Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Pentax K-1 Mark II Kit

I find it easy to use, a great camera for the price & a good lense. The anti shake setting seems to work well which is great in low light levels

This is without doubt a little gem.
Autofocus , Iso level, extra dials to set exposure and aperture.100% viewfinder! Weatherproof, and also the image quality is very good and much improved over previous Pentax cameras like k-x which I also own.
Was going to go Nikon d7000 route but this is just as good and much cheaper!
Very happy with this little shooter !

So I've had the Pentax K-5 nearly 2 years now. I've done a ton of art shows displaying work across the Midwest and after people spend time in my booth, the question seems to always come up...Nikon or Canon... When I tell them these images where taken with a Pentax K-5, the response is always the same.. Pentax?? I just smile and say ya it's a Pentax:) The sensor brings light to the image that Canon or Nikon misses. Granted, the auto focus is slow, and maybe the lens selection lacks some, but the images are really good. I've gone as big as 24X36 with no problem and the images are tack sharp. Shooting DA* glass may help. I think for the photographer that wants the most features for the $, Pentax is the brand to look at!

I have gone through various SLR and DSLR in my life, and just upgraded from my Pentax K10D (DSLR) to this model, and do not regret it at all.... I am wondering, what took me so long! It has all the great functions and characteristics I have come to learn and get used to on my old DSLR (Pentax K10D), such as the weather seals, which have got me through some dire straits and breath-holding moments when it fell into a metro deep snow in the Alps, operated over 4 thousand metres altitude and dewy fog in the Andes, and water spray from boating in the Amazon - all without a second of functionality loss or memory/capture loss. Just wipe it clean, and back to business. This new model has the same concept, but some great new features: much faster AF, with precise and crispy clear images, allied to a much higher ISO operating band: the camera boasts ISO 51200, however, if you use 1600 and have perfect pictures, that is already positive point very difficult to beat. The shutter is much quieter, allowing you to make pictures inside a museum or church, or during a classical performance, without making yourself unduly noticed, unlike my previous camera. The additional grip also allows you to use standard AA batteries, which you can find from the Amazon to India without worries, especially when "on the move". It also allows you to register movies in HD, and use "live view" when making your pictures, with on-line histogram readout, helping you with focus and lighting before you even click. All in all: if you are adventurous and a traveler, and need a resistant, all-rounder, that will be ready at your fingertips for any situation, this is the camera! It is like a Land Rover, or Swiss Army knife: not the fastest, not the most luxurious, but will get the job done in any condition! I highly recommend it, unless you are into studio, or any very specific field of photography! With the robustness of the Pentax K family, and the brains of the digital medium format (drivers, engines and electronic perks), it might look expensive at first, but when you pick it out of the snow or brush off the water spray and dust, and it is business as usual, the price becomes a bargain!Pentax K-5 16.3 MP Digital SLR with 3-Inch LCD (Black Body Only)

Just got my camera yesterday and I am in love!! It is a great camera!! Received the package at night, and went out to take some great night shots!!!
Everything is in working order and it is really easy to use. The modes are easy to pick up and the scene mode options are great!! Best mid-range DSLR
you could buy on the market right now!!

I used the camera on a backcountry skiing activity and it performed very well even when sleek was wetting all my equipment

I had a K20D prior to buying the K5 as an upgrade. The K5 is really a high performance camera. The higher ISO with minimal image noise is exceptional and is a very valuable part of this camera. The image quality is excellent, including great color and sharpness. This camera is very well constructed, user friendly, and renders excellent results. Significant quality for the price. Pentax has made an excellent tool by producing this camera. I am very satisfied. As an addition to my review I just wanted to make this comment about unloading SD cards from the camera. When you go to get your SD card out of the slot, hold down on the card with your finger, then sort of let it go quick to allow it to spring out more than it would otherwise. It pops up enough for you to grab it.

I have had my K-5 for about 2 months now, and I love it. This is my fifth DSLR. I used to hang around in the beginner type DSLR cameras, but finally decided I need a semi-pro to achieve the type of pictures I wanted. I had a Pentax K-X prior to this one, and it doesn't even compare with the quality of pictures I get from the K-5. I take some of the best low light shots with this camera with literally no noise at ISOs of 1200 and 1600. The pictures of my son playing football and my daughter cheering come out looking great with the fast shutter speed. I highly recommend this camera!!! I have since purchased 5 lens and the image quality I get is beyond amazing. I am no where near pro, but I get a lot of compliments on my sports pictures since getting this camera. It is totally worth the money. Way to go Pentax!

