Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Pentax K-1 Mark II Kit

Firstly, this camera has a lot of good things to it and I genuinely wish Pentax great future - unlike the big two (Canon and Nikon) they put more emphasis on R&D than on marketing.

Downsides;
1.In this particular model there is autofocusing issue acknowledged by Pentax. The issue was not resolved and the customers not offered redress. Shame.
2.Recently the lens release button on my k-r...just fell out. I did not subject the camera to any abuse so this suggest that there is a design problem here. Looking at forums it appears that newer "k" models have similar issue.

Upsides:
1.The k-r and many subsequent models are compatible with the pentax GPS unit which gives you one great feature - Startracer. Basically the unit determines your location and allows for reasonably sharp night sky images to be taken without extra equipment. It uses the built-in sensor stabilisation mechanism to follow the moving sky during long exposure times required for taking pictures of the stars.
2.I got my set for great price and given that the kit lenses are good value. recently added Pentax DA 55-300 and delighted with the quality if this lens.
3.pentax cameras tend to be backwards compatible with older lenses which gives you a lot of flexibility.
4.Pentax tends to give more value for your money (as long as there are not quality control issues as described above).
5.As I mentioned above they seem to work hard on introducing genuinely new ideas in their products and very little on marketing. This is how business should be done rather then spending large chunks of the revenue on heavy marketing like their competitors do.

currently I am looking at getting Pentax k-3 but this will be largely dependant on how pentax handles my complaint about the fallen off lens release button.

Pentax have aimed this DSLR at the newcomer in this area, but rest assured professional results are obtainable from this camera.

Comparing the K30 body to it's bigger brother, the K-5 II it is around a 3rd smaller in physical size and a little lighter in weight, there are a few less buttons than the K-5 II but it not a detriment to the functions offered by this camera. The body fits very nicely into the hand and its rubberised hand grip makes for a sturdy grip.

I charged the supplied battery up and then found a spare SD card I had laying around and booted the camera up, usual setting are required on start-up(time/date/timezone), the menus are great - clear and concise and very user friendly.

On the weekend of receiving this camera we went to the touring car championships at Donington park, so this was the ideal chance to put the K30 through it's paces, I took around 550 shots with the K30 and the battery was near empty, not bad at all really, also you can use AA type batteries(with adapterHahnel AA Battery Holder for Pentax K-r/K-30 DSLR Cameras) in this camera as well, I think this is a great idea but will cost extra, a second battery would probably be a better and cheaper option.Maxsima - Battery for Pentax, K30, K-30, K-R, KR, K2, K-2, D-Li109, DI109. 1154mAh- fully compatible.

I was using a Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 Macro DG Lens For Pentax Digital & Film SLR Cameras for most of the shooting I did at Donington and I have been astonished with the results, even in auto mode results are crisp and clear with vibrant colours, playing around in program mode (P) yet again produces stunning results, seeing as cars were passing at 100mph+ I was even more impressed, focusing is lightening quick and shutter lag in none existent, continuous shooting is around 6/7 frames a second , the low light capability of the K30 is excellent with an ISO range of 100-12500 in normal user mode, this can be extended to 25600 in manual modes. The K30 is simple to use and unlike it's bigger brother, the K-5 MKII would be less daunting to a novice.

I have uploaded a few of the photos taken at the Donington meet, Sunday was sunny/overcast with a little rain in the afternoon, I'll let the photo's speak for themselves!!

The K30 has a number of scene settings, these are automatically selected according to photo you are taking, but these can be selected by the user in SCN (scene) mode, other modes include program, user 1, user 2, Bulb, full manual, Tav(shutter & aperture priority), Av(aperture priority), Tv (shutter priority), Sv(sensitivity priority) and a full HD video mode, although this will eat your memory card up in no time and sound is in mono.

Build quality of the K30 looks OK, but one thing that I would criticise is the battery compartment cover, this is a simple push latch that could easily be caught and result in the battery compartment coming open, I much prefer the twist and lock type closure. The body on the K30 is water resistant, a great feature for shooting outdoors but remember the supplied lens is NOT water tight.

The K30 comes with a Pentax 18-55mm DAL lens, adequate for beginners and produces quality images, I would recommend a longer lens for outdoor/wildlife/sport shots(see lens above).

