Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Pentax K-1 Mark II Kit

I upgraded from the K-7. K-5 keeps the excellent design, unparralleled build quality, super quiet shutter sound and outstanding ergonomics of K-7, has the best APS-C sensor. High ISO performance is stunning. What worth mentioning is that the Low ISO performance is also outstanding, noticably better than the K-7. Also, the super high Dynamic Range is very helpful. AF speed is not much improved, but much more decisive. For DA* SDM lenses, the speed is not improved at all. All my lenses are SDM, but I find the speeds are fast enough. The AF-C mode is much improved, but can be improved further. The camera is fun to use, I bet everybody who has a K-5 loves it.I'd like to comment on the following two problems:1. stained sensor problem was solved already, all cameras having serial number larger than 3973*** are fine. Basically this problem is now worry free.2. The bad Auto Focus under artificial light condition. I believe this is a relatively unusual problem that happens on a few bodies. Don't be afraid about this, just buy one and try it at home. If it does happen (very little chance), then exchange for a new one.I have hand-on experience of Canon 7D and Nikon D7000, I would say the D7000's image quality (from ISO100 to ISO3200) is on par with K-5, both of which are better than the 7D. 7D's build quality is on par with the K-5 but K-5 is much smaller, D7000 falls behind in this regard.I highly recommend the K-5.

Bought this camera back in May of 2011. It is by far the best camera I have ever own or used (within the price range of course). Other reviews have more technical details, but trust me when I say that the majority of pictures taken with the K5 have never failed to impress my family.

I've only used Canon DSLRs for jobs but I wanted to have one that's small and compact yet built with professional quality(mainly for travel). I was totally new to Pentax DSLR cameras and lenses...but geez...they are just amazing!!! I was totally impressed with Pentax DSLRs and lenses after using K-7 with many other lenses. High noise on K-7 was not that a big of an issue personally as I enjoyed using BW photo at high ISO. However for indoor/low light condition, better ISO was somewhat became necessary especially for color images. So I decide to get K-5 that looks exactly like K-7. The result was amazing and satisfactory! K-5 has unbelievable Dynamic Rang, better ISO, improved AF. It's a joy to work in low light conditions and photoshop retouching became much effective. K-7 and K-5 is rather a different camera as they use complete different sensors. I don't want to really call K-5 is an upgrade version of K-7 since I feel they are just very different camera and that is the reason why I'm keeping both K-7 and K-5. Love them both!

The K5 will serve me for ages.. If you have an old Pentax DSLR, just upgrade to a K5 and don't bother with an upgrade for another 5 years.The detail you can extract from the raw images shot by this camera is mind blowing!

Great camera but I wish the price was just a little lower. If this was under $1k, I'd be completely satisfied with the purchase. Otherwise, great camera body with a lot of good options. Recommended for one of the sturdiest camera bodies around.

The features, ease of use, quality of build, and results from this camera put it at the top of its class. It does tend to overheat (warning) with intense use of the LV screen. This can be avoided by switching to the DSLR viewer. The battery life is more than adequate. It works very well with the Metz 58 AF-1 flash. It has a built in valometer in its firmware. Firmware updates are easy. It lacks autofocus in video mode. With quality glass, this camera can't be beat in the APS-C category. It has an lcd mounted on top in addition to the LV screen (which is not articulated), a rarity in cameras today. It also has a genuine prism for the view finder, not a mirror.All in all, this camera body is weatherproofed and very satisfying. It is comfortable for those with large hands (like mine). This might be the last camera most amateurs would ever need/want. Too few brick and mortar retail stores carry it, however. Tamaron makes some quality lenses for Pentax that have excellent optics, though aren't weatherproofed. There are a number of prime lenses that can be used to 'pull focus' while using the video feature.

Quiet operation. Built good. Much smaller than I had expected. About the size of a Canon Rebel. Also doesn't weight as much as cameras with similar sensor. Works well. Very affordable compared to it's competition.

