New Pentax K-5 for advanced amateurs and prosumers
Pentax has just released the K-5 which is set to replace the K-7 for the advanced amateur/prosumer segment of the DSLR market.
Among its feature set, several stand out, including:
-- 25fps 1080p HD video with and HDMI port for viewing on HDTVs;
-- improved high dynamic range (HDR) capture, along with an improved image alignment for handheld shots. You would normally use a tripod to get the multiple EV spread shots to get the baseline photos for blending to an HDR photo.
-- a stainless steel chasis with a magnesium alloy cover, along with a full weather sealing and coldproof. This would make the camera more rugged than most other models around. It would be great to bring along for any weather condition.
-- extended low-noise low-light capability, which can be pushed to an ISO sensitivity of 51,200.
-- a burst mode of up to 7 frames per second.
Considering its feature set, the K-5 is a step ahead of the Canon 550D and the Nikon D90, which are now their respective manufacturers are calling their entry level models. The price is also a step up at an MSRP of $1,599 (body only).
Most cameras which have been released in the past year have been focusing on better video capabilities, bigger and more innovations for the viewfinder LCD display, and a more affordable price point. At this price point, there are enough features to entice amateurs to upgrade from their older model entry-level camera and move a step up. The changes made on the body answer makes sure that this is a rugged model, and time would tell whether it lives up to its promise of durability.
