| Latest Review Posted | Pentax K-5 IIs
This is my second DSLR and was upgraded from the K-x. First off...i shoot everything. Did 2 weddings, countless concerts and already have over 100,000 clicks on this camera. Its been in the rain, the cold, left in the car a 100 degrees. Not even a hiccup so far.
Its small enough that i can take it anywhere with a small lens and have enough addons to it with the battery grip and gps-o1 that i can take it out for a week and not worry. I can use any lens on it too...the kit lens from the k-x works awesome on the camera and is razor sharp.
My favorites for far:
1. ISO 6400 and above is usable when you can use a flash. it is possible to shoot at night handheld with this camera with some practice and get competition worthy results.
2. Fits my hand perfectly and the screen and menus are very easy to learn..especially for someone just picking it up.
3. Much faster autofocus than the k-x and spot in low light. I've locked on in almost dark conditions and still got the shot.
4. Accessories like the gps-01 make it awesome for astrophotography,
5. Extremely reliable. I expect another 100,000 more clicks at least.
6. Did i say sharp? Yes. i very rarely have to use the sharpening tool when i shoot landscapes. |