Pentax K-5 is among the top semi-professional DCs, from my personal use.The quality and design of the camera body is just perfect. But the lens quality (FA 50mm and 18-135mm) is on average compared with Canon and Nikon, I would say. The good thing is that you can use the lens correction function in the K-5 to make the photos better for some of its recently developed lenses (such as 18-135mm).I also like the weather sealed body and its most lens series.As a reminder, once you get the new camera, go to their website to update the firmware. The new firmware can increase the camera performance tremendously.By the way, Amazon's service is just great (except for the tax now they collect)!

I upgraded my Pentax body from K20D to K5. What an improvement from the K20D design and performance. I did my research on Amazon, DxOMark, DPReviews and this piece of fine craftsmanship has more bang for your buck than any other camera I've seen.For those looking to buy an entry or mid-level DSLR, you simply cannot get this performance with Canon or Nikon without spending twice as much. The K-5 body makes the other brand cameras feel like they're made by Fisher Price. No offense FP. Fantastic performance in low light ISO!!!

There is very little I can't say positive about this camera. That says a LOT about a product as I'm usually pretty critical. The low noise levels even at very high ISO's are a huge plus compared to my K10D and *istD. The *istD (besides being the worst named product ever) was probably my second favorite of the three and the K10D was a decent camera and an upgrade in many respects, but its larger body size and mediocre low light capabilities didn't outweigh the increased pixel count and feature set.Back to the K-5, it does everything well. It's blindingly fast. The build quality is excellent. I love being able to shoot in the rain with its weather-proof casing. The image quality with a decent lens is stunning even at higher ISO levels (especially if you shoot RAW).The only minor quibbles I have are once in awhile the selective autofocus mode stops being controlled by the 4 way toggle and you have to deselect it and go back or it thinks you want to use the arrows to be in menu mode. The movie mode isn't quite up to snuff compared to some of the other DSLR's. No autofocus or autoaperture during movie mode. I'd love to see a full frame sensor and the price is a touch high compared to some of its competitors. But, for that price you really do get a lot of camera.If you're looking for a semi-pro DSLR, you can't go wrong here. If you have an existing investment in Pentax lenses, it's also difficult to go wrong.

I bought this to replace my K100D body. It is fantastic in low light situations and very quick with 6fps shooting.

Positives:
Very little noise in low light,
Electronic horizontal/vertical horizon axis to line up your shot,
16 M/pixel,
Will run on AA batteries (adapter required),
Comfortable grip,
Live view on LCD panel.

Negative:
No top LCD panel to show current settings

Here's what I like about my new K-5:- Big, bright viewfinder shows 100% of the frame and is easy to use in dim light.- The grip is nice and deep, allowing me to carry it around comfortably even with a heavy lens.- Most settings are a knob twist or one or two button presses away - you don't have to go menu diving very much.- Many controls are just under your right thumb so you don't have to take the camera down from your eye to change them.- When you do need the menu, it's very simple and accessible.- The rear screen is so clear it's actually useful in reviewing DOF.- It's built to last like the old K-1000, while actually being lighter than the K10D it's replacing.- Works with all sorts of lenses, screw drive and supersonic.- Fourteen stops of dynamic range.Here's what I don't like:- The mode selector dial has a locking button that's hard for me to get used to.- The autofocus doesn't operate while shooting video. You must focus before shooting and fine-tune by hand.This SLR camera design was originally built to give the photographer precise control over the camera and the K-5 holds to this tradition. There is very little automation: no scene modes or guide mode. The photographer can adjust aperture or shutter speed just by flicking a dial. A press of the green button re-sets exposure to the program settings.It takes a while to learn everything about this camera, so it's not for beginners. If you're ready to step up from the entry level DSLR, you can't go wrong with this one. If you don't believe me, check out dpreview.com to see what the experts say.

I have another Pentax camera and this K-5 beats the other one hands down. Pictures are great camera is easy to use even for someone like me who is just learning how to do photography. This camera lets me do the work that I really want to do. For me this is a great product.

