PENTAX K-r

16 June, 2011 Preorders already left: 0

Image source: http://www.imaging-resource.com

The sales start: october 2010 Estimated price: $800 - 1000

Overview:

The K-r includes a couple of first for Pentax's digital SLR lineup, as well as a number of important features that set it above the K-x, alongside which it will continue to be sold for the time being. Perhaps the most noteworthy upgrade in the Pentax K-r digital camera is its viewfinder focus point display, a feature whose conspicuous absence we questioned in our K-x review. The Pentax K-r also incorporates a larger, higher-resolution LCD display like that previously seen in the K-7.
