- Today.
- More and more companies are launching to offer their products in the digital photography market.
- Each of which offers us countless models with even more innovative features that can make even the most experienced doubt to choose the camera that best suits their needs.
It is in this context that Pentax with its K-5 II forces us to ask ourselves a new question, it has been a year since its launch, so it is time for the photographer’s blog to test it and share our thanks with everyone.You.
As mentioned earlier during the introduction of the latest Pentax camera models, the K-5 II is a versatile monster that comes to compete with models like the Nikon D7000 or Canon 7D, but at a more affordable price and with few features to envy.Them.
The K-5 II positions Pentax at another level in the digital photography market. Its high-resolution CMOS sensor, autofocus systems, noise and dust reduction added to your pentapr view and magnesium alloy housing make this camera an attractive option to consider when upgrading our equipment.
The K-5 II is a robust, feature-rich camera designed to keep focus away from its main competitors.Just by taking a quick look at its features, you’ll notice that some of them might compare it more to a professional camera., even if the size of the sensor and the number of focus points, for example, remind us that we are looking at a team designed for these fans that requires a more complete camera.
If you’re new to the world of photography, maybe this camera is a bit advanced for this stage of learning, plus the K-5 II is still a semi-professional team.
Beyond the impressive features built into the Pentax k-5 II, I should point out the following:

Some photos taken with the Pentax K-5 II, such as
In the world of photography not everything is Nikon or Canon, there are other brands that can also or better meet our photographic needs, as in the case of the Pentax K-5 II, the cameras they offer us have nothing to envy of these giants of the industry.
It seems that lately Pentax is determined to gain ground against its competitors in the market, by launching a wide variety of cameras that target all segments, time will tell if these teams are actually as promising as they seem.According to the latest surveys published by JD Power Assosiates, in 2012, photographers who opted for Pentax cameras are the most satisfied with the product obtained from all brands, surpassing even those in the industry.
