Pentax Camera/DSLR Reviews


  • Pentax K-01
    The Pentax K-01 is the first mirrorless camera that accepts a complete DSLR lens lineup. It delivers exceptional image quality and has a unique design by Marc Newson.


  • Pentax Optio WG-2 GPS
    The Optio WG-2 GPS represents the 13th generation of waterproof digital cameras from Pentax. It features improved video recording, a high 16-megapixel resolution, and other exciting new features compared to its predecessor.


  • Pentax K-5
    A top-notch prosumer DSLR featuring a 16.3 megapixel sensor with best-in-class noise control, dynamic range, and image quality, with the ability to go all the way up to ISO 51200. Designed for the advanced amateur or professional, it is fully weather-sealed and features a brand-new autofocus system that employs a light wavelength sensor for quick and accurate focusing, as well as a 7FPS shutter ideal for action photography. We've concluded that this is the best Pentax DSLR to date!


  • Pentax K-r
    An intro-level DSLR with 12.4 megapixels that improves upon the features of the K-x. While not as good of a value as the K-x, it's certainly an upgrade in all respects.


  • Pentax K-x
    This camera rocked the into-level DSLR market. Now available new for under $500, it delivers excellent 12.4-megapixel image quality and a plethora of features at an unbeatable price, including movie mode including shake reduction.
