Pentax Point & Shoot

Pentax SLR


	Pentax 645D 40.0 megapixel, Pro SLR, Non-Zoom Though big and pricey, the Pentax 645D is surprisingly nimble and makes amazing pictures. We took the 645D for a few spins around town and ran it through our test lab and were amazed at the detail it captured. Released December 2010	$8797-9899 Initial Test

	Pentax K-01 16.3 megapixel, Compact System Camera, Non-Zoom Pentax goes its own way with a mirrorless camera that accepts standard K-mount lenses. That means access to a huge back catalog of quality optics without an adapter. Unfortunately, it also necessitates a body that's barely any smaller than a standard SLR. Released March 2012	$299-759 Review

	Pentax K-5 16.3 megapixel, Pro SLR, 3.00x Zoom Released October 2010	$739-1600 Full Review

	Pentax K-5 II 16.3 megapixel, Pro SLR, 3.00x Zoom Released October 2012	$989-1200 First Shots

	Pentax K-5 IIs 16.3 megapixel, Pro SLR, Non-Zoom Released October 2012	$1197-1200 First Shots

	Pentax K-30 16.3 megapixel, SLR, 7.50x Zoom Pentax takes features commonly associated with enthusiast-level DSLRs, and places them in a mid-range model that the rest of us can afford. With a great pentaprism viewfinder, a weather-sealed body, and twin control dials, the Pentax K-30 offers a lot of bang for the buck. Throw in much the same imaging configuration as the mirrorless K-01, and you're looking at a mighty interesting camera. Released July 2012	Review

	Pentax K-r 12.4 megapixel, SLR, 3.00x Zoom Released October 2010	Full Review

	Pentax MX-1 12.0 megapixel, Mid-Sized, 4.00x Zoom Released February 2013	$488 Hands-On Preview

	Pentax Optio WG-1 14.0 megapixel, Compact, 5.00x Zoom Released April 2011	$179-312 Preview

	Pentax Optio WG-1 GPS 14.0 megapixel, Compact, 5.00x Zoom Water, cold, dust, crush, and shockproof, the Pentax Optio WG-1 GPS will also record where you are when you shoot your pictures. But for all its toughness we were disappointed in the images except for those who only print 8x10 or smaller most of the time. Released April 2011	$179-312 Express Review

	Pentax Optio WG-2 16.0 megapixel, Compact, 5.00x Zoom If the Autobots had a digital camera, this would be it: Strikingly cool and playful, the Pentax WG-2 has some pretty unique features and takes pretty good pictures too. Released March 2012	$192-358 Express Review

	Pentax Optio WG-2 GPS 16.0 megapixel, Compact, 5.00x Zoom Released March 2012	$241-408 First Shots

	Pentax Q 12.4 megapixel, Compact System Camera, Non-Zoom Pentax produces a small-sensor digital camera with interchangeable lenses, a first for the digital camera industry. If your interchangeable-lens camera sits at home on the shelf because it's too big, the Pentax Q be the camera you're looking for, but is it too extreme for the rest of us? Released September 2011	$328-629 Review
