This is my second DSLR, upgraded from a Nikon D50. Chose it over the Nikon and Canons based on tech reviews and am having no regrets. Just recently received the camera from costco and am amazed with the photo quality and the apparent quality of the unit itself. Huge upgrade over what I was using.

I have had the k-50 -years, and was pleased with it. the image quality is great, dynamic range good, video adequate, lenses good (I have the 15-55 wr and the 55-300) overall I was satisfied. But in November of 2017 my wife was trying to take a picture of me when the camera images went dark.

John Riley reviews the new weather sealed Pentax K-50 Digital SLR to see how it performs.

Excellent image quality; Dustproof and weather resistant; Fast operation including upgraded AF; Glass pentaprism viewfinder; In body shake reduction; Backwards compatibility with thousands of lenses; Wide ISO range; Excellent ergonomics; Excellent build quality; AA Battery option; 120 colour options

No QuickShift on DAL Lenses; Loud focus on DAL lens

The Pentax K-30 was our favourite SLR of 2012. Its large optical viewfinder, dual command dials, weather-sealed body and 6fps burst mode are features that Canon and Nikon charge considerably more than £600 for. Our only serious reservation was that its angular, sporty design wasn't easy on the eye.

First "proper" digital camera I have had to replace my 35mm SLR. Can still use all my old filters, lenses etc and the live view means I can see if they are correctly exposed etc. So very pleased

I spent around 2 weeks trawling every review that I could find on the internet, comparing the Pentax K50 along with a Canon 700D and the Nikon d5300. It was such a struggle to make the final choice, all get excellent reviews, but the K50 won hands down.

Durable; Great Features; Great Picture Quality; Simple Controls

We are not camera experts by any measure but we decided we wanted to get a DSLR as we weren't happy with the quality of our point-and-shoot cameras. We were considering the Rebel but once we got an idea of how big the Rebel was we decided to shop around... we're very glad we did!

It feels so great to have a SLR in my hands again, but it also feels great to have a Pentax back in my hands, too. AF is fast and accurate, ISO noise is low, the optical viewfinder is fantastic, and ergonomics is great.

Easy To Use; Fast / Accurate Auto-Focus; Fast Shutter Speed; Good Image Quality; Good Image Stabilization; High ISO Performance; Large Clear LCD

A LITTLE LOUD

Фотоаппарат и два объектива в отличном состоянии, все доступные функции выполняются, качество снимков замечательное!Субъективно фотоаппарат Pentax K-50 понравился мне больше, чем, например, Nikon D3100.

Wow, this is a camera! I will spend many moons learning about all it's features. Image quality is superb. With Pentax in general, I can buy the necessary lenses without having to get rid of them if I upgrade the camera. That was my primary reason for buying a Pentax.
