40 year old manual focus lenses they'll work fine!

I was interested in taking pictures with a better camera other than a point and shoot, so I started doing some research. I decided to go with the pentax k500 camera and two lenses because of the price. It is very easy to start using even without reading the instruction manual. This camera takes good quality pictures with good color.

It comes with the two lenses, battery and battery holder, usb cable, strap, and instruction manual. The items purchased were a camera bag and a 32gb sd card,

If you are a beginner photographer this is the camera for you.

perfect pentax (k30)? not entirely. as ever with pentax their own brand of lenses are (by and large..unless 100's of pounds is spent) clunky and noisy when focusing and (consequently) obtrusive because of it. a third party (relatively inexpensive) lens by sigma is considerably quieter and makes you wonder why they can get it SO RIGHT and pentax get it SO WRONG?! I defy any pentax user to say that the focusing ability of pentax cameras (in general) is smooth. that aside..the photographic results are superb and given the weatherproofing abilities built into this camera it's hard to find anything that 'offers' such good versatile value. the star of the show IS (without doubt) the sensor..but with that being courtesy of sony..it's to them (sony) that the greatest thanks must go. I DO like the camera and it has its real merits but living with its noisy mechanics is NOT easy and if taking photos whilst the sun shines accounts for your main usage of a camera there are (I believe) easier (to live with) alternatives.

There is something wrong with the shutter on the camera that I ordered, going to see what can be done about it today

Pentax K-30 DSLR Camera Body Only - Black I bought the Pentax K-30 body in December 2012 "with" cashback promotion. I live in Poland and I don't know to I qualify to the cashback promotion. Before the order I was calling to pentax cashback consumer hotline. Someone from the Pentax support told me: "You can ordered this camera to Poland, this promotion cover all European Union (also Poland) and You will receive money when You purchase Pentax dslr K-30 body". After that I ordered Pentax K-30 DSLR body. Camera came before the Christmas. Next I sent completed letter with invoice and claim form to Pentax (before 15 January 2013). Two months later, I had no answer (money on the account). I wanted to know where's my Money. I sent a few e-mails and I called to dedicated hotline number. After exchanging several emails I got the answer: Your claim has been rejected, cashback not cover you ..." I do not know who works in the company... Some incompetent people work on the support line. If i knew that the promotion does not include people from Poland, I would choose another DSLR manufacturer . If the warranty service looks the same, I regret that I chose pentax company... I could buy a Nikon d5100 (or another camera) - the same CMOS sensor, but the price much lower. For the saved money I can buy better lenses. Everybody knows the dslr camera body is not important, but the lenses. I could consider the Canon 600D, although I know that in Poland they have a good warranty service (I fixed compact camera). In conclusion Pentax K-30 is not a bad camera, but I would not recommend this company for the approach to the client. I regret, because I feel cheated. Think before you buy camera from the company... but is your choice what are you buy.

They work well to block the ultra sunny light. And the seller/customer service was very good and accommodating.

I purchased this camera in January having used Pentax DSLRs extensively since the K10D was introduced a few years ago. My most recent Pentax DSLR was the K-5 but due to personal circumstances this had to be sold. Fortunately this was already on the market so having carried out some research I opted for the K-30. My main concern was that I didn't want to be taking a backward step with my photography having used the K-5 for almost 2 years on a fairly regular basis.

I've used the K-30 twice now on days out to test it in the field so to speak. I have to say that I'm not disappointed with it either. For me this is effectively a mini K-5 with regards to image quality which is very important to me. I thought that without the top screen and exterior metering dial I'd be struggling but I've got used to it and the two control wheels help enormously. I've also noticed a vast improvement in the AF over the K-5 which benefits my style of photography. The weather proofing is also superb and if you can stretch to it opt for the 18-135mm lens. I'm using this as well as a DA 55-300mm set-up and for me that covers most focal lengths on a day out when I want to travel light. With the blue body I'm hardly going to be discreet :-) but at the time this was the only body available and there was an offer on this as well.

So to sum up my review this is an excellent mid-level DSLR and it will deliver fantastic images and if like me you've been used to more advanced models you will quickly adapt to the spec & handling of this body. The weather proofing is a big bonus and providing you're using a weather sealed lens then you should be able to use the K-30 in almost any kind of British weather!

The only negative point for me is that the battery life of the Pentax battery doesn't allow for many shots (not me anyway). It's a good idea to either buy a spare or the AA battery adapter so you've always got an alternative battery supply on hand with you.

