Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Pentax K-1 Mark II Kit

From what i've read in many known photography websites this baby can beat up alot of the Nikons and Canons that sometimes costs more

Easy to use but very loud shutter and very heavy. It has some fun features. I would recommend this camera as I've always loved Pentax and the picture quality is great.

Pentax K-5 16.3 MP Digital SLR with 3-Inch LCD (Black Body Only)I ENJOYED K5... until today. While I am overseas trying to enjoy shooting experience it stopped being able to release the shutter bottom. I have 18-135mm lens attached and I have not even replace the lens, or anything unusual. It focuses, then it hums and does not release the shutter. It is a useless heavy object in my luggage now. I am very disappointed.March 12, 2012. An update.My camera was taken to the service center and was repaired in only 3 days and was returned to me while I was still in the country!They discovered that it was a battery issue that moves the mirror. They replaced the circuit board, battery and some other elementsrelated to the mirror function, I think. All in All, I was impressed. I also learned that similar thing did happened to a few other people..but it is rare...March 30Someone on the thread reminded me that I should change my rating, and he/she is right.It brought me down hard when the breakdown occurred and was initially told that the without thewarranty, the international warranty would not be effective etc,,,,,,however,once in functioning order, it is an excellent camera and now I must say, the customer service is also excellent.

I had a K10D, from which I upgraded to a K20D, and then to this one. Wow! The K10-to-K20 upgrade felt pretty incremental, but the K20-to-K5 upgrade is just a gigantic one.The first thing you notice is how much smaller and lighter the K5 is (K7 users already knew this, I suppose). But the real amazing thing about this camera is that it takes stunningly crisp clear (not grainy) photos even at absurd ISOs (32000 anybody?).The auto white balance is much better than that on the K10 and K20. On both of those, I usually set the white balance manually because the auto setting was so often wrong. On the K5 I have yet to need to set the white balance manually, regardless of the lighting conditions (I've shot under flourescent, warm flourescent, incandescent, direct sunlight, shade, and setting sun), all looked perfect.The on screen mid-shot user interface is an improvement. It's always easy to know what mode you're shooting in, what your settings are, and what controls will alter what. With use, it wasn't ever that hard to know on the older models either, but the new on-screen UI is pretty idiot proof.But back to where I started - the photos! They're amazing! So clear, so sharp, color-perfect, and you can almost shoot in the dark with this thing! It's amazing.

Weather sealed and great build quality. This camera has really pro features and is now (as of Nov.2012) at a bargain price. You will get truly professional results with this camera.

This bundle has two most common used types of lenses: wide angle and zoom lens. The quality of this cheap kit lenses is not very good. You will not see such sharp, bright and colorfull pictures that you can see in sample images for this camera in web reviews. But the quality is much better than of compact cameras. You will definitely see the defference between this camera and 100-200 pounds compact without any special movements like extremal magnifying and exploring pixels. (I just don't know what about more expensive compacts)
Then, I think, controls are very good and intuitively understandable.

This camera is cheaper than nikon d3100 or canon 550d and the picture quality will be more or less the same. This will be very good choice if you want to know if you will do photography in future or not. Or to understand if you want to carry big case with a camera with you. Or if you have some old pentax or soviet lenses. This camera has sensor stabilization and any lens will be stabilized. This is not true for canon or nikon cameras.

So, if you want just to try photography and doesn't care of brand names, get this camera and you will be happy. But firstly, go to a story and try to hold it and compare its ergonomics with others.

Important notion! If you want to shoot videos you would better take nikon d3100 because this camera doesn't have continuous autofocus in video mode.

Man, am I ever happy with this purchase! My K10D was smacked to the floor by a careless person at an event in Canada and it was rendered useless (but repairable). I ordered the K5 body the same day, and when I got home to Ohio, there it was. Impeccable service as expected.

I am coming over from a Sony NEX-7 which is the "latest & greatest" but I didn't like it. The Pentax K5 is a big improvement - both in the camera and in the far better lens selection. The K5 has a great sensor (16mp APS-C - same as the Nikon D7000) and has a high 82 DXOmark benchmark score and a "Gold Award" from dpreview.com. Also I find the sensor dust shaking & other utilities to be much better than the Sony which was a "dust magnet" in my opinion (and I am careful with switching lenses). I'm looking forward to the new Pentax K-01 mirrorless which I can use the Pentax K/KAF lenses as well. I've previously owned the Canon 7D and the ruggedness and build quality seem up to par with that camera (although the K5 is quite a bit smaller & lighter, which I like, very ergonomic).

