If I want to participate in a summer celebration, I have prepared everything with me to record every moment of laughter. Under the wait of big and small buckets, water guns, and foam, I have to bring a drip-proof and dust-proof single-lens camera.PENTAX K3The powerful specifications have won my favor. When it was launched at the end of 2013, it could be the highest specification among the APS-C models, including 2400 million pixels without low-pass filter, support for dual card, wireless WiFi card, Full HD video and high-speed continuous shooting, etc.Follow us to see PEXTAX K3 specifications, unpacking and real shots!

◎ PENTAX K3 single-lens camera initial use experience
This one is built with an aluminum alloy shell and 91 sealed processors, which has already attracted the attention of monocular users. PENTAX K3 also features anti-drip and dust-proof and minus 10 degrees cold protection, and has a 20 shutter life to improve the weather resistance of the camera. , Durability. In recent years, major camera manufacturers have developed new low-pass filter processing in order to solve the moiré. This camera also uses a low-pass filter to suppress the moiré.For me, I feel that the PENTAX body has a solid workmanship during use. Under high-speed shooting, it is often possible to quickly capture the moment when the water droplets condense at high speed during the Songkran Festival, and get the picture I want without worrying about the accompanying water column. The camera is broken, so I feel at ease to use it.
※ The appearance of PENTAX K3 single-lens camera
▲ When I got the camera, compared with my own Nikon D610, this one is very thick! (I highly recommend this)
▲ I think the operating interface is similar in all major factories, and they all start to have Live View and 3-inch screens for easy shooting.
▲ The connection port on the left is tightly sealed. After shooting the Water Festival, go back to the hotel to clean up the camera body.
▲ PENTAX K3 also has hot shoes and internal flashing.
▲ This time it is equipped with 18-135 weather-resistant travel mirror. Later, I will look at the performance of this lens!
▲ The prominent notch for handshake makes it very stable when holding and shooting.
▲ Looking closely, every part of PENTAX K3 is tightly connected. I was really relieved when I was shooting that day.
▲ How does PENTAX K3 perform?Let's take a look at the real photos!
◎ The PENTAX K3 single-lens camera is suitable for non-single-lens people who are novice users, and take it up and down the sea to record what they have seen during their travels.
I believe that as long as major camera manufacturers launch single-lens cameras, many 3C websites, editors and experts will conduct a series of evaluations, all with very professional evaluation data and specification analysis, and I like to compare ordinary consumers or even girls who are not familiar with monoculars. We are shooting in a fully automatic way. The so-called fully automatic refers to the aperture priority, the fine-tuning of the exposure value & EV value, etc., and the occasional adjustment of the white balance. I hope that everyone can see the performance of this camera without making any adjustments. Hair color, if you like it, just buy it and take it home slowly and explore it slowly.
Why would I recommend PENTAX K3 to non-beginners?Mainly because the camera has powerful functional specifications, it is a pity to simply use fully automatic shooting. It is very suitable for people who are already familiar with monocular shooting. I feel that the shooting subject is still a dynamic theme. It is no problem to take it with you up to the mountain and the sea to shoot; static Or the night scene performance is flat, it is recommended to choose another factory to get better picture quality and color performance.Finally, compared to the Nikon D7100 and Canon 70D APS-C models, I have taken three small conclusions. Those who prefer extreme geographical or water travel can choose PENTAX K3. Those who pursue scenic travel and demand color performance can consider it. Nikon D7100, and Canon 70D is very suitable for people who use cultural travel supplemented by street scene records.
▲ This is a shot we took in a Japanese restaurant in Bangkok. Next, let's take a look at the color of this camera.
▲ Basically, I took the photos straight from Jpeg, but I feel that the white balance is a bit inaccurate, which is generally acceptable.
▲ PENTAX K3 shoots water droplets on condensation, I love it very much.
▲ Do not take a camera without drip-proof and dust-proof under the situation of sprinkling water on such a high platform everywhere. ^^b
▲ As in the previous camera review, we directly use this to test the camera's waterproof level. >////
▲ The shooting can still be completed under weak light sources or shooting at night.
