Product details

Reliability is one of the most important requirements for a camera. It has to work when it's needed. And this often under conditions where many cameras stay better in their pockets.
The Pentax K-70 delivers vivid and high-resolution images, even under the most demanding shooting conditions.
Whether under a blue sky, in soft rain or under a dark starry sky - the Pentax K-70 captures the beauty of nature in great and unique photos.

The Pentax K-70's ultra-small housing has 100 seals and is therefore optimally protected from moisture and dust. This camera can be used in the everyday urban jungle as well as in tropical areas, on a beach holiday, on a safari or on a Greenland expedition.
In combination with the lenses of the AW or WR series, this provides optimum protection against environmental influences.

A special challenge for a camera is the working environment, especially in cold temperatures. The Pentax K-70 is designed to work reliably in cold environments down to -10°C. The mechanics, the electronics and a stable battery voltage can be relied on even in icy conditions.

The newly designed handle offers a secure and firm hold - even when wearing gloves.

The Pentax K-70 has been designed with attention to detail to ensure optimum comfort and maximum functionality. The four buttons on the four-way controller and the setting wheels are designed so that they can be operated safely even when wearing gloves.

    Die K-70 von Pentax richtet sich eher an Einsteiger. Im Gegensatz zu den anderen beiden Modellen hat sie beispielsweise noch einen integrierten Blitz und verschiedene Motivprogramme wie Kerzenlicht oder Haustiere. Der Sensor löst mit 24 Megapixeln auf, und wie von Pentax gewohnt ist auch die K-70 dank vieler Dichtungen gegen Wind und Wetter geschützt.

    Gute kleine, wetterfeste Spiegelreflexkamera. Rundum gut, sehr guter Monitor zum Klappen und Schwenken, schnelle Kamera, grundlegende Handgriffe funktionieren einfach.