If you want quality photo's then the K30 is a winner, for a beginner it will be a pleasure to use, excellent ease of use (even if you just use point and shoot mode) delve deeper and the Pentax K-30 is a great photographers tool and will be a welcome addition in anyone's kit bag.

It was a rough day when I finally decided to upgrade my inherited Pentax ME Super. Of course I'd shot on other digital cameras before, but never a Pentax DSLR. I HAD to have a Pentax since my library of lenses are Pentax K Mount manual focus lenses anywhere between 30-40 years old and Pentax has generously made their cameras backwards compatible.

Knowing the limitations of a Pentax (minor ones that are easily corrected in camera), I opted for the K-30 as it seemed to be the perfect balance between my beloved ME Super and the latest tech. It took some fiddling around to get the settings where I wanted them, and the K-30 almost color balances too warm for my taste (nothing the programmed settings can't fix), but the images are spectacular. Crisp and beautiful. You get to be in charge of a lot of variables and I like that a lot.

My only regret was paying the extra for the kit lenses. I've used them maybe once. My older lenses work beautifully and, as some of my older lenses are f1.8 and f2.2, whereas the kit lenses are, at best, something like, f4.5, you can see why I'm partial to my lenses.
These older lenses never came with the advantage of auto focus and you can't have that option now with them, but I don't care. You also have to shoot in manual with the older lenses, which is fine. If you're scared to shoot in manual, the K-30 has a button to help you with a starting point.
Using newer DSLR lenses affords you the ease of autofocus and all the other auto settings at the expense of some f stops unless you are willing to pay extra for faster lenses.
All in all it's a great camera and I prefer the images I get to a Nikon or Canon any day.

I love Pentax cameras and this one is no exception.
It takes great photos in automatic mode. It has many other pre-set modes as well. If you are a camera buff with some experience, it allows you to adjust the settings to suit your own creativity.
It also does a good job when taking videos. In short, this is a camera worth owning.

This camera is definitely not worth the money, considering there are Nikon's in the same price range that perform a lot better. I was drawn in by the features, the high ISO, the fact that it came with 2 lenses, built-in videos, etc. After taking this on a trip to NYC, and doing a lot of night shots, which is my thing, I was very quick to notice that all higher ISO images (800+) came out VERY grainy. I attempted night videos in rather well lit areas (Time Square) with the same grainy results, even though I kept the ISO rather low. Another problem is the auto focus, which is a one time thing when shooting video (ie. it focuses before you start filming, once you start and your subject moves, you zoom, or move the camera, it does not refocus to the shot). This can be a pain if you are attempting to film anything that is not at a stationary focal length.

This is good for a beginner who maybe only shoots in daylight but wants to 'feel' like they're a photographer, but this is not something anyone with some skill would want to touch.

So, of course, when I go to make good on Amazon's return policy, it conveniently says that I cannot return it because it was too late, though it was before 30 days. I have spent the last week or so trying to get a hold of someone, but now, Im just giving up on trying to get my money back and considered this a lesson learned about shopping on Amazon.

nice camera at the price beats the big names ibboth in terms of features and image quality.I used nikon and canon unto getting this as a backup it works as it should fast auto focus and god se of features i will get the k3 when funds allow pleased with pentax wen wort considering if looking for a good rugged water sealed work horse with good images to boot

I bought this camera yesterday at a local camera shop for £260, and as an upgrade from my cheap compact, this does its job perfectly. It's got great image quality, and you get used to it very quickly. I would definitely recommend this, but not from Amazon until the price drops below £400

I did a lot of research before making this purchase, which was to replace a very disappointing point and shoot Nikon. I had been waiting for the price on DSLR cameras to come down to a level where it made sense to make the leap. I realized during the research process that every camera I considered buying or have used in my life, I still compare to the sweetest camera I own, which is the Pentax ME Super, circa 1980. So I was interested and excited to find this Pentax/Ricoh entry level DSLR, at a very competitive price compared to similar Canon and Nikon models. And I was really happy that my old and very nice Pentax lenses were compatible and could be used on this camera in manual mode. The first time I picked it up I knew I had made the right decision. I was finally holding a real camera --beautiful balance and feel, a crystal clear optical viewfinder. Boy, had I been missing the ability to hold the camera up to my eye and frame a photograph. The standard lens that comes with the camera is a cut above --amazing bokeh effect even in autofocus mode. I won't give a technical rundown because others have done a fine job, and much better than I can. I will say that the only issue I was concerned about was the 16 megapixels, when other entry level DSLRs have 18 or 20. I've been completely happy with my photographs, however, and frankly wouldn't want the data storage issues with super-high megapixel files. The Pentax K-50 is a great buy for anyone looking to get into a DSLR and its features and quality may make it the only camera you will ever need.

