Top 13 Best APS-C Digital SLRs For Enthusiasts | ePHOTOzine

Summary lots to like if you love Pentax. However at least two of the selected Pentax bodies (K3ii and KS2) are - as far as I know - discontinued.

Good to see the KP is in there.

Wow. That's kind of surprising that there are so many Pentax cameras in the list but also, at the same time, not very surprising at all Pentax makes some very well rounded and feature rich cameras. Although I am a bit surprised to see the D500 down so low.

Nothing objective listed. No metrics. I am not even sure it is a ranked list as much as it is 13 good cameras in a list.

I doubt with the right lenses any of these would suck.

Sort of an odd article. The list seems to be based on ephotozine's reviews of the past several years (for example, they reviewed the K-3 II in mid-2015). Some of the comments go back to 2015-2016, so I guess this is a revised or updated piece. Still, it might be a useful list for someone who is looking for a camera.

Each camera review is linked in the list -- click on the name of the camera that appears in blue. I can't vouch for the quality of the reviews or the validity of the ratings.

Seems fair enough, Pentax cameras have been highly rated over the years.

LOL - I'd agree. Think pretty hard to go wrong with any of the cameras here. From a bang for the buck, Pentax certainly deserves the representation.

Pentax is doing very well for a company that is supposed to be doomed.

Well now you've just doomed them to be doomed. You've just double doomed doomed them.
