Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Pentax K-3 Mark III Body

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!

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.

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 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.

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

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.

I have had this camera for about 1 month, and so far, I really like it. The K-30 is easy to set up and use, and seems to be quite robust. One thing that I think is really cool about this camera is that it can run on AA batteries. Unfortunately, you must buy the battery pack for the use of AA batteries seperately.I bought the 18 - 135 mm lens, which is very versatile. My daughter is in soccer right now, and its really great for both action photos, and portraits.

light is not powerful enough for my dark house. colors are not true. actually, they are way off! however it is a sturdy water resistant camera probably great for camping and outdoor activities. kind of on the heavy side though.maybe mine just didn't work correctly. pentax wanted me to send it in for repair, but i returned instead since it never worked right in the 3 days i had it.also expensive, i felt.

I've only taken 100 or so pictures, but initial impressions:Very solid build qualityI like the white finishgreat ergonomicsI like the 2 control dials for adjusting settingsExcellent image qualityno complaints thus far

I've been a big Pentax fan for about three years now. They always have a quality product that never fails. The K-30 is great in all weather condition. I shoot a lot of nature and wildlife. I am happy with the purchase.

We were shooting a K-100, which was good, but with kids moving into sports and a big trip coming up, we felt it was time to upgrade. Paired with the Sigma 18-250 as the walking-around lens and the Pentax 50 f1.4 for low light/no flash situations, it's a versatile package and a great upgrade.

I paired the Pentax K-30 Body with my old (25 years) Pentax lenses. I have received very good results even without taking advantage of all of the features. Next step will be to get a modern lens.

This is an additional camera or up grade from my Pentax Di which I love. This camera is more intuative. I can have complete contorl of all or just specific areas of the camera functions.I would recomend it to any one who wants a do it all camera but with the ability to make your own temporary or semi-premanent adjustments to it. Is completely compatable with my other Pentax equipment.I ordered replacement battery and also the AA adapter for more versatility.I was a bit surprised to find that it came with a European power cord instead of the standard USA style. Not a problem as I had other power cords of the proper type. I do have one concern - I received no confirmation from Pentax when I attempted to register the camera with the company. (No indicator on streen that the registration went.)

It takes great pictures. The display is easy to read. I have used it in rain storms and it has worked great.

This is my first DSLR. My Dad used to do some photography and he had an old Pentax SLR. He wanted me to buy PENTAX and PENTAX only. Added perk was that his old (1970-80s) lenses are compatible with this, albeit you have to use them in manual focus mode. That sounded great to me!Now, I have the 18-55(kit lens), 35-70 and 70-210(old ones) lenses with this monster. The picture quality is excellent and it looks better than the real thing on my 42" HDTV.I am good to start my photography journey and I'm super excited!P.S.: I got a better price elsewhere during Thanksgiving.

This camera has high iso capabilities, video and a fast frame per second rate.Plus I love the blue color! This camera has a cool look!Four months of ownership my beloved camera has failed me.The metering system has somehow gone haywire and my pictures are coming out black from underexposure.I had to return it to the manufacturer for service. Good thing I held on to my K200D so I've got a back up.Maybe Pentax quality control isn't what it should be?

This is the easiest DSLR I have ever used. Much better that older Pentax models. Excellent pictures in the just the first few., and I mean excellent. Surprised my Cannon buddies!

Great camera! Love the feel of it. Glad I went with the blue color - little more unique. Lots of features to learn still. Seems to take sharp pictures. Hope to have this camera for a long-long time.

the camera just makes me happy. the images are great and i know there are better reviews, so here are my five stars!

Meets all expectations.Compatable with my other Pentax lenses and performs as expected.Replaced my Pentax film camera with the K-30 and am as happy with the new addition as I was with my film cameras-both Pentax.

Pentax K-30 Weather-Sealed 16 MP CMOS Digital SLR with 18-135mm Lens (Black)I've had the new Pentax K30 for about one month now. I was totally astonished at the quality build of this camera. Optics are top notch and can match any of the top end dslr"s there are on the market. Design is great. It is very comfortable to handle and light when you have to carry it. Best camera out there for the money. Attention. Get to know the manual inside and out. You will need it. If your a tech. nut like me, you will love this camera. I've only made eight and a half by eleven blow ups and they are crisp and sharp as a tack. I'm sure that 20 X 30 inch prints would be no problem with the 16 MP sensor but then the optics make all the difference.
