Pentax K-5 Review
Announced Sep 20, 2010
•
16 megapixels | 3″ screen | APS-C sensor
dpreview conclusion
The Pentax K-5's compact, solid body, generally well thought-out ergonomics, comprehensive feature set, and excellent image quality, in both still and movie modes make it one of the best APS-C DSLRs currently on the market.
Good for
enthusiast photographers who need a rugged body and and great low light performance.
Not so good for
shooters who need the quickest possible access to movie mode.
