Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Pentax K-3 Mark III Body

My first SLR was an old 1970s 35mm Ricoh. I used it back in the 90s I knew that camera so well. I had a few lenes for it too. My first DSLR was an olympus E410. The lens on that thing was great but it was not easy to use in manual mode. It was a good camera to start out with.This K30 is amazing. I only did a few test shots playing around with the manual settings only. The way the manual settings are set up make it SO easy to adjust what you want quickly with little butting pushing. Then when you look at the photo it tells you what the shutter speed F stop and ios was in the photo. I love that.Like I said I had some lenes from my Ricoh they are K mount lenes. Guess what they fit and work GREAT on this body. I am so happy to be using my 75mm-300mm Zoom lens again. Its all manual but I love using my camera in manual. All you have to do is go in the menu and enable aperture ring its the very last menu option in the C menu.I Love this camera so much it reminds me of my old Ricoh. This is the best camera in its price rage you really get a lot for your money. The image quality is great. I got the Blue body and it looks and feels awesome.Only down side is the kit lens. It's ok but not water resistant. Its very light. The auto focus is loud. I think I will be upgrading this lens soon.If you don't want to play around with manual settings why get a DSLR. I will get some photos and post later. I bought this because of all the great reviews its a great price and my old k mount lens work on it. I am so happy I got it. It's an awesome camera for the hobby shooter.

I've used (and still use) Pentax flim cameras for 45 years adding in digital cameras a few years ago. I started with the K-100D Super, added the K-10 and now the K-30. If you use the earlier Pentax digital models, it's not that hard to make the switch although some controls are moved and the menu is a little different. The only thing missing, to me anyway, is the ability to add a battery pack. I have this on my K-10 and, while it makes the camera heavier, the ability to rotate the camera and shoot with the battery pack shutter button is something I miss with this one. While I've always felt that a still camera should be for still photographs and a video camera for videos. the K-30 does include the ability to shoot video. It doesn't appear that Pentax sacrificed photo quality to add it the video and it may actually come in handy after all to shoot video of the grandchildren.

I purchased this camera in June, the camera broke down due to humidity being drawn inside the body by the telephoto lens in the first week of July. I immediately sent the camera off for repair under the warranty -- it is now August and it has now been over a month since I sent the camera off. I have called multiple times and been given little to no information beyond, "Call back next week."Even after explaining that this is unsatisfactory to have so little information and no firm timeline on when I might receive my camera back, I was told there is nothing else I can do. I am INCREDIBLY disappointed in my experience with Pentax and am now in the market for a Canon or a Nikon. I cannot believe the poor level of support I've received and the inability of Pentax to resolve this within an acceptable timeframe.

I have been a Pentax user for many years and love, love my new camera. I would recommend this camera.

This camera is really awesome. If you can see it with the naked eye the camera will shoot it and the pics are clear and sharp. Smpler than most. Its almost a point and shoot camera with out a lot of calculations prior to a shot . The camera is easy to hold in your hands and all the settings are set up for easy location.I got the 18mm - 55mm lens, the 50mm-200mm lens and finally the 55mm-300mm lens and they are great. Could have save some money if I would have first gotten the 300mm zoom lens and passed on the 200mm as they duplicate each other. But I'm not sorry.I bought the camera seperate because the DA L lens are plastic and not glass so if you want glass lens for your great camera go with DA only. No L. Would I purchase this camera again... you betcha!

Easy to handle, and I like the location of the controls. Still learning a lot about the capabilities - because it has a lot of them. The viewfinder is excellent, controls are responsive and precise. Focus response is very fast, and the frequently used menus seem to be quick and easy to access. The functions of the front and rear e-dials are excellent, although it does take some getting used to. There is ample opportunity to customize buttons and functions here and there, although I have not found it necessary to do much of that. I like the way Pentax set the thing up, pretty much the way it is.The focus system is very good, and it can work okay with older Pentax lenses. I don't know of any camera that is perfect with older lenses, but this one is workable. The 18-135 lens, by the way, is superb. Tight, precise zoom, excellent focus.The results - the photographs - are excellent. Great camera for the price. Great camera, period.