When you can freeze motion in ambient indoor light (day or night), without a flash (yes - you read that right!), and hardly any noise (except at 12800+ ISO), you are simply left awestruck at the capabilities of this instrument!Add the unique, nifty feature of the TAv mode and most everything you need a button away in a package that is solid and compact, you know, you have a keeper. Shutter, Aperture, EV Compensation and ISO all at your convenient finger tip in a weather sealed wonderfully ergonomic package that feels comfortable in your hand - truly a still photographer's camera.I tried the competition (sony slt55 - too small, nikon d7000/ canon 7d - too large and heavy. Only nikon d5100 came close in handling however it is not weather sealed and nor does it have a mg alloy body). Not to mention the rave reviews on independent sites - dpreview(very high recommendation) and dxo marks(the best aps-c camera there is for image quality, period). If there was one thing I truly wished for, it would be an articulated screen. I don't care much for one button video - if you are going to miss two seconds, I would rather capture 14 stills! In fairness, don't buy it for mainly video shooting.You will definitely need good glass for this camera. I got the reasonable 35mm DA f/2.4 which according to DxO marks is the only lens you probably need for this camera! If you are not used to SLRs, it may be a while before you will snap eye-popping pics as there is a learning curve. If you are, this could well be the last DSLR you may have to buy! Yes, it is that good.

I've had my K-5 for over a year, and have shot more than 20,000 images. This is an outstanding camera! Many of the previous reviews give more details, and the few drawbacks mentioned have been mostly fixed with firmware updates. When I bought this camera, I compared it against similar price-range cameras from Canon, Nikon and Olympus. In the stats, this was easily the best camera, and my experience has confirmed it.

For anyone waiting for Pentax to release a digital version of the LX the K-5 covers the void very well, and then some![...]

I'm not going to repeat all the superlatives of other reviewers. Not because it doesn't deserve them, but so as not to bore the reader. Yes it is a 5 star camera, but I've deducted a star because the User Guide on the mini cd provided with the camera was for the K-x. That isn't what you would expect from a huge organisation such Hoya, of which Pentax is now a part. I downloaded a copy easily enough, but it is huge. 355 pages. I needed to print it off, because it is rather limiting to have it only on your laptop, unless you take your laptop with you when you take photographs. I have to confess that I am unlikely to take the hard copy manual with me either. It cost me an arm and a leg in printer ink.

The second star was deducted on a design issue. Remote shutter release is only available via the infrared receiver. There is no jack plug socket on this camera. The infrared receiver is on the front of the camera, so is really only of use if you want to include yourself in the shot, or if you intend to delay shutter release to give yourself time to evacuate from the shot. So if you had hoped to take wildlife photos using a remote shutter release with this camera, forget it.

There are of course loads of positive points. Read the other reviews for those.

You can get the two bigger names and pay a lot more. Is having those names more important than the excellent results produced by the K5. Audio is exceptional as is the video. Can't say enough good things that haven't already been said. I agree with the best of statements.

I bought the K5 after using my K20 for a couple of years. The K20 is very very good, the K5 is an order of magnitude better. Low light performance of the K20 was just OK, the K5 is a real standout. It's taken a few days to get used to the menu and control differences in the K5 but Pentax has done a very good job of keeping the user interface friendly and close to previous models. I shoot predominately with Pentax prime lenses but find the new WR 18-55 zoom a very capable kit lens, sharp, quick focusing, and with the weather sealing a nice addition to my kit. Videos are very good although I don.t use the feature often. My only very slight complaint is the lack of continuous focus in video mode. Although, with Pentax lenses with quick shift focus this if not too much of an issue. All-in-all I am very happy with this camera and would recommend it to friends and family without reservation.

There is not enough words or stars to describe this camera. I've used both the k10/ 20d cameras and the k5 shines sweet! The kit lens alone could be in a category all it's own. The camera with the kit lens focuses quick and the quality of the photos is superb! I'm a big guy with huge basketball hands and the camera fits nicely in my hands, which was a concern when I was thinking of purchasing this camera and I must say I'm not disappointed! The 7fps is awesome, I love taking pics of my 4yr old playing tennis and with the increased fps the camera has already paid for its self! The down side is you will need to get plenty of memory cards because if your like me you will be holding down the shutter button often because it's so much fun! I absolutely love taking pics with this camera! If you are looking for an awesome camera to take around with you without worrying about getting it wet and taking superb pictures then look no further! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