Everyone can read the technical specs and get resolutions and feature set... so I'm going to focus on feel. For those in love with photography - how a camera feels in your hands is big.

I purchased this for my daughter who turned 14 - and loves photography - her next step from a nikon cool pics and iphone photography. Opening the compartments for battery and memory and plugs all have a nice solid connection feel. You can hear and feel the rubber gaskets making you confident it is cold proof and dust/dirt proof and shock resistant.

The camera has a perfect weight to it - enough to make you steadier but not to heavy. The buttons all have a "free" movability but not loose. Meaning it feels like quality.

Securing the lens in - is snug, effortless and tight.

This may sound silly but the shutter sounds confident and responsive.
I have always been myself a Nikon user - but "white" had my daughters attention and I have to say - the camera is aesthetically awesome - a nice matte finish gives it this finished industrial sturdy look but the white is classic and clean looking.

The response on auto focus is quick - the menus intuitive with bracketing options and dials really comfortable so you don't have to take your eye out of the lens viewer. Which is a must have but the LCD screen view is nice for other times.

The camera feels nothing but incredibly durable, comfortable, responsive and strong with a great classic feel with it's white color.

Bought as a replacement for my ageing K20D that had developed a sensor problem. Only been out with it for a couple of days so far, using a standard (DA 18-55 WR) zoom and an HD DA 35 f2.8 macro, but results with both are excellent. The focusing and metering in full auto seem very hard to fool. For small neat camera it is very easy to handle even with my big paws. I was worried by the dire warnings in the manual about non-Pentax flashes, but a bit of research established that my old Metz 32Z1 (4.5v trigger) was ok to use in manual mode.

Looking forward to a break in a couple of weeks when I'll have more chance to explore its capabilities. Thinking about picking up a HD DA 70 f2.4 if I can sneak it into the house past Mrs.Tikka.

This is a great Camera kit and I managed to buy it when the price was really good plus I have sent off the docs for a £40 cash back from Pentax. As a complete ameteaur photographer, into around my 4th or 5th week with the camera, I am already taking some great shots. It is very easy to use and has plenty of really useful features particularly for beginners. I am trying to avoid as much as possible the autoshoot where it does absolutely everything in setting up the shot automatically because if I was going to do that I only needed a point and shoot camera. Exploring all the other options is great fun and a massive learning curve. If you are new, like me, to DSLR photography and you want to learn to do it properly you wont go wrong with this camera.

I recently upgraded to the Pentax K-3 from a couple of aging Canon DSLRs (40D and 50D).

The feature list is very strong, comparable to Canon and Nikon cameras that are far more expensive - high resolution sensor (24 MP in this case), weather sealing, 100% viewfinder and twin card slots all being important for me. There are some nice 'fun' features too, such as integrated intervalometer (letting you shoot time-lapse sequences or videos) and multiple exposure shooting.

I find the button layout and the menus very intuitive - better than Canon and far better than Nikon, and the grip extremely comfortable. The low-light (high ISO) performance is very strong - from what I've seen it's rather better than the latest Canon 7D mk II, and the images produced have great colour definition and shadow details. Noise, when it appears, is relatively unobtrusive - certainly more attractive than what I've seen from Canon sensors. I've found the autofocus performance a little on the slow side, and while it does keep up with my needs I don't think I'd want to rely on it for shooting sports.

The K-3 has also given a new lease of life to some old manual lenses from my Dad's Chinon film SLR, which fit directly onto the K-3 without an adapter. The sensor-based shake reduction system means shooting with these lenses handheld can potentially get sharper images than ever.

