Pentax K 5 Digital SLR Camera Body Only

The Pentax K 5 features impressive assets such as 16.3 megapixel resolution, weatherproof construction, up to ISO 51,200 sensitivity and Full HD video recording.16.3 Megapixel CMOS SensorThe ultra high resolution sensor on the Pentax K 5 offers 16.3 megapixel quality for crystal clear image quality even from huge enlargements. Analogue to digital conversion takes place within the sensor itself meaning the digital information is captured before interference enters the system. The net result is lower image noise levels.Shake ReductionAs Pentax Shake Reduction is camera based CMOS Shift it works with any lens fitted to the camera, including old non AF Pentax lenses, giving up to 4 exposure stops of stabilisation. Minute angle, horizon and levelling adjustments can be made as the sensor is free to move.PRIME II EngineThe Pentax Real Time Image Engine II processor has been developed to deliver richer colour rendition along with faster data processing and movie transmission speed. As the heart of the camera it allows advanced features to be used while still demanding less battery power.High Speed ShootingThe high speed shutter used on the Pentax K 5 gives 7 frames per second continuous shooting speed for up to 22 consecutive JPEG images. ISO sensitivity is amazing at 100 12,800 which is extendable to 80 51,200!Tough and WeatherproofThe Pentax K 5 has been designed for regular outdoor use – its tough metallic alloy body has 77 independent seals. These protect it from weather and dust, plus it is designed to operate down to temperatures as low as 10°C. The standard 18 55mm lens is also weatherproof as is the optional D BG4 grip.Full HD MoviesThe Pentax K 5 records movies in Full 1080 HD quality in 169 widescreen at 25 framessec with the benefits of an SLR’s creative controls.11 Point AutofocusThe SAFOX IX autofocus system from Pentax has an 11 point user selectable array for fast and accurate focusing.
