  • Ricoh Pentax Imaging нужно было расшевелить свою старшую линейку, слегка забуксовавшую на моделях K-5 и K-5 II — и компания это сделала. Модель K-3 получила усовершенствования по всем фронтам, получив новый сенсор, процессор, системы автофокуса и экспозам...

  • Pentax K-3 är en hygglig och välfungerande, robust kamera. Bildkvaliteten är fin, dock utan att ligga riktigt på samma nivå som klassens bästa....

  • Abstract:  När man läser tester av Pentax kameror så är det inte alls ovanligt att de beskrivs som en liten tillverkare som satsar på vädertätat och lite speciella funktioner. Det är helt korrekt. Men i och med den nya Pentax K-3 har de mycket mer att erbjuda än bar...

  • Den mest välbyggda kameran du kan tänka dig i klassen, som även har en bildkvalitet och skärpa som kan mäta sig med dyrare kameror. Felfria prestanda för pengarna
  • Autofokuseringen är inte den snabbaste och menygrafiken känns föråldrad

  • Konkurrentene skal ikke føle seg for trygge. For Pentax har laget et kamera for viderekomne, som vi ikke har sett maken til
  • Autofokusen er ikke blant de raskeste, og menygrafikken virker utdatert

  • Pentax K-3 er et solid og godt kamera, fullstappet med funksjonalitet. På en del områder har det egenskaper som vi vanligvis forventer å måtte betale mer for, slik som robustheten og værsikringen. Ytelsen og hastigheten på for eksempel serieopptak er også...

  • Det mest solide kamera, man kan tænke sig i denne klasse, leverer også billedkvalitet og skarphed på højde med dyrere kameraer. Upåklagelig ydelse for pengene
  • Autofokussen er ikke blandt de hurtigste, og menugrafikken virker forældet

  • niskie szumy na zdjęciach RAW w szerokim zakresie czułości, funkcjonalne i bardzo rozbudowane menu, gniazda mikrofonu, słuchawek i HDMI, solidny i uszczelniony korpus, duża liczba optymalnie rozmieszczonych przycisków, podwójny slot kart SD/SDHC/SDXC
  • niezbyt dobrze działający balans bieli, wymuszone odszumianie JPEGów począwszy od ISO 800, nagrywanie tylko dźwięku monofonicznego podczas rejestracji klipów, redukcja sygnału na poziomie prądu ciemnego, mora widoczna okazjonalnie na zdjęciach i filma
  • Budowa, jakość wykonania i funkcjonalnośćK-3 jest nieco większy i cięższy od swojego poprzednika. Zmiany nie są jednak wyraźnie odczuwalne, nawet przy bezpośrednim porównaniu obydwu aparatów. Użycie lekkich stopów magnezu i stali nierdzewnej do budowy kor...
