Why The Pentax K5 DSLR Offers More Processing Ability

The Pentax K5 Digital Single Lens Reflex camera aptly illustrates the response of one company to the intensely competitive market for digital cameras. The ability to do more with less has been the trend with technology for decades. The most important feature of the K5 is that it is suitable for practically any experience level. The user manuals are easy to follow, and you will be taking basic photos very quickly. What you can expect to find in the Pentax K5 are powerful improvements to make your experience much easier.

Let's take a quick look at the K5's auto-focus system because it does represent some changes you will want to know about. The higher performance here concerns speed and processing ability. The K5 uses sensors and coordinate processing to have the level of auto-focus specs seen in this camera. A system such as auto-focus, as used in the K5, is the result of impressive engineering and software development. Flexibility and shooting photos you perhaps never did before is the result. Sometimes there are very challenging lighting conditions, low light, and for that you can just use the spot beam on the K5.

The K5, like all the rest, has a video feature so you can take your videos alongside of your photos. It is just one of those feature areas where manufacturers do not want to drop the ball. We feel the video in the K5 is superior to what you will find in many other digital cameras. You will find the resolution to be a very adequate 1920 x 1080 pixels which is also expressed in terms of 25 frame per second.

Naturally, all must be in high definition, and the K5 offers that for viewing the videos you have taken. The K5 offers a lot for image customizing work, but what is available for videos is much less. One possible work-around for that is by making use of digital filtering.

Perhaps we are all used to our cell phones with their relatively short battery charges which are annoying. So the K5 will be a real treat because it is just the opposite. On a full battery charge, you can take 1100 images which should be enough for most people. Overall control is attained through the Hyper Control System, and with it you will be able to have complete command and control. There are lenses you can purchase separately that will offer enhanced control to eliminate distortion automatically. Chromatic aberration control is similarly available with separate lenses, as well. The Pentax K5 DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) camera does have more refined improvements as opposed to major overhauls in certain areas. Just about all digital SLR's have video, and they usually do not have loaded features. There is no internal microphone with the K5, either, although external hook-up is available. But overall, keep in mind this is not intended to be a video camera, however it will produce good quality videos sufficient for most users. There are far more very positive points with the K5 than negatives.
