Rugged, sleek and full-featured all come to mind when reviewing the exciting new Pentax K-70 DSLR camera. The 24.24MP APS-C CMOS sensor is capable of exceptional low-light performance, while the fact that it lacks an anti-aliasing filter means image sharpness is top-notch. Action-ready, the K-70 can capture stills at a continuous rate of 6 frames per second. Videos are recorded in beautiful Full HD resolution and built-in sensor shift shake reduction result in a consistently blur-free shooting experience.

A high-performance, all weather body from Pentax

The Pentax K-70 is the latest DSLR offering from Pentax and it's well-rounded feature set and rugged Weather-resistant construction are sure to please existing k-mount users, as well as winning over some new fans. Starting with the image-making features, the K-70 is sure to produce stunning results, using a 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor minus an anti-aliasing filter for sharp pictures that are free from noise throughout the wide ISO range of 100-204800. Pentax’s PRIME MII image processor helps with the low-light performance as well as allowing for a fast 6 frames per second continuous shooting drive. Purely on its picture taking prowess the K-70 is set to impress.

With in-body sensor shift shake reduction the K-70 is afforded 4.5 stop stabilisation, no matter what lens is mounted on the body. This guarantees blur-free pictures in trickier situations, as well as assuring you will get the best out of your lenses, no matter how expensive or fancy they are. Related to this sensor-shift shake reduction is the included Pixel shift resolution system, which allows for the capture of 4 separate renderings of the same scene with a slight shift of the sensor. The result is a single composite image with an incredible amount of detail and accuracy, far exceeding what a single capture could produce.

K-70 is a excellent camera, much underrated
Pentax oldtimer, Adelaide, 21/06/2018

Bought this as a replacement for my K200D. Images are super crisp just from the camera, RAW is even better. I have set the internals setting to Natural for colour and no additional sharpening.
Used indoors up to ISO 6400 for non flash photos.
Used with my kit 18-55mm for astrophotography (don't have anything wider), Expected issues but none present 15s at ISO 6400 and f4 still gives good sharp photos, no sharpening required.
Use the DA 35mm as my normal walk around, great on the K200 much better on the K-70. Like lifting a veil off the image, I didn't expect that much of an improvement.

Still have a lot to learn about the camera, but I can ditch ND filters and use the multi-exposure averaging function.
Also Pixel shift still to try out.

And I can still use all my old Pentax K film lenses.
This was money well spent, looking forward to many more happy Pentax years

So far, so good
Warren Charlton, 25/01/2017

I haven't used it to its full capability yet but based on my K30, it should be good. That camera had a known fault in it, but one learnt how to work around it - an accidental drop at night finished it off. I liked that it could be used in adverse weather (down to -25 degrees C). I hope the K70 is as good or better.
