Why buy less Pentax, is Pentax not good, I feel that Pentax K5 is not good

The first few said that Pentax is bad, and Canon Nikon is far above Pentax is definitely nonsense! Only if you use it can you have a voice! Are Pentax Classic Cameras Less?

Do you need to introduce Pentax's original lenses again? Once K5 is on sale, its reputation in overseas professional ** is very good! Absolutely great value for money!

The K5's performance indicators are directly aimed at Canon 60D Nikon D7000 and other mid-to-high-end products, but its price is a big step higher than their bottom, and the cost performance is super strong! And Pentax's coating technology is also one of the best in the world! Not to mention Pentax's original lenses, the quality has always been outstanding!

However, Pentax is not good at operating the market and capital, although it has good products, it will not be sold like Canon Nikon, and it was first sold to Hoya, and now it is sold to Ricoh, so the brand effect is even more discounted. Now this market is closed without technology alone, but fortunately, Pentax's long-term accumulated reputation and vivid color image quality still firmly attract many followers! Of course, compared to Nikon Canon, which advertises every day, it is a lot less, do you see that Pentax advertises?。。

I think there is the previous one who said that Sony's strength is far above Pentax? If you want to say digital audio-visual products, I agree, you say camera? I caress your childish head and laugh without saying a word.

To be precise, Pentax is a brand, not a company. Now the Pentax camera part belongs to Ricoh, which used to belong to Hoya, which is just a department, and it may be sold at any time under the parent company.

Canon and Nikon are very large companies and are involved in a wide range of fields, such as Canon's printers are well-known. Nikon has a strong national background, and Nikkon originally means Japanese optics. Sony's strength is also far above Pentax.

Large companies have a stronger understanding of the market, more mature marketing, and better marketing. These three companies are much stronger than Pentax in terms of R&D foundation, market positioning, and production costs.

In this respect, Pentax is weak in other aspects, and if it wants to survive, it can only make its own characteristics and be more competitive in products to survive. That's why many people feel that Pentax cameras are more cost-effective. Imagine if K5 also sells to 7D's **, who still chooses K5, Pentax will not go out of business sooner.

It is completely impossible for Pentax to regain the glory of the M42 era in the short term, and it is still in a state of survival in the cracks. It's hard to say whether it will be able to get up in the future, but it's hard to imagine that Pentax would be like this back then.

Pentax's K10 was a serious quality gate, and the development of the full-frame K1 was severely frustrated, which seriously affected his performance, and Pentax was sold several times between 2006 and 2011, each time interrupting all R&D plans and marketing planning. Therefore, Pentax is getting worse and worse, and I hope that after it is finally sold to Ricoh, Pentax's operation and management will be more stable and develop some good products.

ps: I'm a Pentax user, and I'm still an old user, so I'm talking about a more objective point of view.

SLR or choose Canon, 600D with 18-55, rich configuration, good imaging. Feel and weight are OK, for beginners who love photography, this is a very good model, easy to use, easy to control, 18-55 is also suitable for novices, **low.

Which one is reliable on the Internet, my ZR3 was bought in Midorimori, it feels good, but it doesn't sell kr there. In addition, the Pentax sellers on the **, with a good reputation, have Shanghai V Vision, Chengdu Xunjie Digital, Nanjing, Huaxiang, Shenzhen,

Don't listen to the on the first floor, Pentax was acquired, Bin does not mean that there will be no Pentax in the future, Ricoh has handed over the photography division to Pentax for merger and development,

The K5 has few focus points, a slightly slower focusing speed, and a less extensive lens group than the Nikon.

The four-way key layout is downward, and switching focus points will be uncomfortable for users with large hands.

The after-sales service is not good, there are too few physical stores, it is not easy to buy, and it is not easy to repair.

The biggest disadvantage of the K5 itself is that the focusing performance is weaker than that of Nikon, which is highlighted in the tracking of continuous focusing, the low success rate of continuous capture, and the tendency to go out of focus. That's all. As for what reflector jumping door, pixel chaos door, it is all a case.

