Entry-level SLR: Pentax introduces the successor of Kx
End of the megapixel race: Pentax now improves the specification of its input range. But the video only.
If lack of Pentax SLR and pro death penalty in a reflex experts, however, the brand is one of the best entry level SLR: the Kx (Read the test of Pentax Kx). An age that sees today Kx get his points: the Kr
Same number of pixels
12.4 Mpix meter, Pentax has decided not to push the megapixel and so much better. Few people take shots beyond the A3, this definition is largely sufficient for the general public. However the sensor is new generation device and pushes now ISO 25600.
The display offers a more upscale with 921,000 points (against 230,000 previously). The burst was also revised up from 4.5 fps on the Kx 6 fps on Kr! The buffer provides 40 fps continuous JPEG (11 RAW): learn what the picture sports / action without having to invest in a housing too expensive.
Creative Style
All devices that are now good images, s'attellent manufacturers now incorporate creative ways. Kr This is not left with fisheye modes (optical highly distorting), HDR (combination of several exhibitions), cross-development (strange colors), retro, etc.. The key will be fun to housing since the Kr will be initially available in red, black and white (there are over 100 colors of Kx in Japan!).
Minimum Video
Pentax is not a video specialist and it shows: the only HD mode available is a very classic 720p (1280 x 720 pixels) at 25 fps All in an AVI file compressed Mjpeg. If the installation requires less performance from the PC, the files should be very large.
A data sheet added mechanical stabilization of the sensor, Live View with autofocus and especially the ability to use AA batteries with an optional adapter. Useful for travelers to the extreme.
The KX will be available from October to 890 USD with its optical core 18-55 mm.
