Pentax K5 – 16.3 Megapixel CMOS Sensor
ByPentax has announced the latest member of its DSLR line up, the Pentax K5. The new model is based on the Japanese manufacturer’s current flagship DSLR K7. Body design and control layout are identical but the K5 comes with a new 16.3 megapixel CMOS sensor, faster continual actuation and a rattling lyceum extremum susceptibleness of ISO 51200 (the maximal in an APS-C camera so far).
Sheathed in a auto but dry, structural embody, Pentax K5 digital SLR comes accoutred with a legion of progressive photographic tools for the soft commencement of majuscule pictures, spell delivering gear standards of ikon calibre, accumulation processing modify and operability. Developed using the highly acclaimed Pentax K7 as its base, the K5 inherits the exceptional reliability, user-friendly operation, array of advanced features and compact, lightweight body of its predecessor.
Withal, it is many resourceful and flexible in photographic expression. Combine a new high-speed, low-noise CMOS soul device with the high-performance Number II picturing engine, it produces super-high-resolution, rich-gradation digital images with about 16.28 effective megapixels, even when shooting in the continuous shooting mode at a maximum speed of approximately seven images per second.
Pentax K5 also offers an extra-wide sensitivity range between ISO 80 and ISO 51200 (when expanded via a custom function) and full HD-proportion movie recording at 1920 x 1080 pixels to expand the boundaries of high-quality visual presentation. Adding other improvements and refinements–such as a faster autofocusing speed, an upgraded HDR (High Dynamic Range) function now usable in handheld shooting, and better operability through an overall review of the design and shape of all components. The K-5 is designed to be more functional and maneuverable in every detail, and in its response to the demands of the photographer
The Pentax K5 incorporates a newly designed CMOS image sensor with a wide image-sensitive area measuring 23.7mm by 15.7mm. It assures high-speed icon data readout much faster than that of old sensors. By connective this someone sensor–equivalent in execution and information processing speed to the someone sensor merged in the Pentax 645D medium-format digital camera–with the tested Ground (Pentax Genuine Someone Engine) II tomography engine, the K5 produces super-high-resolution, rich-gradation digital images with 16.28 effective megapixels, while suppressing annoying digital noise to a minimum.
