Digital SLR Assessment - Pentax k5 Review

Pentax has slowly been coming up over the other contenders
in the DSLR category, starting with very affordable and legacy lens compatible DSLRs. But their latest offering, the Pentax K-5 16 megapixel camera is a lens that excels in its class, with a very commendable 16 megapixel CMOS sensor and video capabilities.

This Pentax k5 review aims to present the facts, both pros and cons, of the camera. A notable improvement of the Pentax K-5 16.3 MP Digital SLR with 18-55mm Lens over its predecessor, the k7, is that it has a huge 16.3 megapixel sensor that has good image and color reproduction quality for the crop sensor category, and also capable of capturing with very high ISO.

The Pentax k-5 16 megapixel sensor can produce excellent images and is able to capture a very wide dynamic range, making you catch good details in both the shadows and highlights areas. This is very helpful when shooting in very bright light or in dim areas which look out onto direct sunlight. The highlight protection option maximizes the dynamic range capability, Pentax k5 reviews and tests conclude.

This camera has an astonishing ISO range of 80 to 51,200. This means that the photographer has an even wider ISO range to choose from, enabling faster shooting speeds during darker conditions while still being able to capture a bright image. This can be used fully in night shots or in indoor shots like parties or concerts which have relatively darker lighting conditions compared to outdoor and studio photography.

The Pentax K-5 16.3 MP Digital SLR with 18-55mm Lens is a DSLR kit that has a very good deal for the price. The camera is often sold with only the body and you have to purchase a lens of your choosing or connect it with a lens you already have. With the 18 to 55 lens, the Pentax k5 review has found that both the wide and normal focal lengths are available to the shooter. This means that one can select the 18 or similar focal length through zooming out, and thus taking in more of the scene in a picture, while the 55mm range is good enough for zooming in on farther away subjects or taking portrait shots, all in a single lens.
