Pentax has unveiled its latest DSLR, the K-50, which is boasted as exceeding its classification as a mid-level shooter via a variety of advanced features. Aimed at consumers, this DSLR also offers quite a few color combinations – 120, to be exact – which allows photographers to personalize their purchase and set it apart from other K-50s. The camera is available now for $699.99 (body only) and $779.95 (with lens).
One of the more notable aspects of the Pentax K-50 is its 81 weather seals, making it water resistant in a variety of situations, such as shooting in the rain. This is joined by a burst shooting mode of 6-frames-per-second, SAFOX IX+ tracking autofocus, and a high ISO of 51,200, with Pentax saying such a high sensitivity in combination with the AF results in clear low-light images.
The viewfinder has a 100-percent field-of-view, as well as shake reduction, a shutter speed of 1/6,000th of a second, and interchangeable focusing screens. And for those of you enjoy the convenience of wireless image transfer, the camera also has integrated Eye-fi support. Also unveiled today was the 16-megapixel K-500 DSLR, which is entry-level and has similar features, including high ISO (51,200), 100-pecent field of view, and shake reduction.
Pentax’s Executive Vice President Jim Malcolm said: “The K-50 introduces features that raise the bar in the mid-level DSLR class. Not only do the hardware and software specs outclass competitors, the Color to Order system is an industry first making it a truly unique offering among a sea of similarity.” There’s no word on price or release date for the K-500.
