Product Description
Pentax doesn’t have the brand recognition of Canon or Nikon, but its DSLRs are competitive pretty much across the board. In addition to the weather sealing that Pentax is known for (you’ll have to spend considerably more to get weather sealing from other companies) the K-70 is a very solid mid-range digital SLR. You get in-body image stabilization, which the Canon T6i and Nikon D5500 both lack, along with impressive low light performance and customizable twin dials that allow for easy manual operation.
What are the downsides of the K-70? First and foremost, the lens offerings from Pentax are much more limited that Canon or Nikon. The weather sealing also adds weight to the camera making it relatively heavy, and you don’t get touchscreen functionality (the T6i and D5500 both have touchscreens). All in all, we think it’s a very close call between the leading mid-range cameras and Pentax is right in the mix. For an even cheaper weather-sealed DSLR, see the Pentax KS-2.
