The K-50 only differs from the top-level Pentax bodies by the absence of a few control buttons on the body. With the Info quick menu that's hardly a problem now. It has weather seals, two control dials, pentaPrism viewfinder and the well-liked 16Mpixel sensor. More modern bodies have removed the AA filter but a pinch of sharpening in any software makes that an issue only for the pixel-obsessed. If anything is faulted with Pentax items it's their charger, which requires a four-foot cord to work. This camera was lacking that, so for $18 I now have a generic charger that needs no cord (plus a 12v adapter!) and a spare battery. This was an incredible deal on a great camera, and I'm really glad I could pick it up. And oh my it's red! :^)

This camera was purchased to replace the identical model that was broken from a fall. It was listed as new/unused and received as such, it did have minimal shutter actuations. The camera is easy to use compared to other digitals and takes excellent photos. It also fits my hands very well and is easy to hold.

Poor Battery (only 200 shots with half flash) and weight are two key issues against this DSLR but weather resistant seal, image quality and strong build are in favor. Built in Image Stabilization would help beginners to shoot some good pictures.

We had an older one just like it but which had fallen on pavement and damaged. Already having all the accessories for THAT particular model camera along with the working knowledge made it a " BEST BUY" In retrospect though all the info with the camera was in Japanese and impossible to read. Thank You.

Camera arrived on time and was packaged flawlessly. The camera performs well and I love the 55-300 mm f/4 - 5.8 auto lens. Good deal.