I owned a Pentax k10d for a couple of years prior to buying a k-5. I saw other Pentax models come out (k-r, k-7, etc.) and held out for a "worthy upgrade." The dynamic range, video options, and in-camera digital filters make this upgrade a "no-brainer" for me. I was an early adopter of the k-5, got the camera in December and have been blown away by the improved ISO performance.For me, as well as other users, the increased ISO alone (to 51,200, but I think 6400 ISO will be the max most people will shoot), is worth the upgrade. I can shoot w/ the kit lens in low light conditions, and the images look MUCH better than when shooting with primes in ISO 800 or 1600 on the k10d. Amazing.It's a no-brainer upgrade for k10d users... can't speak to other cameras since I don't own them, and you'll be asking yourself why didn't you buy this sooner when you finally get your hands on it (I know I did, and I got the camera only a few weeks after initial rollout).

The Pentax K-5 is by far the best dslr I have ever owned. I recently upgraded to the K5 from the K7 and have noticed some big improvements. For one the autofocus on the K5 is much better than the K7. I like to do "action photography" such as sports, dance, birds in flight, etc and the Pentax K-5 has really made things easier for me. It also has better dynamic range. I really like the TAv exposure mode which is unique to Pentax. In TAv exposure mode the photographer sets shutter speed and aperture, and the camera sets a matching ISO so that correct exposure is obtained.I'm not much of a review writer but I just know I love this camera. Here is a summary of the Pentax K-5 by Pentax Forums "It is a fantastic DSLR with exceptional image quality, fast autofocus, high sensitivity, a compact and lightweight design, weather-sealing, and shake reduction backwards-compatible with old lenses even from the screw-mount era. We highly recommend it for three groups of photographers: serious amateurs who have sufficient experience with DSLRs to be able to take advantage of all the K-5's features, outdoor photograhpers who frequently travel and are looking for a complete weather-resistant DSLR system, and professionals who are looking for a camera with high image quality but are on a budget. If you fall into any one of these groups, we feel the K-5 will be the perfect match for you!"Read more at: [...]

Over the past 5 years I've migrated from the Pentax k-100d up to the latest k-5. I now own the k-20d, the k-x, the k-7 and now the k-5. Along the way the k-7 disappointed me the most. But this k-5 makes up for it. This is an incredible camera. The resolution and the low noise level (even at high ISO's) have impressed me the most. This camera coupled with an average lens such as the Pentax 18-250 is very good. Coupled with the D-star lenses or the Limited lenses and it's outstanding. It's as good as any APS-C sensor camera on the market today. I shoot landscapes a lot and this is one of the few cameras I've used where the leaf definition comes through even hand held. I don't shoot video so I cannot comment on that function.I've been reading about the infamous sensor stain issue that has arisen over the early k-5's. I'm still trying to evaluate whether or not my camera has that problem although Pentax has acknowledged the problem and has taken responsibility. I'll revisit this issue in this review if necessary.

The k7 is awesome. Great features, customizability, build... perfect size, weather sealed, 100% viewfinder... k5 is all this with a significantly better sensor, arguably the only lacking aspect of the k7. Apparently there's a new autofocus system too... so far so good.After a great deal of research for my first DSLR, this was my choice over Canon/Nikon with Canon 7d as top contender... k5 won in most part for better a better ISO range. Very happy with my choice after using it for a few days, especially in low light. I'm able to get very good hand held shots in dimly lit indoors (1600-6400 ISO, 1/30-1/60th shutter, f3.5 on the kit lens or 2 on the 50mm FA)... in-body image stabilization comes in handy as well.About me... a photography enthusiast, architect by profession and travel at every chance I get... learnt to shoot pictures on a Pentax spotmatic... switched to a Nikon n85 a few years before the film era begun fading. Thrilled with the k5... wish it was a little cheaper. 5 stars none the less... Have to add that I was initially concerned about the choice of pentax lenses but the more I looked, they have some decent options with the DA* and Limited lenses. Definitely give this camera a serious look (if not very concerned about low light, save the $ and get a k7)...

With the camera and 2 lenses, this is a snip, best bargain I've had for some time. The name Pentax speaks for itself as a genuine camera and lens manufacturer rather than an electronics firm that makes cameras. The 18-55mm and 50-200mm lenses are superb, coming complete with body and lens caps. Its already given me a great deal of fun and there is a lot more to come I know. Highly recommended to anyone.

