The Pentax KP has proven to be a high-performance DSLR which makes no compromises in terms of image quality or construction. In fact, as of mid-2017, it delivers the best image quality of any Pentax APS-C DSLR thanks to the new 24-megapixel sensor's...

It’s not quite the best all-round option at this price, and is outgunned by many cheaper rivals, but fine build quality, snappy AF and excellent image quality make the Pentax KP worth a look.

Coming on like a K-1 that's been shrunk in the wash, the Pentax KP inherits lots of its big brother's key features in a smaller, lighter and cheaper package. We particularly like the easily removable hand-grip, especially as the three different...

These days, many (if not most) consumers are likely to shop based on price and capability, rather than according to whether a certain model contains a mirror, or not. We think this is a good thing; with all the increased competition, cameras are...

Kameran är tätad, och vi gillar den vinklingsbara skärmen. Dessutom är det fiffigt med det utbytbara handgreppet.Bildkvaliteten är inte den allra bästa, och KP överträffas på många punkter av sin kvicka lillebror K-3 II som bara kostar 7 990...

外観はカッコイイオートフォーカス速くて正確ダイアル含め操作性は高い防塵防滴の安心感があるミラーレスに比べると大きくて重いまだまだ使いこなしていないの薄いレビューしかできていませんが、ファーストインプレッションはとても気に入っています。マイクロフォーサーズを好んで使っていたので、久しぶりのAPS-Cサイズのカメラも楽しみですね。家族連れでも気軽に撮影したくなるような軽快さはないけれど、やっぱり一眼レフは写真を撮るぞーって気分にさせてくれます。これからいくつかレビューを書いていくのどうぞお楽しみに！ペンタック...
