Certainly, the Pentax K5 DSLR camera offers more than enough in terms of features and heavy-duty functionality. This camera comes from a well-respected manufacturer, but more importantly it features a rich set of features based on new technology. For example, the K5 represents improvements in the ability to sense lighting conditions and images more accurately. If you like to quickly shoot photos, then you may find the all new auto-focus design to be more than adequate for your needs. There is an entirely new generation who naturally want to have fun with images and video by customizing them, and the K5 will speak to them directly with all it can do. There is much more to the Pentax K5, and we will get into that straight away.
There are increasingly greater demands being placed on cameras and actually all technological devices, it seems. We do feel that Pentax has stepped-up to the challenge on this point. Purposeful design that gives the user greater functionality in a wide variety of shooting situations has been built into the K5. Photos can be taken at almost a moments notice with the auto-focus design in the K5 which was not present in other models. We know you have experienced the frustration with decreased lighting photos, but we think this camera will exceed the performance of similar class digital SLR’s. The feedback from testing and user experiences have been positive.
If you are also a video shooter, then of course you can do that too with the K5. Actually, some people may not buy a digital camera if it did not have the ability to shoot video. We feel the video in the K5 is superior to what you will find in many other digital cameras. The resolution for the videos is 25 FPS or 1920 x 1080 pixels.
The view back resolution is an effective format equivalent to HD movies. As far as being able to customize your videos, they exist although not as extensive as what can be done for photos. One possible work-around for that is by making use of digital filtering.
Image stabilization is always an important consideration with a good digital camera. Pentax’s technology is called, Shake Reduction or SR, and is simply compensation of roughly 2.5 to 4 shutter steps. So no more worries about being perfectly still, although any compensation has its limits. The button for taking multiple exposures has been on earlier Pentax models, but you will not see it on this one. In order to do that, you will need to do custom settings adjustments.
A lot of folks love working with various customizing functions, and the Pentax K5 will satisfy the most avid enthusiasts.
You would expect to have more robust abilities with photographs, and you will find that to be true. So now worries about not being able to make the most from any photos you ever take.
