Latest Review Posted | Pentax K-5 II here is a little reviewof my Pentax K-5 II:
I own this camera now since oct. 2012, and im more than proud to own this wonderful camera! To note out the positive features, i will start with the (very few) negatives.
- video mode is not so sophisticated like in other DSLR's (doesnt matter to me since im not using video mode very often at all, but it surely may be important for other users)
- since i own my K-5 II, i had 2 total freezes of the camera. In some situations this could be bothersome. Maybe i should install the newest firmware, and the problem will be fixed.
Now to the positive points:
- very good build quality, it really has the feel and look of an everlasting camera, which will stay at your side for years and years.
- stunning image quality (high dynamic range, low noise, good resolution)
- very professional and intuitive handling of the camera like my old K-7
- very compact, compared to other semi-professional DSLR's like EOS 7D/Nikon D7100/Olympus E-5
- stealthy shutter sound (very good for nature photography etc.)
- fully weather resistant, even with the provided kit-lens!!
- very fast response from camera, including autofocus
- AF can focus down to -3EV (Moonlight)
All in all, this is the best Camera i have ever owned, and i owned some of Pentax DSLR's (*ist DL -> K200D -> K-7 ->K-5 II
I hope you enjoyed this short review! |