I was shopping for a DSLR for some time and settled on this for a few reasons ... on the outside, I like the great blue color. It's very attractive and solid. I purchased the Pentax because my previous non-digital SLR was a Pentax and I loved it... I could also use my lenses from the other Pentax on this one. The lenses work great. I love all the features of this camera. I like the location of the buttons. They make sense. an example is where the flash button is .. it's right by your left finger and can find the button without searching around. It's a natural fit. I am a hobby photographer, so I honestly don't have a lot of insight on the technical advantages to the camera, but the photos are crisp and clear and upload easily. I am really thrilled with this purchase.

I almost thought of buying Nikon D7100 but switched to Pentax k-3. 100% Satisfied with this product and its like a hammer. I purchased from Emmy Photo. Thanks to "Emmy Photo" for nicely packing and delivering it to me.

If you are looking for a K-30 or K-5, you have probably already read reviews on DPreview.com or Pentaxforums.comI have done a lot of research when I purchased my K-x and I am glad that I chose Pentax over Canon/Nikon. I also read reviews of K-5 and K-30 to decide which would be my upgrade for my K-x.I chose K-30 because I have found a better price for it and it was offered with 18-135mm WR (which cost a lot more by itself) I enjoy this mid-range dslr with performance and build quality of Pro-dslr.K-5 was reviewed and named the best APS-C sensor dslr for Image quality, Dynamic range, and ISO performance. Since K-30 shares same sensor but just with slightly different filter its images are almost identical. Therefore, you get one of the best APS-C dslr on the market for less than half of the price of K-5 when it was introduced.Overall it is a great step up from K-x with too many improvements to list. (live view focus is way faster than K-x, and should be faster than K-5 and it has focus peaking to help with using awesome Pentax manual lenses)16mp is more than enough to make huge prints if needed, My K-x was 12mp and that was enough already. Some competition is increasing MP to 24 and higher, but I beleive it will not make pictures much better on APS-C sensor; It will fit full frame sensor much better because of less pixels per sensor size.I highly recommend K-30 to anyone that is looking to upgrade or to a new user that wants to get best dslr on the market, very good value for your money and with WR body.(see some of my images in product info for comparison of K-x and K-30 high ISO)

I have had two pentax cameras, the K100d Super and now the K-30. As many of us know, Pentax just lets you buy the body to upgrade, and allows you to use old lenses!I always loved the color on my K100d, but wanted a faster autofocus. I splurged and bought the K-30 body, a kit lens and a 55-300 mm Pentax lens to complement the Tamron 18-250mm etc I had. It is great. I did not know the Tamron would be so slow but it is because of the magnification of about 13x; it is still a great all in one lens, but the 55-300 and K30 is soooooo much faster.Anyhow this gentleman has a useful review that shows how Pentax smokes a Nikon 5200, please google:Nikon D5200 vs Pentax k30 image testand see his YouTube video! I guess I was right about Pentax colors being superb!

Sold my Nikon D40 and had some decisions. Was looking at the Nikon D5100, D7000, and the Canon T4i. Considered waiting to decide until Nikon introduces the inevitable D5200, but after weighing all the options, and considering the phenomenal value that is the K30 - I bought it. (white body w/standard 18-55 lens - sexy) I'm new to Pentax and glad to have made the change. Nothing against Nikon or Canon, but on top of taking excellent pictures, there is something unique about having the Pentax. I prefer the menu system over both Nikon and Canon - simpler for me to navigate. (Though deleting photos on Nikon remains simpler - hitting the 'delete' button does it all.)I'm waiting for Sigma to release their newish 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM in a Pentax mount - then all will be perfect. They already have it for Nikon/Canon - gets great reviews. Not water-resistant (the Sigma lens), but that was never a decision making factor in the K30. (Though nice to have.) I wanted a great camera to fit a good all-in-one lens onto and be done. It lets me take great photos (and it does - even with the stock 18-55 lens) and ease into more complex picture taking as I feel fit.People dog the video, on this and other DSLRs. My response is - get a video camera. Video in the DSLRs has been something of a gimmick since introduced. DSLRs aren't great for video, camcorders aren't great for stills. I wanted great stills - the K30 fits that bill.Love the grip, ergonomics, the picture quality, build quality, and value compared to competition. Highly recommended if new to the DSLR world, or like me - upgrading from D40 or the like.