+ Fantastic image quality
+ Fast and accurate auto-focus in most situations including low light (system could be better at tracking focus)
+ Extremely sturdy build quality and weather-sealing
+ Easy to use but also plenty of advanced features and controls
+ Stellar lenses
+ Extremely comfy to hold
+ Decent low-light performance, usable shots at ISO 1600 and even 3200 in most cases
+ Good resolution sensor
+ Quiet shutter
+ Fast burst mode great for capturing sports/movement

- Video is just about adequate but no where near as good as competitors, photos are this camera's strong point
- Not the most attractive camera, though it feels premium

Owned since January 2014, my first DSLR. Extremely happy with my purchase and I intend to continue using Pentax systems. I have been using it with the weather resistant 18-55mm kit lens and a Sigma 30mm F1.4 Art lens. The camera performs fantastically with both lenses.

I would consider myself an intermediate photographer now and the dual dials (front and back) are so useful for manual modes. Although I am confident technically now, I was a beginner when I bought this camera and - with the help of some online resources and books - this camera was ideal for learning. Even if you don't intend to learn the technical aspects of photography and just want something that will churn out high quality images every time, this camera should be ideal. I often put it in full auto mode to hand to friends or family and the camera produces great quality images simply from them pressing the shutter (though of course no amount of auto modes can fix composition/framing).

An all round good camera with more features for the money than it's rivals from Canon and Nikon. However, do consider Canon and Nikon if you intend to upgrade to full frame in the future as Pentax does not offer a full frame body at the moment.

This is my 2nd pentax dslr camera was always impressed with my last one thjs one is also a great product. The level gauge in the view finder is good. The camera is quick but perhaps a little loud on it shutter. Wish the aa battery holder had been included in the price but the supplied recharable battery seems to be good and long lasting bearing in mind it powering a fairly large screen as well which is really easy to read even in bright light.

This impressive piece of kit continues Pentax's return to form which started with the excellent K-5. It's similar in some ways with it's weather resistant magnesium body but has some interesting improvements.

The first is a 24MP sensor (made by Sony) which delivers resolution on par with the very best lenses available for APS-C (at about 3600LPH for the more technical reader)and manages to have noise levels close to those of the K-5's, which are still class leading.

The second is a moire filter that can be switched on and off; it's achieved by vibrating the sensor to slightly blur the image and works beautifully.

The in built image stabilisation, which also works by moving the sensor, seems a tiny bit better than the very good K-5's.

Next is the faster AF and increased number of AF sensor points and the claimed 8 frames per second shooting speed (I make it about 7.5 fps in practise). Shutter noise is reduced compared to many of it's rivals.

Controls have been reorganised slightly and ergonomics are good, making it a delight to handle and shoot with. The screen is a bit larger; being 3:2 ratio rather than the 4:3 of the K-5 and most current Nikons and Canons and the processor is more powerful so operations such as reviewing a stored image happen very quickly, with no perceptible lag. Storage has been improved with two SD card slots - a feature of pro DSLRS.

As always with Pentax, the K-3 is backwards compatible with almost all Pentax lenses made since the late 70s.

Mine appears to have no bugs or problems and feedback from other users on the internet suggests that Pentax (now owned by Ricoh) have got it right from the start, rather than launching a half-finished product onto the market.

The only things missing some people might want, is a tiltable or vari-angled rear screen and built-in Wi-Fi compatibility. I'm undecided about these as I owned a Panasonic micro 4/3 G3 body with a vari-angle screen and, in practise, rarely folded out the screen and now own a Sony NEX 5R with wifi, a tiltable screen and the ability to link to a tablet and rarely use these facilities either (Both these cameras have their uses, being very light and compact, but cannot match the picture quality of the K-3).

One does wonder where Ricoh Pentax can go from here, as they are closing in on the limits of resolution and noise reduction for this size of sensor as defined by various laws of physics and optics. Perhaps better dynamic range (The ability to pull detail out of very dark and very bright parts of the same image) will be the next big target, although the K-3's dynamic range is already pretty good.

In conclusion: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED...

A Great Camera came with 2 Lenes, the instruction book is a lot to read and take in, but they is a lot of extras on this camera....

Very red images, tried everything to fix it but its the camera. fortunately amazon service was great and I exchanged it for a Canon which is great.

A great camera for the price. A bit heavier than some of the opposition but feels very solid to use. One reason I chose it was because it claims to be weather resistant and I've had it out in the rain without any issues. Like the fact that you can buy an adapter and use AA batteries to power it should the battery run down. Very handy.