All in all I highly recommend the K-30.

Full featured SLR camera with all the functions. 16 megapixels, and you can't beat the price as it comes with two kit lenses which are quite adequate for most amateur photographers. I bought a Sigma 50 mm Macro lens and a ring flash for doing macro photography, and it works great. SLR's are more complex and take time to master, but they are so much more versatile than digital point and shoots. It also takes wonderful movies in low light.

does everything I want at a low price only negative is I was getting memory errors changed sd card if it comes back so does the camera

Great camera. Easy to use and the photos are clear. You can do lots with this camera. We'll worth the money. Love it.

Great Camera, image quality is Sick! SORRY- Nikon and Cannon Lambs, Pentax gets it down quietly and with so many lenses to use new or legacy glass.....either way you can not go wrong.

Oh. My. Goodness! What an absolutely wonderful camera the K5-ii is proving to be....

Picture quality is superb. Usability seemed fairly daunting at first, but having the enclosed mini-manual by my side as a reference point, has been a great aid in my becoming accustomed to the camera and all the features it has to offer.

Everything about the camera is just wonderful. Ergonomically and technically, the camera has proved a joy to use. It is feature packed as all reviewers who have done their research, before or after purchase, will testify to.

A truly magical development of photographic design.... I can highly recommend this camera to photo enthusiasts at all levels of competency. If you are a beginner then you will enjoy honing your interest with this camera. If you are an experienced dslr user, then this camera will further enhance your joy in the art of photography. Guaranteed...!!!

Good entry-level DSLR.

The instructions are in FRENCH so it's been pretty much a case of learn-as-you-go and I am sure that there are many functions that we are not taking advantage of because of this. However, as a piece of kit, it's a good camera - just be prepared to invest heavily in French lessons so that you can read about it.

Wow - what a great camera! I finally decided to transition from my old Pentex K-1000 to a DSLR. Yeah, I know, but I really was resistant to give up film. It has all the functionality and capabilities I wanted - at a great price.

Get a whole lot more camera for a lot less bucks. Pentax has layed out a sturdy, slightly smaller camera body with controls and options on par with the upper level cameras - in an intuitive mix between Nikon and Camera set ups. Easy to use, kit lens 18-135 is weather sealed, quiet and adept. Unless you need stellar video with mike-in or a full-frame camera, this is a great choice. Solid DSLR, which leaves you with more cash to spend on lenses and accessories. Pentax's lenses span the decades and and are almost all compatable with this camera. Tamron and Sigma also produce some excellent options. All in all, this camera is great as an entry DSLR for a photographer who wants to learn and grow into the field. One day, I may realize I need to move on to a full-frame camera (Pentax doesn't make one..yet), but for now, I'm toting my K50 around with a smile.

I brought this as an upgrade to my Pentax K10D, wow what an upgrade, colour definition is much better, exposure is spot on if you use the white balance exposure settings, the detail is splendid, I also brought the battery grip and two extra batteries and it's an absolute joy to use. I can't praise it highly enough

I am not camera savvy so I graduated from my Coolpix auto zoom with apprehension. I did my research and decided on the Pentax over the Nikon (they seemed very close) mainly for cosmetic reasons. Upon first powering up it was a little intimidating but I took time and read the manual while playing around with it. I love the fact that if I think I have messed up the Menu button just sends me back home. The picture quality is beautiful and for my purposes easy to use. It is apparent that the more experienced photographer will enjoy this also. It has so much more than I would ever use.

This looks, feels and is, a quality product. The clarity of the LCD Monitor and photo's is superb.
I was very impressed by the detailed layout in the instructional manual.

I would recommend this camera to anyone starting to take photography serious.

My one regret is that I did not buy the 50-200WR twin lens kit with my initial purchase.

Could not be happier taking fantastic pictures again. Camera is everything and more than I hoped for. Easy to use, easy to set up.

I should have done my homework a bit more before buying this camera. If your primary use is going to be for still shots, by all means....get this camera.

But, if you are looking for a good budget DSLR camera for video, I don't think you will be too happy with the K500. Images are are jittery, and suffer from excessive rolling shutter effects (straight lines become diagonal during camera movement).

It's a perfect compliment to my Nikon D3200, I've used a taking a few nature shots, and it's as good as my nikon, plus it's weather sealed and that why I got it. Will get real test in a week or so when I take it to the coast. It's what I wanted and more.

