One of the most important aspects of a camera is versatility. If your favorite camera can't stand up to inclement weather conditions, it may leave you in a bad position during an outdoor shoot. The Pentax K-30 16 MP DSLR Camera with 18-55mm lens offers cold-proof design down to 14 degrees F, and water-resistant sealing to ensure that you get high-quality pictures in any weather condition.
Speedy 16 MP CMOS Sensor
The Pentax K-30 takes full advantage of the rapid data readout of its 16 MP CMOS sensor by pairing it with their powerful PRIME M image processing engine. This allows you to get beautifully detailed, high-resolution images and full 1080p HD video quickly without sacrificing quality. The high-speed shooting function allows up to 6 frames per second to be captured, so you're never going to miss a shot.
An Amazingly Strong DSLR Feature Set
The Pentax K-30 outshines other DSLR cameras in its price range by adding lots of extras that photographers love. The Pentax Shake Reduction mechanism keeps your images and video sharp and stable during the action. The Auto Picture and Scene modes add a degree of accessibility for new and advanced photographers alike, allowing for greater customization or the flexibility of just focusing on your shot and letting the camera do most of the work.
Expertly Crafted 18-55mm Lens
You can count on the craftsmanship of the 18-55mm lens to provide optimal image quality. The lens is perfectly balanced for the camera and provides exceptional sharpness, composition, and contrast. Additionally, the autofocus feature expertly minimizes chromatic aberration to keep your colors accurate. Advanced users and fans of the Pentax brand have plenty of reason to get excited about the camera's compatibility with lenses for previous Pentax SLR and DSLR models.
Compared to similar models in its price range, the Pentax K-30 comes out on top for its vast range of options and customizability. Stacking these features on top of the camera's sharp, beautiful image quality puts it head and shoulders above the competition.