I purchased the Pentax K-30 as my first dSLR camera to upgrade from point and shoot (canon powershot sx 40 hs). I will primarily use this camera for my latest passion of airshow and air museum photograpy and outdoor, family and artsy-crafty photos also in the mix. The camera arrived in a timely manner and as advertised.The reasons for the 5 stars:1. price point.2. quality of the camera construction. Although it is made of poly-carbonite, I wouldn,t have known if I wasn't told.3. weather resistance features. A big plus if you are outside. The kit lens that comes with the camera isn't WR but I have upraded to Pentax 21977 DA 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 ED AL (IF) DC WR Lens for Pentax Digital SLR cameras and it will cover a lot of photo ground.4. It actually has a paper manual that is fairly easy to use.5. Ergonomics of the camera is great. Overall weight of the camera with 135mm lens is reasonable and my meathooks don't inadvertently hit a button while i am trying to shoot a photo (a big problem for me with the powershot).6. The camera controls and menu's are fairly intuitive and with the help of the manual are easy to use.Now to shot some photos and I will update this review on image quality.

I chose this camera mainly because I have older Pentax lenses. My brothers all have Canons and I won't trade with them.The ASA on this thing goes to 6400. The shots I get from a hand holding a 300mm Tamron zoom lens are amazing. I'm shooting a wedding in less than good light and the shots are not blurry. I could never get shots like this with my film camera. Very smooth performance. You can keep the Canon and Nikon selection that everyone is selling.Con: I would get the 3 cell (battery) adapter as the charge on the rechargeable battery could last longer (sitting idle in the case)Love this camera!

The camera was recomende to me by a career user so I purched it to replace a basic point and shoot digital.It will take some time getting used to but it worked great for photograffing our grand daughter's wedding.

Readers should be aware that I'm still getting used to this camera, figuring out what it can do and how it does it. But so far it strikes me as a "prosumer" camera in the best sense of the word: you can either use the Auto setting and the Scene modes, in which case the camera is happy to select from its long list of features on your behalf, or you can set an exposure mode and dig through the menus to find the creative tools you like. Or you can turn everything off, set to Manual, and go all-natural if that suits you.Image quality at low sensitivity seems to be excellent, and dynamic range is great -- plus, there are settings to preserve detail in highlights and shadows. I've only done a few tests in black and white, but they look fantastic so far.Some of the reviews I saw while researching my purchase concentrated on the K-30's price point, or on its design (which is admittedly a bit odd in spots). But like most Pentaxes, it's easy to use, built for durability and creativity, and outperforms its price tag by a long shot.(Note: I haven't shot much video yet, but I will say that it's taken me some time to figure out how to pull focus while rolling. It appears that a press of the AF button on the back of the camera will do a quick focus adjustment, but having the option of putting AF into Continuous mode for video would be better.)

I have been waiting on this camera for the past 10 years and now it's here. I love to go into the woods and take wildlife shots and this camera is suppose to be made for that kind of use. What a machine. I haven't had it but a week but I love it so far. Yes it doesn't have a microphone jack and the screen doesn't tilt. Who cares about the microphone. If you want a video camera buy one. The video that I have take is very nice though. The screen not tilting is one less thing to break. The thing I have been most impressed with so far is the autofocus. It is fast. The exposures have been good and of course you can turn it all off if you want to. I used Pentax in 35mm and have some good lens. They all work just fine on this body. The one thing that I just don't understand is why they call this an entry level camera. I just can't can't think of anything else that I would need or want. It's a huge step up from the Pentax K1000 that I started off with back in 1977. The 18-135 lens seems to be a great lens too. It fast for a zoom lens and is a good lens if you only want one lens. The one thing that you do need to remember is that the lens have to be weather resistant (WR) to keep the WR rating on the camera but any lens made for Pentax will work just fine. I have Tamaron, Sigma and Pentax lens left over for my 35mm days and now I can put them back to use. Then there's Amazon.com. I ordered it Sunday and it was on my porch Tuesday just in time for my birthday. I do like to buy myself a nice present every now and then. My wife purchased me the Pentax AF-300FGZ flash to go with the camera and it seems to be great too.

