Pentax K-30: The Weather-Resistant, Entry-Level DSLR For Adventure Addicts

Camera makers have been cramming professional quality imaging into a budget (sub-$1000) packages for years. One of the main disadvantages of these cameras is that they’re not as resilient as their $US3000 counterparts. The Pentax K-30 aims to change that.

Pentax K-01 Resembles A Tonka Truck, We Like That

Gizmodo AU

We’ve known about Pentax’s K-01 Marc Newson-designed K-01 since February, but the mirrorless camera got its official Australian launch at Sydney Fashion Week on Friday. Unlike Gizmodo UK, we quite like the look of it. Also: apparently it’s easier to design a camera than an airline.

It was just yesterday that leaked shots of the Pentax K-01 turned up, and now here’s the full monty. It’s not what you might call a head-turner, but it’s a pretty impressive addition to mirrorless cameras.

Point and shoots are generally seen as the wimpy hacks of the camera world, when compared to modern DSLRs and fancy new Micro Four Thirds cameras. But their specs — like the 18x optical zoom on the Pentax Optio RZ18 — are getting pretty impressive. It’s like when Carrot Top grew mega-muscles and could all-of-a-sudden kick your arse.

Pentax Continues War Against Eyes With Rainbow Supernova DSLR

Some shocking news! Not only does dinosaur retailer Tower Records still exist (in Japan), they’re responsible for this so-ugly-I-kind-of-like-it limited edition K-r DSLR. It looks like it was submerged in the boiling blood of the 1990s, but it’s kinda charming!

A Pentax Camera Beautifully Exploded

Photographer Todd McLellan likes taking things apart and revealing the dizzying bits that comprise our gear. I’d have never guessed so many tiny pieces could be stripped away from the thing – and when arranged so precisely, they’re quite gorgeous.

And You Thought Pentax Cameras Couldn’t Get Any Worse

There’s a reason I named this “pentaxvomitcamera.jpg” when saving it; I doubt I’m the only one who felt the tickle of breakfast at the back of their throat. Pentax’s K-r Bonnie Pink makes the others seem positively charming. [Pentax via CrunchGear]

Pentax Obviously Has No Respect For Our Eyes

It brings me no pleasure to tell you that Pentax has done it again. Just when you thought they’d done enough harm to our eyes already, they’ve gone and painted their K-r in Kore Ja Nai robot colours.
