Pentax K-70 DSLR Camera with 18-135mm Lens (Silver)

Pentax is a name known and trusted in photography, from film to modern DSLR and Mirrorless technology. Never let the extreme conditions stop you with the Pentax K-70. This compact, lightweight, DSLR features the PRIME MII engine with a newly designed Accelerator Unit and a 24.24 megapixel AA-filter-less APS-C CMOS sensor for high definition images. Enjoy faster readout with 6 frames per second shooting of 14-bit RAW image data. Minimize camera shake with in-body SR (shake reduction) to assure sharp, blur-free images, even in demanding situations.

24.24 Effective Megapixels with ISO 102400

The K-70 features a state-of-the-art 24.24 effective megapixel AA Filter-less APS-C sized CMOS sensor for outstanding image quality. By coupling a newly developed accelerator unit with the high-speed PRIME MII imaging engine, the K-70 effectively minimizes noise at all sensitivity levels, and captures richly gradated, finely detailed images even in super-high-sensitivity shooting at a top sensitivity of ISO 102400.

Hybrid AF System for Live View Shooting

The K-70 employs Pentax’s first Hybrid AF system during Live View autofocus operation. By positioning a contrast-detection AF sensor with superior focusing accuracy and a phase-matching AF sensor on the image sensor’s surface, this innovative hybrid system optimizes the benefits of both AF systems to assure high-speed, pinpoint AF focusing on the subject.

Dustproof, Weather-Resistant Body

The K-70 boasts a fully weather and cold proof design to resist water, fog, snow, sand and dust, for top performance in extreme field conditions. It has been designed for active outdoor shooting through a complete design review of the mode dial and control buttons as well as new grip design that provides a firm hold of the camera body even with a gloved hand.

High-Precision AF System with SAFOX X Module

The high-precision SAFOX X AF sensor module assures responsive, dependable autofocus operation. With its 11 sensors including nine cross-type sensors in the middle, this AF module assures pinpoint focus on the subject at a minimum brightness level as low as -3 EV.

Pentax-Original Shake-Reduction System

The K-70’s in-body shake reduction (SR) mechanism effectively compensates for camera shake up to 4.5EV steps regardless of the lens type mounted. The Pixel Shift Resolution System captures 4 images of the same scene by shifting the image sensor by a single pixel for each image, and then synthesizes them into a single composite image. The result is exceptional detail and true-to-life color accurate images.

Optical Viewfinder with Nearly 100-Percent Field of View

The K-70 incorporates a glass prism finder featuring the same optics and coatings as those used in higher-level models. With a nearly 100-percent field of view and a magnification of approximately 0.95 times, it provides a wide, bright image field for easy focusing and framing.

Pentax SMC DA 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 ED AL (IF) DC WR Lens

The included zoom lens features the same weather-resistant construction as the camera body so that you can comfortably take this lens with you and know it's going to make it home again. There is a special coating to help repel dust, water, and grease on the front element. Its construction incorporates aspherical lens elements to help minimize spherical aberrations throughout the zoom range and also contribute to producing overall sharper, clearer imagery.