Because Pentax's quality management is not as good as that of large manufacturers such as Nikon and Canon, this kind of problem is inevitable.

If you don't consider the richness of the lens, the K5 is really a perfect machine, worthy of that price. You must know that the upgraded version of the K5, the K5II, is only an upgrade to the focusing system.

It is recommended to enter K5+1855WR first, Pentax will release a lot of new lenses in the next 2 years, and next year's 18-85 star head is worth paying attention to.

I feel that the landlord does not understand what picture quality is, and the image quality represents the performance of the camera, not the function of the camera.

DXO gives the camera's ability to produce images under RAW, which is related to the number of pixels in CMOS; focusing mode; Viewfinder and so on, are irrelevant.

Theoretically, it makes sense that two cameras shoot the same scene at the same time, regardless of any of the camera's functions, and which camera produces good pictures is a good camera. However, the actual application is not entirely so, because in the process of shooting, it also involves the convenience of the camera; focus settings; factors such as the influence of the environment on the shooting.

To put it simply, the image quality of Canon cameras may be worse than that of Pentax cameras, but in some special environments, the production rate is higher, which is not contradictory.

The so-called good camera, the so-called high-end camera, the function and performance are not actually exactly the same. This is also a characteristic of different manufacturers, and it is also the main parameter that must be considered when buying a camera.

The image quality evaluation of DXO mainly includes the following items:

Color depth, dynamic range, high ISO

The last two of these three are the K5's strong points, among which the dynamic range is currently the highest model, and the high ISO effect is also in the top three in the APS-C format, and the color depth is also very good.

On the other hand, the 7D CMOS, Canon does not exceed the 12EV CMOS, and the score in dynamic range suffers a lot, and the high ISO effect is not very good, and it is difficult to support the ranking with color depth alone.

As for the focusing viewfinder or something,It doesn't affect the evaluation results of the laboratory image quality,7D In fact, except for the focus of the K5,There is no big advantage over K5 in other aspects。

Parameters do not represent image quality. Focusing fast only allows you to capture faster. The pixel height only allows you to expand the printing easily. The viewfinders are all 100. It doesn't make a difference. The K5 has a good sense of high and a high degree of tolerance. The K5's forgiveness ranks first in full-frame.

Picture quality and camera function are two different things.

Sit back and wait for the master. Personally, I prefer Pentax's.

In fact, K5 and 7K are really similar, and I personally think the only gap is the user base. Like me, unless Pentax shows teased or CN sends big benefits, how can I enter the P family.

Body: K5 is good, three-proof body, alloy, small (of course, this is considered a disadvantage in the eyes of some people......）

Anti-shake:K5Good,P home is the whole system of body anti-shake,N home is lens anti-shake,Of course,It doesn't matter if you are equipped with an anti-shake head。

Picture quality: Tie, the same CMOS, but the imaging style is different (I always mixed in the P altar back then, and I went to the N altar by chance, and my eyes suddenly lit up). Pentax is very characteristic of color expression, while Nikon style is more documentary and sharp.

Shutter speed: 7K, the same mid-range machine, the shutter speed is the same, but with a camera, it has to talk about focusing speed, which is relatively not as fast as CN.

If you want to shoot, you will have to deal with the group of shots. Pentax lenses are less, but from 18 to 300, from prime to zoom, from 300 yuan to thousands of yuan. Pentax lenses are expensive?

The most expensive thing on the market is the star 535 with more than 6,000 dollars, and I hope he will be a little more expensive. Pentax's shortcomings in the lens group are, first, that there is no cheap large aperture (only a manual head of the last century), and second, there is no bull head of more than 1w yuan (some are all old goods of the last century, and there is no market).

Go to Mowgli to see more samples, mainly look at Pentax's style (mainly look at color) and D7000 samples (ignore other models first), and see which one you like. After that, if you like 7k, you can buy it directly, and if you like p, you ......Do your homework again and look at the lens group, if you can accept it, it's not too late to buy it.