I like this good, and it came here so quickly. It looks like a new one, I think you can trust this shop.

Great bit of kit, good value, exactly as described and delivered before predicted time. Very good mid-level DSLR camera, ideal for semi-pro, pro and amateur photographers who want a lightweight quality item.

I have been shooting with a Pentax K20D for a couple of years and love the camera, the only problems that I had with it have been eliminated in the K5. I have had a K5 for just over a month and have been putting it though its paces. The ISO is amazing shooting as 6400 looks like 800 or less in their older cameras. They have moved the controls around which bothered me a bit at first but they truly are far more intuitive and much easier to use, another improvement. I the auto focus problems have been taken care of especially if you us a DA* lens. I am using the 50-135 DA* as well as a few non star lenses. The star lens is amazing, great image quality, good speed, wonderful bokah, and the auto focus is very good and virtually silent. It was easy to focus on the trees outside my windows then on the pains cross members without the auto focus getting confused. I havent done much with the video yet but what I have done looks great. I definately would recommend this camera, it performs wonderfully.

Just purchased the Pentax K5 body to replace my Pentax SF10.I am able to use all of my lenses from the SF10 and theauto focus works. Camera is easy to use. I like the greenmode feature. In manual mode everything I learned with theSF10 still holds true with the K5. If you like Pentax youwill love the Pentax K5.

Bought this DSLR used - like new. The camera is in new condition with about 2500 actuations, only the box was slightly damaged. I have a k10. The k5 is a total upgrade. Fantastic body, smaller than other DSLR's (I also have a Nikon D200), feels great, body image stabilization, great low light shooting due to high ISO capabilities, great image quality. Shoot with Pentax 50-200, no problems with AF. Tried it with a Pentax 35mm f2.4. Fantastic IQ, fast and sharpness. This is a fantastic camera and a keeper for years to come.

I am very happy with this camera, It has so many features, I still learning what it can do. Does need more explanation on occasions.

Bought my Pentax k-r a few months back and I have nothing but praise for it. Menu system isn't as complicated to navigate as you might think and the camera can be set up and customised to suit the user in a few minutes. Super fast autofocus and reasonable viewfinder, and the kit lens isn't too bad, though adding first-class lenses will make a difference. There are probably more features than you'll need, but for your first digital SLR this is highly recommended.

While not a perfect camera, it competes and very well with Pro priced models by the big two, at well over 3K costs. Used it with legacy K bayonet mounts as well as high end Pentax and Takumar lenses, great adjustments for lens set, only thing is lacking is a little more speed in continuous shooting mode. Wish the movie mode had automatic variable focus, but that is perhaps the only real downside. Since I really do not use a SLR for movies, it it a very small issue for me, but could be for others.Great low light focusing in automatic mode, do not let the resolution fool you; compared to my Nikon at 18MP, I do not see any difference.

I purchased a Pentax K-5 for Christmas and it is all and more the reviews said it is. It is a replacement for my 35 mm Pentax for which I have many lenses and accessories. It takes wonderful low light, natural light and group pictures. The detail is amazing. On automatic it has been no challenge to operate. I will be working with this great camera and my non-digital Pentax lenses and expect to get the same great results.Pentax K-5 16.3 MP Digital SLR with 18-55mm Lens and 3-Inch LCD (Black)This camera is well worth the money and will give me any years of retirement enjoyment.

I like this camera and it produces decent images and footage. I had my hands on it for two days. It has great bright 100% viewfinder, the grip is nice. I was using Pentax 7 before and wasn't trilled with its perfomance. This 5 apparently uses Sony's sensor, which is the same like in Sony and Nikon cameras. I gave it 4 stars because for the features, quality and PRICE, the latter in MHO is too high.

I bought K-5 just before my vacation trip to Morocco on these Holidays. This camera is excellent upgrade of my D20K. I do candid photography. Small size, quiet operation and improved sensor make this camera great tool for my shooting style. If you like to know more how I used K-5 in Morocco go to [....]The only slight problem I have that it is somewhat awkward to change memory card and too many control buttons for my taste. You have to have another battery. Battery life is OK but to charge it takes very long time.
