Product Description

This new dustproof, weather-resistant and cold-resistant camera includes a newly developed SAFOX X AF sensor that delivers the broadest autofocusing EV range (-3 EV to +18 EV) in its class. The new PENTAX K-5 II / K-5 IIs offer a compact, solid body that delivers high quality image reproduction, especially when working in low light conditions. The camera’s new, highly sensitive AF sensor enables photographers to work with a luminous flux based on F2.8 levels in addition to F5.6, which increases the AF accuracy when using fast lenses. The AF sensor also includes an upgraded AF algorithm as well as the Select-Area Expansion feature, which automatically tracks the subject when it deviates from a pre-assigned selection point, by assessing data from neighboring sensors.

Still Capable and Fun to shoot

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2023

Verified Purchase

Modern mirrorless cameras are high megapixel, specialized auto-focus , fast frame rate, low-light beast with superb lenses and fantastic editing software available. Is a 13 year old, 16 megapixel DSLR still relevant? If you are a novice looking for an affordable camera that produces good quality images, then maybe. Many people would recommend purchasing mirrorless, but I still find the DSLR a very capable and fun camera to shoot with. Pentax cameras have good weather sealing, have a variety of lenses and more modern cameras bodies available. It should be noted that the auto-focus on this camera is capable under most conditions. No camera is right for everyone. A camera recommendation/purchase should be made based on individual budget and need. This camera is fun to shoot.

The attached photos were shot in RAW, but converted to Jpeg. No additional editing was done.

Are there better. Of course, It will cost much more though.

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2014

Verified Purchase

Being around cameras with friends, and family for many years, I have had Canons, Nikons, Olympus, and Sony's, and Pentax.

I wanted a replacement for my fine, though limited Sony NEX-5n. Lens choices, lack of a viewfinder, could never really warm up to the EVF that was the option on the NEX-5n. Sold that combination, and moved on.

Moved to my new home in the Northwest. Wanted a camera for the action I would see, hiking fishing, site seeing etc. The Canon T5i was sweetheart choice with its touchscreen, small size, and reasonable price.
I wanted great portability, great build, low price. Ready to buy, call it good!

Then I came across the Pentax K-5II. Here is a camera I had been watching, but could not afford. All the things I liked, but the price! To be fair, Canon, and Nikon were the same.

So Amazon here had it for almost half off. Could not resist. Bought it sight unseen. What a nut I thought. But as they say crazy as a fox.

My quick observations.

Quality of build. Excellent. Reminds me of my old D200 Nikon. But much lighter. A good thing. The Magnesium alloy body with 75 seals is very confidence inspiring in the hand. Dials, switches are easy to work. Size is a bit small, but a trifle bigger than the Canon T5i I was going to purchase. Looking closely at a battery grip for my big hands to have place to be.

Use, and operation could not be easier for me. Compared to the Sony, this is easy well thought out with lesser things I don't worry much about out of the way. Would like the shooting mode i.e. multi frame shooting self timer etc. more accessible though. Also the mode shutter speed, and aperture are backwards from what I am used too. No big deal there, just mentioning.

With the 18-55mm WR lens, couldn't be happier for things close up, but distance, and low light, not so much. Good, like my other kit lenses, plus the seal around the mount. Nothing bad, just nothing special.

Going to get a 35mm prime, and a 70-300 for the distance game, the former for low light, bokeh stuff.

I love the color, and detail best. Better than my Olympus E10, but my E10 has better glass, seems sharper than the K5, but the speed of focus, and operation make the Oly a slug!

Wide dynamics, and great shadow detail, make my post work fun, and easy. So not much need be said here, other than, I confirm what most have said here. Very capable, fun to use, built well, nice image quality especially low light ISO, My favorite DSLR so far. My next for the record would have been my Nikon D90 with battery grip, and 50mm f.1.8 lens. I want an F1.8 or F1.4 for my K5. We'll see how that goes. A winner, and recommended, the K5!

K5-ll with shutter/mirror problem

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2015

Verified Purchase

I am torn how to rate this camera. I have enjoyed K-5ll and the images it captures immensely. I previously owned and extensively used K7 and K5 both before acquiring K-5ll in 2013 and I take care of my camera or cameras and lenses like my babies. Without warning, during a photo shoot of a young child, shutter/mirror box began to have serious malfunction. I would to report back here after the issue is resolved. While traveling overseas with my K5 in 2012, I had a motor issue with the shutter that caused camera to cease all its function of 'taking photo". Shutter release would not move...and I learned many things about the inconvenience of the repairs and how, we consumers are on the short end of the stick sometimes, unless we are persistent.
Now, with K5-ll shutter mirror malfunction, I would like to describe what it does. I approach a subject and release my shutter, and it does not focus quickly, then you hear the shutter, click, clunck, then the mechanism inside is stuck so the viewfinder is obscured, sometimes it stays stuck and won't allow the next release. Then, almost all the time, after a few attempts to work with this situation, it goes into the awful repetitive mirror fluttering or crazy motion of mirror slapping. It is the most unexpected and almost scary sound that you hear coming from a camera. Since this happened as weekend evening was approaching, I had not been able to receive a reply from any of the 'true repair" folks. I am very curious to see if anyone else has had this problem.

As much as I constantly bragged about Pentax cameras in the past and convinced so many of my amateur friends (who are wanting to go into a bit more serious camera) to purchase K5 or K7 in the last 3-5 yrs, I feel somewhat accountable to raise this issue to make others aware. Perhaps, purchasing additional warranty may serve us well, however for me, it was immediately after the 2 yr mark. I would like to give it 5 star for the images and other functions, however, mirror/shutter issue that happened now both K5 and K5 ll, I feel the need to be cautious in my recommendations. I am not a professional photographer who goes through thousands of photos a month, so it took 2 years to wear out? Likely issues would have surfaced sooner for those who really shoot often.
