Dslr Pentax Digital Camera

[-2.5 to +1.5] I received my new Pentax KF DSLR on May 10th. I was finally able to go out for a little photo shot on 5/19 as the weather in my area was just rain, rain, rain. It was a major upgrade from my previous DSLR which I had for close to 20 years! So far, I like the camera. It is similar to my old DSLR so I'm comfortable with the camera. It has several features that I did not have on my previous Pentax K10D DSLR such as Wi-Fi, movies and a zoom lens. Hope to use these features this summer. The image quality is an improvement from my older camera and the zoom lens is easy to use. I've looked at other brands of cameras but always come back to Pentax.

[Stereo ] For all of us who cannot spend the money on the Lecia, Pentax gives us a wonderful Monochrome digital camera. Based on the K3 chassis it is a Monochrome only Pentax K-3 Mark iii. It is an APS-C professional-level camera. With excellent ergonomics that Pentax is known for. Yes everyone is dashing off on mirrorless but the bright, eyeglass-friendly viewfinder is wonderful. With a nice catalog of lenses, this is a black-and-white camera that can be used in any situation. Finally black and white with excellent fine resolution, usable high ISO, and professional grade. The images have fine detail, highlights, and shadows. Easy-to-use menus and settings that address every situation you may encounter. For those who remember all those color filters for black and white are usable to manipulate the the images before tripping the shutter button. Two things to consider. LCD panel does not flip up or rotate. I use a Ref a right angle viewfinder by Pentax. It works well on all the 35mm Pentax cameras and some other brands. It rotates and has a 2x setting which is nice for macro. The other thing I have noticed is the very sensitive shutter button. It has a very sensitive and short motion to trip the shutter. I can highly recommend this camera to anyone who wants to do Monochrome. You will not be disappointed Monochrome is far from a niche place in photography. You see it in many venues. It is not limited now to the conversion of color digital or shooting film. We now have a well thought out Monochrome from Pentax at a more palatable price than Lecia.

[Aluminum] Purchased this item for my new Pentax K200D digital camera. I have two older Pentax cameras in which the filter size is different on them. I do have this particular filter for the older cameras. This is why I purchased it for the new one. I have purchased from B&H before and have always been satisfied...

[1,037,000 Dot] I have been using Pentax digital cameras for 5 years now. I have own and use a Pentax *ist DL, K-x, two K-200D's and now a K-7. I have enjoyed every Pentax camera I have, but the K-7 is truly an artist's camera. Removed of superfluous gimmicks, the K-7 is incredibly versatile and with configurable options and architecture for getting exactly the shot you want. The pictures, especially compared to Canon and Nikon are much sharper, are accepted and edited will in Aperture in RAW format and produce excellent prints and other digital media. The video is excellent and in many ways surpasses other DSLR video I have seen. As with many, it is less than idea in very low light, but does competitively well. The battery grip by Pentax is overpriced in my opinion but still a good option and makes the camera much more ergonomic for the grip. Consider a third party battery grip of good quality. Haven't found anything that is remotely a functional or performance deal breaker with this camera. Great quality build and body, great functionality and superior images. instantly my favorite camera to use.

[1.4x] I ordered this to utilize some of my old Pentax lenses with my Nikon DSLR -- It works quite well!

[0.1 lb] Bought this cable to go from my Nikon D4 DSLR camera and the off-camera digital recorder. So far it works perfectly and seems to provide good strain relief. It's a nice short length so it doesn't get in the way of anything!

[0.585 lb] I am a beginner photographer, I bought a Canon DSLR 550D and while looking at the digital screen of the camera while looking at the subject to be photographed and looking again at the digital screen after the picture was taken, the colors where off by a lot, looked it up online how to fix it and learned about white balance, bought this set of cards and the off colors are now Perfect Colors!

[Yes] This is my first DSLR - officially going digital after being a darkroom junkie for 15 years. I use it to shoot a lot of landscape and architecture and candid shots. Outdoors mostly. As opposed to the Nikon or Canon that are in the same field, this camera has water lock which will help me keep it safe in all the strange conditions into which i trapse. Not so great is the high iso quality. Coming from a film background i can not tolerate a pixelated look - so low light and hgh iso are not the best friends to me. But i can use my pentax lenses in this one or on my film camera so i still have the option to shoot in those settings with film.

[0.25 lb] I'm really happy with the quality of images using vintage lenses with a digital camera. I love being able to use my FD lenses with my DSLR. It functions smoothly and helps me keep my equipment minimal.

So far in my tests I have found the quality of pictures to be impeccable. The built in stabilization is a game changer. I upgraded from an older DSLR the digital viewfinder of a mirrorless camera is something I never knew I would enjoy this much. I can see exactly what my picture will look like before even taking the picture. Switching from DSLR to Mirrorless feels like using an entirely different class of camera almost from switching from a film camera to a digital camera.
