Experience Digital Processing Diversity with The Pentax K5 DSLR Camera
January 23rd, 2012
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. The Pentax K5′s processing and improved sensing capabilities are the natural result of Pentax research. 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. Follow along to discover more of the power the Pentax K5 has to offer.
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. Just as one example, and there are more, is the greatly enhanced speed of auto-focusing. 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.
The K5, like all the rest, has a video feature so you can take your videos alongside of your photos. It is just one of those feature areas where manufacturers do not want to drop the ball. However, it is not like Pentax included video as an afterthought, and the images are solid and excellent quality. The pixel resolution for the K5 video is a standard 1920 x 1080.
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.
Naturally, any digital SLR worth its salt will have superior compensation for shaky hands while shooting. The K5 uses Pentax’s Shake Reduction mode to offset unsteadiness while you take your shots. 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. You can, however, still get this done through other means involving programming.
A lot of folks love working with various customizing functions, and the Pentax K5 will satisfy the most avid enthusiasts.
However, do remember that what is available for video is less than that for images. So now worries about not being able to make the most from any photos you ever take.