It's just a k-5 with cheaper case, without the top LCD panel. But it retains its best qualities: an incredible sensor, the weather resistant properties and a fantastic viewfinder. On the plus side, it can be powered with 4 AA batteries with a non included accesory. I bought the Maksina brand one which just does the job.

The only flaw I found so far, a minor one, is that the memory card isn't too easy to extract, due to the rubber sealing of its compartment.

This wide angle lens kit is such a great deal. It works perfectly with the lenses I got with my Pentax K-01. The additional accessories are great too. The lens was a perfect fit and also in perfect condition. It came with a soft carrying case for easy travel.

Great camera especially as it will still use my original film slr lenses.
Easy to use and feels really sturdy.
Arrived two days earlier than expected.

Pentax K-5 is a great camera and should be definitely considered as a good alternative to mainstream brands. If you consider buying a DSLR give this camera a chance. Do not listen to those who say that you'll be stuck with limited choice of lenses or worse shooting range. With quite a few Pentax lenses and an array of Sigma/Tokina ones every possible range is covered. With new specs you'll be fine shooting in various conditions. With weather sealing and strong build you don't have to worry much about your camera and just keep on pressing that button - the guaranteed number of shutter releases is said to be about 100,000.Still, there are some flaws, but on the design side. I also own Samsung GX-10 and no camera has been better from the point of view of back panel design. GX-10 has better buttons, better placed. Besides, GX-10 feels great in big hands like mine and I always feel like it's born with my hands. Pentax lacks this, but since Samsung left the DSLR market and Pentax doesn't suspect about their design errors we are stuck with no choice. If you're ready to throw 200 dollars on top of it, get a battery grip that helps for bigger hands.Anyway, I guess all modern prosumer cameras have some design flaws. This does not shade the fact that Pentax K-5 produces great results. Its LCD-screen is magic - I love my pictures in it even more than on a big screen. The number of effects is impressive - HDR, extended dynamic range, cross-processing. The video is very good too.I would definitely recommend Pentax K-5 both for those who want to try the world of big cameras, and for those who consider changing the camera system. You'll be pleasantly surprised. Be sure to buy high-capacity memory cards though, as files are big: typical JPEG (good quality setting, not the top one) is 5-7MB, while typical DNG RAW is 16-20MB. If you shoot a lot, add an additional battery. I recommend buying the body with weather-sealed Pentax 18-135mm lens - you would rarely want to change it as it covers most needs of a casual photographer, of those on vacation or travelling, and is good in most other situations.

Met all expectations.Lots of useful features and easy to understand software . Managed to use all lens from K100 camera so saved a lot of money

They say that in the real world, you can only choose two from the three options of good, fast and cheap. However, I have found that my Pentax K-30, compared to my old Pentax K-100D, which was also an excellent camera, meets all three criteria.

I bought this for travelling, as it is weather sealed and is described as light and compact(for a dslr)The camera was certainly light, but the build quality felt really cheap, and in the hand it actually felt quite bulky. For the first couple of shots, the shutter locked open, so I probably had a faulty one, and returned it (Amazon prime, brilliant as ever.)Lack of articulated screen a big disadvantage. Just didn't measure up to my sony A55 (or nex5n come to that)so sticking to them on future journeys.Felt very out of date.

This may be a good camera when it isn't defective, but mine arrived with a rear LCD that had a series of black lines of non-functioning pixels over half the LCD. It wasn't one bad pixel or even one line of bad pixels, but at least 20 lines. Either Pentax quality control is essentially non-existent, or the camera was damaged in transit. After the front focus issues on the K10D and now this I am giving up on Pentax.

I did a lot of research before purchasing this DSLR. I was very tempted by the Nikon D7000 but was ultimately swayed by the robust weather-sealing on this model. I have taken my camera out for shoots in very heavy rain with zero issues and it has even taken a couple heart-stopping tumbles down hiking paths and came up with only a minor scratch on the hot shoe. The image quality and dynamic range are amazing for outdoor scenes. I also like that it uses k-mount lenses which can be found for great prices for older manual lenses, so you get a lot of options for lenses on a budget. It also has a built-in intervalometer that I have used many time with great results for time-lapse videos. I would definitely recommend this camera for anyone looking in this price range.

My friend recommended to buy this product instead of Canon or Nikon. The photographs which were taken with K5 are very smooth and clear even though with 18-55 standard Pentax lens. I liked them. K5 is very ergonomic and user friendly. Its software also so easy to use.
