Now is a good time to get a brand new Pentax K-5.

Hi Photographer friends,

Now would be a good time to buy a brand new K-5. We already know that the K-5 has been the most succesful DSLR from Pentax. We all know that the image quality surpassed any other APS-C DSLR from any company within the same price category, and that for a long time.

 

Pentax currently does not have any DSLR that is better than the K-5, K-5 II and the K-5 IIs. Is it better to wait for Pentax's future flagship camera or buy a K-5 today at a more than fair price?

 Hi Photographer friends,

Check below for the full review / report from DxOMark

Friday March 30 2012

The Pentax K01, Pentax’s first serious hybrid, turns in a great performance, arriving in second place in its category. All of the results are available here:Pentax K-01.

Overall score:

2nd place among hybrids (79), 17th place across all categories.
Development of the K-01’s sensor was based the same kind of sensor technology used in the Pentax K5 and Nikon D7000 (which share the same Sony 16Mpix sensor), making this comparison relevant: K-01 Vs K5 Vs D7000. The K-01 achieves very good scores in Portrait and in Landscape.

Portrait:

2nd place among hybrids (23.7 bits), 17th place across all categories.

To derive the Portrait score, we analyze the sensor’s capacity to furnish vivid, varied, and accurate colors under good lighting conditions (i.e., studio).

The K-01’s performance is the same as the K5’s - unsurprisingly, since they basically use the same sensor.

Landscape:

2nd place among hybrids (12.9 EV), 15th across all categories.

The K-01’s performance is below that of the K5 - but then, the K-01’s sensor has 12 bits whereas the K5 has 14 bits.

Sport (Low-Light ISO score):

1st place among hybrids (1135), 20th place across all categories.

The Sport score (alias Low-Light ISO score) lets you know how far you can go with regard to ISO without compromising image quality.

The K-01 takes first place on the hybrid camera ranking thanks to its APS-C sensor, which is larger than the majority of hybrid sensors so it captures more light. We will see below just how close its results are to those of its competitors equipped with APS-C sensors.

Hi Pentaxian friends.

For those that wondered about the K-5 versus the Nikon D-7000, here it is: DxOMark

I think we could call this a "Home run". Congratulation Pentax for having two of the top five DSLRs in the DxOMark. Of course, prior to this, Canon and Nikon owners were proud to point Pentax owners to the  DxO site for comparison, but now we hear that the DxO analysis is not accurate...right!

Thank you for reading and thank you for being Pentax believers.

Tests and reviews for the camera Pentax K-5

"The Pentax K-5 had a stellar DXOmaRk performance, based on its overall score it is currently ranked as #5 among ALL Camera sensors tested at DxoMark. That's right, it beats ALL Canon DSLRs, and it is only surpassed by the Nikon D3X/D3S, the Pentax 645D and a Phase One. Pentax usually gets the short end of the stick in technobabble, so I am sure there will be parades in the Pentax forums across the internets ;-)"