Finally I upgraded my old Pentax DSLR to something more up-to-date.

At first I had a lot of trouble getting it to work in 'AUTO' mode - it just didn't seem to work properly. But then I found a firmware update on the Pentax/Ricoh site, and now it's working fine.

Results so far have been impressive and I get positive feedback on my pictures. I know the camera is part of that success.

Great filters, I use them on my Pentax K-30 and they have opened up a whole new world of photo styles for me.

The camera is small and ruggedly constructed. Well suited to fast action photography. Controls are conveniently located and easy to use. I would have preferred to have a lock on the mode control dial. 6400 ISO performance is amazing. Menus are extensive and mostly intuitive. The features and modes are more than most people will ever use. I am very disappointed that some of the manufacturer supplied accessories had been removed from the box: Owner instruction manual, Pentax battery and charger. I believe this is a HIGHLY unethical practice.

I got this to replace a previous Pentax so I had lenses. Everything is better including the speed of turning on which is practically instantaneous. I also like the option of using AA lithium batteries although you do have to spen

I've had this camera for over a month and love it! A professional photographer recommended it to me and at first I was a little hesitant because it was hard to find in stores and it wasn't as popular as Canon or Nikon models. But I'm very happy I went with a Pentax. It's the first time I've bought a DSLR and so far, it's been pretty easy to use. I'm still playing around with some of the settings, but overall, it's been great. I had been using a Canon Rebel (that I basically had inherited) and this takes MUCH better pictures. Brighter colors, better flash, faster, etc. My main purpose of this camera is to take photos for my child's elementary school yearbook and I'm really impressed by how they look so far. It has a lot of great filters and effect settings and I find the menu is easy to use. I also love that it's weatherproof. A previous point and shoot camera that I had ended up getting dust inside and became unusable. I would highly recommend!

I love this new camera! I have not learned everything that it will do yet, but I can honestly say it is super easy to learn on.

I've already used this to gather source material in France for a new project. The images saved as DNG's were absolutely stunning.

I haven't bought a DSLR since I bought the Pentax istD as I've been waiting for them to produce a model that delivers more than 20MP.

That was 8 years ago but it was worth the wait.

Good camera but not as much as I was expecting .... I'm enjoying the fact that I'm trying a new brand of camera. I started with a pentax but I've been using canon since then. I don't know if I would buy another pentax ....

This is my first DSLR camera. I've had a difficult time giving up my Mamiya DSX1000, which still works great and although I'm still an amateur, I wanted a suitable replacement for the old Mamiya, but didn't want to spend a lot of money. I decided after a fair amount of research to go with the Pentax K30 due to the weather sealing, although the kit lenses are not weather sealed, which is a bit ridiculous. The fact that you can use any k-mount lens with the K30 was also a factor in my decision. It was easy for me to start taking great pictures right off the bat and the Silkypics Developer, which came with it is also easy to use and allows you to custom develop your RAW photos.The camera is a lot lighter than the Mamiya and feels just as good in your hands. It is also a good deal right now, because it has been replaced by the K50, which isn't much of an upgrade. I think I'll be using the K30 for a long time.

I bought this after reviews on the web, and I'm not disappointed. It's a great camera built like a tank, non of this polycarbonate rubbish, so it can take knocks. It has all the bells and whistles of a high end dslr at a fraction of their price. So all in all a fine camera, and the 18-135mm lens us good too.

This camera was recommended to me by a photographer who agreed that the price was very reasonable for a starter DSLR. I have loved using it so far and am still learning about all the things that it can do (especially as the instructions are in French!)

Every camera brand has its pros and cons. Pentax makes cameras that are often weather sealed, comfortable to handle, have great picture quality, reliable and have in-body camera shake reduction which means lenses can be more affordable. The K-30 fits this summary perfectly. The successor, the K-50, is very comparable but has a slightly more conservative styling.

The K-30 is a joy to use. For the price-range it has a lot of useful features. Picture quality is excellent though nowadays you are more often than not limited by the lens you use rather than the camera (not to mention your own skill). It lacks a few convinces of the more expensive K-5 (or K-5 II) but nothing I personally miss, especially considering the price gap.

If there is a weakness to this camera - and basically all Pentax camera's - it is that they are photography orientated, not video. There are no dedicated video buttons, no external microphone input, etc. But I bought this DSLR to take pictures and as a camera for photographer there is not a weakness to be found.

