Pentax K-5 16.3 MP Digital SLR (Body Only)

The Pentax K-5 is a mid-range DSLR built for photographers who demand durability without sacrificing image quality. Its 16.3-megapixel CMOS sensor delivers detailed, low-noise images across an ISO range of 80 to 12800, making it capable in both bright daylight and challenging low-light environments. The 11-point SAFOX IX+ autofocus system, enhanced with a dedicated AF assist lamp and light wavelength sensor, provides reliable subject tracking and focus accuracy. At 6 to 7 frames per second in continuous shooting mode, the K-5 keeps pace with fast-moving subjects, whether capturing wildlife, sports, or street photography.

What sets the K-5 apart in its class is the fully weather-sealed and coldproof magnesium alloy body, allowing photographers to shoot confidently in rain, snow, and dust when using compatible weather-resistant Pentax lenses. The large 3-inch rear LCD with 921,000 dots of resolution provides a sharp, detailed view for composing shots and reviewing images in the field. Video capability is included with 1080p recording at 25fps, with audio input via the built-in microphone or an external stereo mic through the 3.5mm jack. As a body-only unit compatible with the full range of Pentax K-mount lenses, the K-5 offers a versatile foundation for building or expanding a Pentax system.