After saying I couldn't be bothered lugging around a DSLR and all the gubbins I was seduced back by my daughter's Olympus 520 DSLR. While I could get on with the Olympus' clunky menus I did love the feel and image quality. So what DSLR to buy? Traditionally I have had (and still own) several Canon cameras and I also liked the look of the Nikons. A bit of research soon indicated a problem. Both Nikon and Canon have the image stabilising built into the lenses so every new lens costs more because you have to keep buying the same thing. Also both manufacturers have changed their lens mounts several time so old lenses do not fit new bodies. It didn't take too long to short list those manufacturers whose image stabilisers are built into the bodies and who support the original lens fitment. There was only one: Pentax. I tried them out at my local camera store and the K-r was the best compromise on price and features. The K-x lacked a lowlight focus lamp and used the flash which I really dislike and the K-5 and 7 were lovely but way too expensive. That left the K-r.
After 7 months of ownership including a trip to Spitzbergen and shooting at -32C I can safely say I am still delighted with the camera. It offers everything a keen amateur needs and will also work in idiot mode for non photographers. My only regret is buying the twin kit lens set as I have just replaced both lenses with a new Sigma 18-200mm lens which is better quality and avoids excessive lens changing. I have also bought and sold a number of older lenses to experiment with and the most I have paid for a lens is

This is the best APS-C camera on the market. Its built like a tank. Weather seal is awesome. Feels amazing in your hands. Has way more features available in the buttons on the body than most cameras which rocks because you don't have to go through the menu for everything. Handles high ISO amazingly. Beautiful images. Great contrast. I couldn't be more happy with this camera. Look no more!

It took me a while to decided between the the Canon 60D, Nikon D7000, and Pentax K-5.Having used all 3 cameras, I'm glad I chose to go with the K-5. The image quality is comparable to that of the D7000. In fact, even in program mode, pictures come out great, without being too hot, or to dark. The colors are vivid, and the low noise at high ISO is better than what I expected. The focusing is really fast, but not always accurate. I'll give the AF 4 stars. Overall a really great camera. Satisfied customer.

Hi I switched 2 months ago from a Canon 7D with a 24-105mm L lens and I have to say that I have no regrets, I wanted a lighter camera that was rugged and at the same time took great pictures and had semi-pro features, at the beginning being a Canon user and before it a Nikon one I was a bit skeptical but after using the camera for a bit I started loving it, I mistook it's simplicity to it being inferior but I was wrong it only makes it more user friendly, such a nice camera to use, the 7D is a great camera but besides it being heavy and almost giving me hernia it also feels like a computer with the K5 I can now concentrate on photography. I use it with 40 and 70mm limiteds, it was as well a learning curve using primes but no regrets whatsoever, good job Pentax, maybe a full frame in the future!

The Pentax K-5 is slightly more compact than similar Nikon and Canon cameras while offering more options and features. It is a well thought out, digital photography tool. There is something special about using a high quality camera, the feel in your hand, a solid mechanical sound, the way it comes to your eye. This camera has all of it. And hey, you get to use Pentax lenses, the best glass in the world.

Their are 3 reasons I say this:1) The image quality is surpassed by none! The dynamic range is unbelievable at iso 80. Plus the high iso is astonashing: I can shoot up to iso 3200 no problem and even use iso 12800 when needed!!!2) The build quality is amazing. Built like a brick, incredibly small, and can survive a monsoon! I took this thing into the alaska rain and survived wthout a sweat3) The ergonomics make this the easiest camera to use if you know what you are doing. If you like to constantly change the EV, ISO, shutter speed, aperture, continuous shoting, or manual focus then this is the camera for you! I remember being able to do all of this in like 10 min.LOVE MY CAMERA!!!

Almost went to Nikon, with the purchase of Nikon D5100. It was an excellent camera, but after looking at my photos taken with it and my Pentax Kx, I still liked the Pentax BEST! Now I own the Pentax K5 and am very excited about this feature and weather proofed camera. Great feel with this camera and all the features to do what I want in photography. This is a pro camera at a reasonable price and only the photographers limitations will hold me back. I would highly recommend this camera to any serious photographer.

I bought this camera mainly because I want to shoot in the rain.It turned out to be one of my top 3 fav cameras. I put it at the same level as the incredible canon 5d mark II in many aspects. (the focusing is better than 5d2 for sure)Here are my fav features of the camera:1 Low shutter sound (really low)2 Good high ISO performance. (I think about 1/2 step away from 5d2)3 Great feel in holding it in my hand4 Amazing control!!!! This is really cool as once you get to know the control, it flows super wellI highly recommend this camera.

This camera is very light yet sturdy and weatherproof. Its fast as lightning, accurate auto-focus, very quiet shutter, and tons of advanced features. I love the feel of it, and so far all my pictures have been sharp and well-metered. Now the price has dropped, its a great value for a semi-pro camera