If you get a K-30 and one of the many great Pentax lenses (the DA 40mm Limited or DA 40mm XS are a good start), there is nothing to stop you from taking gorgeous pictures for years to come.

First of all, an admission: I have only had small digital cameras before this (point and click type where it is all done for you) so I was quite daunted when first faced with learning about, and ultimately reviewing a camera genre (DSLR) I knew little to nothing about.
When this arrived I was more than impressed - this is simply fantastic. A heavy feeling camera, which is virtually indestructible (apart from the lens, obviously);a total of 77 waterproof seals for virtually weatherproof photos for even the clumsiest of camera users; 16.2 megapixels for crisp clear pictures; a body shake reduction feature for people like myself who struggle to hold a camera in one position for the required exposure length; ergonomically perfect design for my hands with all the buttons in the right places so I can intuitively select the right functions; an easy to understand menu system on the rear lcd screen ,with a smaller screen on top to check any other required settings prior to taking your shot; 'green' modes for new users to get to grips with the camera, and then what appears at first a quite overwhelming number of different features to select.
After reading the manual (about 250 pages), looking at books and magazines, speaking to other DSLR users and also online, I now have a good understanding of exposure, shutter speeds, aperture settings etc. and I am managing to produce some excellent results using the supplied 18-55mm lens. I have invested in a lens cover and will be purchasing a few other lenses and filters for projects I would like to try but am finding that the results produced are superb after a bit of trial and error. I apologise that I am unable to report on a large number of the functions at present but will edit this review once I have mastered the art a little better, but I cannot think of a better camera to use to help me on my journey.

Additional Information: I have now had a few weeks practicing to understand the basics and am now able to produce fantastic results, I have taken family photos, wildlife photos and scenic ones and am very impressed with all of them.

It's a well made camera, has all of the modern features. I've noticed it does sometimes think quite a lot before taking a photo, but nothing too extreme.

I would rate it 4.8/5

There is no seller feedback area for me so I guess this has to come via product. This product may, or may not be, good. I can't tell as the manual is written in French yet the seller is based in Italy. This is tedious in the extreme but not the end of the world. I will comment on the camera when I figure it out.

Product came exactly as described and it's a good one. The wired cap is much useful, and everything comes in a nice pouch.

I've purchased two used K-5's on Amazon both with descriptions saying the camera was in "like new" condition. BOTH cameras were defective. The first one a button didn't work and the second does this violent shake thing when in live view mode (not every time it's turned on but enough to prove it's defective). I have to pay for the return shipping for both of them adding 60$ to a camera I could barely afford in the first place.

I am very pleased with this camera. There was no charger included, although the description and manual suggest there should have been. Because of the bad reviews given for the manufacturer's charger and battery, I bought a different one and am happy with that. Overall I would recommend this camera to anyone who wants wonderful color rendering and ease of use.

Long time Pentax user but first digital buy. Controls are user friendly. Got outstanding Grand Canyon shots w/o even looking at the manual. I can't think of anything I don't like.

still learning buts its an amazing camera. Works exactly as depicted. vibrant colors and great clarity. Good that I bought this after reviewing canon and others.

I HAVE HAD A PENTAX Kr for two years and remembered why I had more than one body in my 35mm. days and then saw this kit the K-500. Both kits had lenses DAL 18-55mm with K-500, and the K-r had two which included a DAL 50-200mm so with 2 short zooms and one longer one plus a SIGMA 18-200MM. plus 35mm 2.4 fixed lens which I tried with new K-500, what a surprise in quality that was, so if you buy a K-500 and can afford another lens get a prime lens of 35mm. I am not qualified to give a full review on either system but can say I'm more than satisfied with both systems and not being able to take them out in rain is not a problem I never could in 35mm days. .

After nearly two weeks of on-and-off usage some first impressions...
Pro: very good image quality up to ISO3200/6400; rugged; fast and mostly reliable AF; many and flexible settings; efficient handling; ISO priority mode;
Con: battery life mediocre at best; noisy shutter; live view and viewfinder measurements (for AF and exposure) not always in agreement; manual sometimes too terse;

A couple of (cheap) spare batteries are a must; the AA battery holder is probably also not a bad idea, especially when shooting off the beaten track.

I will edit this with a more complete review once I've used the camera for a while.

And yes... it is indeed VERY red though not exactly the Ferrari red I'd expected.
