Pentax K-5 II DSLR Camera Body, Black {16.3MP}

Pentax K-5 II Digital SLR Camera
The Pentax K-5 II is a weather resistant K-mount DLSR with a sensor shifting Shake Reduction system coupled to it's high quality APS-C sized CMOS.  Since the K-5 II uses K-Mount lenses it provides easy access to a huge variety of unique and vintage optics, and the in body Image Stabilization helps preserve sharpness with any lens.

The Pentax K-5 II delivers high-resolution, low-noise, true to life image reproduction with the CMOS sensor coupled with the Prime II Imaging Processor.  The K-5 II has a wide sensitivity range up to ISO 12,800 (expandable to 51,200) and has stunning noise management.  The K-5 II makes it easy to line up shots with it's bright pentaprism, new 11 point SAFOX X phase detection AF system, live view shooting, and three different grid patterns that assist image composition.  When you press the shutter release the K-5 II doesn't disappoint with it's 16.3-megapixel CMOS sensor, 7fps continuous shooting, Full HD recording at 25fps, and great options for adding visual effects during shooting.  A durable magnesium alloy body and 77 seals protect the K-5 II's components while they render remarkable images. 

The K5 II replaces the Pentax K-5 without much need to change it's well liked design and feature set the K-5 II's improvements are limited to AF processor and LCD monitor updates.  Like many digital cameras, the sensors on the K-5 II incorporates an AA (Anti-Aliasing) optical low pass filter to prevent moire and occasional image artifacts.  When Pentax introduced the K-5II in 2012 they simultaneously released the K-5 IIS, a version without an AA filter.  The K-5 IIS can capture more fine detail but with increased risk of digital artifacts in

The K-5 II is one of the best enthusiast and advanced amateur cameras around, with a good selection of Pentax SMC/Asahi glass, it's a real delight to use.
