The Pentax K-70 is a new mid-range 24.24-megapixel DSLR camera. Key features include a 24 megapixel APS-C sensor with an anti-aliasing simulator rather than an optical anti-aliasing filter, a vari-angle LCD screen, 11-point SAFOX X Hybrid AF system, weather-resistant construction, ISO range of...

It has some lovely pluses, the weather sealing, the tilt/twist screen is a boon for those who like low level macro shots, and it is nice and light. Oh and of course it has the same sensor as the K-3 so the image quality is fantastic!

Same sensor as the K-3, weather sealing, flip/tilt/twist screen; Size

only 11 AF points, cheaper shutter system which is noisier; strange shape behind the grip

Very pleased with this camera. I got it because my old K3 was not compatible with the newest Pentax 55-300 PLM lens like the K70 is. I am happy with how nice the JPEGs are, low light performance, good low light autofocus, best color balance I have seen on a Pentax and I have had several.

I bought the K-70 after first buying the Pentax DSLR K-S2 the K-70 is in my opinion at least twice as good. The K-70 is based on the older model and has the weatherproofing and a slightly better stabilisation system plus new pixel-shift.

I got this camera as part of an insurance bundle due to a major home theft last year. As it was new for old, this was the closest to my beloved K-01 when it came to bodies. So, what is it like and more importantly, is it a worthy replacement to the K-01 Firstly, size.

I haven't used it to its full capability yet but based on my K30, it should be good. That camera had a known fault in it, but one learnt how to work around it - an accidental drop at night finished it off. I liked that it could be used in adverse weather (down to -25 degrees C).

I have had the Pentax K-70 for about 6 months. I bought it to replace the K-50 which I loved until it stopped working. This camera has the worst picture quality of any camera I have ever known. I am planning to go to Canon. I am done with Pentax.

After using smartphone cameras and a bridge camera (Sony H400) I decided I wanted to get a DSLR, so far my experience has been good with this camera. The weight of the camera is fine and seems balanced, but was a shock when I first held it as I wasn't quite expecting it.

The K-70 is Pentax' newest SLR camera with a 24MP APS-C sized image sensor. It is a heavy camera (body: 1.5 lbs; 2.4 lbs including the kit lens), yet is quite compact. It has a splash-proof body and can be used in inclement weather conditions.

When picturing a high end DSLR camera we don't usually see wind, dust, rain and snow, however for those shooting outdoors or even just travelling, it's flagrantly obvious how important durability is. You don't want to be carefully nursing a vulnerable piece of technology.