Compared to my Nikon D3300, I prefer this camera for most of my photography. It may lose out on megapixels but it's a joy to use and I'm very happy with the results. Both kit lenses seem pretty good and it's weather sealing makes a huge difference in Scotland.

I purchased this camera after my old nikon d 3000 gave way. Initially I was looking for mirrorless vs DSLR. Things that tilted me towards DSLR was,
I have used it before I know how a DSLR works
Choices of lenses are far more and it includes not only lenses from same company but Sigma, Tamron etc
Choices range in the price bracket

Then I looked for many nikon camera as I have nikon lenses, I specifically looked at D 5200 as only body was almost the same price range as this camera. But I choose this camera as
It has a image stabilization and some of you might think that lenses have Vibration reduction but its not same. There is still blurriness with VR but with image stabilization I won't say it's totally gone but it's minimal. I have a 3 month old son so the first pic's that I clicked from this camera were perfect, crystal clear.
Has a larger view finder
Weather proof
I have not takes any video yet so will update on that but I am a fan of still photography and I don't care about videos.
I have attached one pic with slow shutter speed clicked at dusk.

Arrived on time and packed well, once battery was charged I found the camera very comfortable to handle, photos taken were sharp and image very colourful, like the real item, found the auto focus noisey but got use to it after a while, instructions book is a bit long winded but have learnt alot by 'playing' with its functions. The camera is what I expected and have no regrets on my purchase.

I have used Pentax DSLR cameras since the ist*DS. This is by far the best of the bunch.

At first glance it is indistinguishable from the K7 I had before but the screen is obviously larger. The excellent button and switch placement hasn't been needlessly meddled with, which is a good thing. The menu tree is also familiar with a few extra features here and there.

Someone familiar with anything back to a K20 will find this easy to pick up and use without any great problem.

For those new to the DSLR market here's what you get. You get a massively improved and accurate autofocus. This thing is very fast indeed if you are lucky enough to have one of the newer generation of HSM lenses. Even with the older lenses this is quick. All the obvious modes are there. Pattern, spot and selective.

Metering is great and you get similar versatility to the autofocus. Bracketing and manual compensation is simple to set up without resorting to menus.

This is a product you quickly realise has been designed by people who actually use cameras and listen to their customers. The controls are there for you to use from switches or an intelligently designed fast menu.

Water resistance that actually works (with compatible lenses) is a genuine plus point. This is not a gimmick. You can genuinely use this in a downpour.

This camera at the moment is superb value for money. I thorougly recommend it.

Lovely bit if kit. This bundle was more competively priced than other cameras kits Amazon carry. Order at 8 in the evening, it was in the locker by 10 the next morning. Amazing.

I'm relatively new to DSLR cameras. But based off the reviews here and elsewhere I took the plunge on the K-50. When i received my first K-50, I unboxed it and checked everything out, I found that the lithium battery and charger were not in the box. I checked the Amazon and Pentax sites - they both showed them to be included. I also checked a few youtube unboxing videos and they all showed them included.It did come with the AA battery adapter, so I started using the camera. It works great.

I contacted Pentax support. After a few days with no response, I contacted Amazon to see how they wanted to handle it. Amazon over-nighted another K-50 to me. This was great... except the new camera had less than the first.The second camera was missing the instruction manuals, serial# cards and more importantly - the lithium battery and charger.

A few days later, Pentax replies with a different email address for me to send my inquiry to(why they couldn't forward it is beyond me). I email the new address with the new information that now 2 cameras were received and still no batteries/chargers. I promptly receive this reply: "The K-50 should have come with a D-Li109 lithium battery and BC109 charger kit included in the package from the dealer. It sounds like the dealer Amazon is using may be selling grey market cameras. However, our corporate office will mail you a battery and charger kit if you reply with your full US mailing address."

I immediately replied with my shipping address. That was 02/25/14... As of 03/26/14, Pentax has still not shipped me a battery and charger like they said they would.

Due to being out of town for work, I missed my cutoff for returning the camera. so I am going to keep it. On the flipside, Amazon has 2 aftermarket lithium batteries with a charger for ~$25. So I guess I'll be ordering those.
