Description

Digital all-weather SLR that expands the boundaries of your photography with new capabilities and innovations in landscape photography

The PENTAX K-70 features a compact and small body to facilitate its transportation to any outdoor location for photography. Its outstanding all-weather performance and exceptional imaging power, combined with faithful image reproduction and high-sensitivity shooting, make it extremely reliable even under the most demanding photography conditions.

Whether it's a bright, blue sky, wild cloudy days, light rain showers, or a dark, starry sky, the PENTAX K-70 captures the beauty of the landscape in stunningly beautiful photographs.

Control Buttons and Function Dial

The redesigned grip ensures a firm hold on the camera body, even when wearing gloves. The four buttons of the control unit are curved for easy access and flawless operation, even when wearing gloves. The height of the function dial has been increased for easy rotation. The PENTAX K-70 is designed with meticulous attention to every detail to provide maximum comfort and ultimate functionality.

Accurate object detection even in low-light conditions

The PENTAX K-70 is equipped with a reliable high-sensitivity autofocus unit with 9 cross-type sensors in the center. It captures the subject with great precision even in low-light conditions - up to -3EV, where even the human eye has difficulty detecting an object.

Easy removal of dust particles from the image sensor

The image sensor of the PENTAX K-70 is covered by an innovative SP coating exclusive to PENTAX, to prevent dust from adhering to its surface. If any particles remain, the original DR (Dust Removal) mechanism shakes the sensor with high-speed vibrations, removing it and preventing the appearance of dust marks in the photograph.

    Purchase 10/2018 body only

    The 3rd Pentax DSLR I have. The K-70 was chosen for semi-professional use, mainly for jewelry photography with macro and pixel shift, and it did not disappoint. The RAW files with Pixel Shift are amazing! Of course, I also use it for other photos, and it does not disappoint there either. The 24MP is full of detail and there is plenty of room for cropping.

    Negatives

    - Weight, although compact.
    - AF speed, improved compared to previous models but definitely behind other DSLRs.
    - Expensive fixed lenses as well as zoom lenses, slow and outdated compared to other brands!

    Positives

    - Build quality. Made like a solid brick, incredible weather sealing. With the 18-55 WR lens, you have a camera for all weather conditions.
    - Stabilization for all lenses! I use lenses that I have from 1980 and at low speeds, which I couldn't imagine, for example, 200mm handheld at 1/20!
    - Articulating screen. It helps a lot in flower and insect photography, as well as in the studio on tripods.
    - Relatively good and fast WiFi, good application on mobile and tablet. Now there is also a corresponding one for Win10, "WiFi commander."
    - RAW file quality 14bit!

    Recommended for those who have already invested in Pentax lenses. Excellent for landscapes, portraits, and studio. Not recommended for sports, children running in the yard, and of course for videos.

    Until a few years ago, I was a fanatical supporter of Pentax. Now I can judge them more objectively. Top-notch build quality, which lags behind in AF and video compared to other brands. Small and old range of lenses, very few new lenses, expensive compared to other brands. Overrated Limited lens series, which certainly had something exceptional compared to what was available on the market 15 years ago. Check DXO and you will understand. The PK mount has now been abandoned by SIGMA & Tamron! The fact that there are thousands of old MF lenses that can be attached and used with the camera, while being creative and can teach you some things if you want to seriously engage in photography, is NOT practical at all.

    Very high quality and beautiful construction, that you enjoy holding, with user-friendly menu and good screen.
    The pixel shift function performs well in landscapes and static subjects, always with a tripod.
    The photo quality is generally good, with a small issue like the ks2 with the red which sometimes tends towards magenta.
    The 18-55 lens is good, sharper and brighter than the 18-50. However, it is noisy when focusing and its construction is entirely plastic, but waterproof.
    Overall, the variety of lenses suitable for this camera is limited, unlike the hundreds available for Canon and Nikon. This is certainly a deterrent for someone who wants to invest in lenses for professional use and for future bodies.
    Nevertheless, the camera has a style for someone who wants to stand out from the Canon-Nikon crowd by making a unique purchase.
    Its price varies quite a bit, I bought it for 550e with the 18-55WR.