K5Positioned as Pentax's flagship machine,It's very cost-effective,It's true,But there's a problem with the lens,At present, Pentax has fewer lenses (more Canon and Nikon),And most of the good lenses are more expensive, which involves a lens communication problem,If the surrounding friends are using C,N's things, then you can usually exchange lenses to play。

Also, K-5 Some time ago, there were stained doors and reflectors jumping out of the door, it is recommended that you go to the forum to take a look, compare the output of each camera, and consider it comprehensively.

You're right about the two. The core sensor is supported by Sony. (The stain door that appears on both machines is because of the technical support provided by Sony at the same time,Not only K5 upstairs) Actually, you don't have to worry about this,There are inevitably individual differences in the same batch,It should be said that there is no big difference in imaging quality。

I don't know how to compare who is good and who is bad, this is just a little complaint and a little saliva surrounded by major brands. Ignore it.

Same picture quality. But Pentax is smaller, more portable, the size is only Nikon D5100 Canon 500D is generally large, the disadvantage of SLR is that it is large in size and large in mass. So I'm leaning towards k5 at this point.

Moreover, K5's three defenses are in place. Generally, if you are in a light rain, you can shoot it directly with 18-55wr, and you don't have to worry about getting into the water. K5 body SR image stabilization, all lenses are installed to achieve image stabilization.

Therefore, Pentax does not have the term lens stabilization. And the lens without stabilization is much cheaper. If you want to talk about the shortcomings, Pentax also has them, such as not having a full camera, and the zoom lens is slightly weaker (Pentax is good at fixed focus).

There are not as many PK ports as the sub-factory lenses. Pentax, for example, should be prepared to play focus. Pentax with fixed focus is king.

The group of shots is no less than that of any one of them. I've used both n and p. There is no problem with Pentax lenses, but very few players have raised the problem that the Pentax SDM ultrasonic lenses (there are only a few such Pentax heads) have failed.

For example, DA17-70 DA16-50 DA 50-135 actually rarely fails, but there are few of them, and they all feel that Pentax's SDM technology is not testable.

In fact, no one dares to guarantee that the ultrasound of the C N family has not failed, and the fans of the forum cn do not have to hold on to Pentax. (After all, C n is the majority, and Pentax users are only in the minority, so this comparison is very expensive), in fact, the rational analysis difference is really not as big as they say. Each family has to gain a foothold, and there is competition, so each has its own strengths.

Each family with different lenses can be a good way to shoot landscapes, portraits, humanities and so on. If someone says that Canon is good for characters, Nikon is good for landscapes, and Pentax is good for humanities, then I believe that this player is still in the initial stage of photography.

The current water (**Hong Kong water) is only more than 700-900 on **, so for your own convenience, don't be greedy for a few small cheap, or buy licensed goods!

On the eve of the Spring Festival, I just bought a Pentax K-5 National Bank (Mercedes Digital ** Store) in Zhongguancun, with a single body of 6900, plus 18-55 and 50-200 two official heads, the full price is 9400 yuan. Plus high-speed card 16G, backpack, Kense UV and other accessories, a total of 9900 yuan. The comprehensive quality of this machine is between Nikon D7000 and Canon 7D, and it belongs to the flagship level of the mid-range SLR!!

The main reasons for my fancy are: first, Pentax is the inventor of the world's first single-lens reflex camera and the first pentaprism; Second, her products are durable and exquisitely structured, achieving the real "three proofs", that is, waterproof, drop-proof and dust-proof; Third, the imaging color is rich, gorgeous, and the German flavor is heavy, which is suitable for shooting landscapes; Thirdly, it has a body image stabilization function, which can reduce the investment cost of the lens; Fourth, anyone in the know knows that Pentax is the only one in the world that produces the so-called "cookie lens", which is extremely small, but the image quality is among the best in the world. Hope it helps.