I am not a novice nor an expert, and it is mandatory to use a camera all day long in my business and sometimes it takes me out into inclement weather conditions and I literally wore my last Kodak DC5000 out as it too was a water resistance camera. I need the wide angle capability and this water proof camera sounded great and it certainly looked pretty. But, I need simplicity and I don't want to have to keep searching in the Menu for what I want to do. I found this camera to be one of the most complicated cameras I have ever used. It is NOT user friendly and I repeat NOT user friendly. Don't buy this camera for simplicity and it is not what they tote this camera to be and that is unfortunate. Don't let the looks or the price deceive you. I had this camera for 10 days and I really tried to make it work, but I ended up sending it back to Amazon and thanks to Amazon for their return policy. The only thing good about this transaction was Amazon - I got every cent spent refunded to me, but I really wanted this camera to "be the one" and I ended buying a Nikon that does the job, but lacks the water resistant feature that this camera has. Still looking for a like camera that is water resistant, but just not quite as hard.

I bought this as an upgrade from my Pentax K-7. I was considering a K-5IIs but I'm more than happy with the K-30 for far less cost. It is far superior to the K-7 in image quality. Even at an ISO setting at 6400 the noise is relatively low. I use the K-30 in combination with a Sigma 150-500mm zoom lens for taking wild bird images where the subjects are relatively close and the improvement in image quality is substantial. Being able to shoot at F16 instead of F8 with the higher ISO capability increases the depth of field and that in combination with a better image sensor has given me excellent results.

I first looked at Pentax because I have a closet full of old, usable Pentax K mount lenses. I bought it because I do mostly outdoor shooting and the Pentax is weather resistant, and this camera does everything that I wanted in a camera. Automatic exposure bracketing for HDR and it will do HDR in camera. It will save jpeg and raw versions of the same file automatically or after the fact. Battery life is great and the picture quality is great. I looked at the new 24 megapixal competitor but read several places not to expect better images and do expect more noise. The kit lens has great reviews for a kit lens. (18-55mm). I have tried out the lens from my old Pentax ME and they work very well. Adjust one setting, tell the camera the focal length and start taking pictures with some of the old, great lenses. I use the manual 24mm wide angle for landscape so using manual focus and choosing the aperture fits my shooting needs anyway. The K30 is new fall 2012 so it is up-to-date. I am very happy with my K30.

The the orginal Operating Manual an the Quick Guide are missing.they send a photocopy of the manual.the box tahat they send.belong to at other kit so they cannibalize this kit and send it to me the lens comming in a box that is not the original..amazon is realy making a poor job working with this people.

I have always been a Pentax shooter; and this is an excellent step up from the K-r for me. I like the overall similarities, the interchangeable lenses (all Pentax lenses fit all Pentax cameras - including vintage lenses); The technical capabilities of the camera are excellent, and the cost is far lower than comparable "bigger names". I don't care about the name on the camera, I care about the pictures that come out of it - and this camera meets all of my expectations and then some. It is better than average in low light, handles well and I don't have to worry about sudden rain when I'm shooting. Great camera to produce crisp shots of anything from flowers to airplanes, and children to macrophages. If your normal photo size (printed) is 16 x 20 or smaller, this is a great camera at a great price. (If you're shooting 36 x40, you might want something with more than 16 mp.) Take time to read and work with the manual - it has many capabilities you might not realize if you don't.

There is a lot to learn about the camera. I like the picture quality and am getting use to the many camera features. I am particularly happy that the camera will use the lens from a Pentax film camera that I haven't used in years

Я очень доволен этой камерой.Он принимает красивые фотографии,очень удобная ручка ,не тяжелый и самое главное мне не нужно будет беспокоиться о ли какие-либо дополнительные условия с объективом У. Р. зум объективом (который мне пришлось приобрести отдельно,очень хорошо упакован от центра камеры).Благодаря Amazon за очень хорошее обслуживание.

If you're a Pentax SLR owner and this model is still available, GRAB IT! The new K-50 isn't much different and thus K-30s are selling at a deep discount.I upgraded from a K-100D and three lenses and am very pleased. Focus performance is way better. The white balance options seem a little off, but tinkering with the menus got me colors I like.
