Thanks to the Pentax K-30 Digital SLR Camera, for the first time in a long time location doesn't matter. Whether it's a sandy day at the beach or a trek into the wet rainforests of Belize, the Pentax K30 Digital Camera is the ideal DSLR camera to capture your memories regardless of your location or the elements you face. Its weather sealed body and intuitive ergonomics give you the flexibility and comfortability to shoot what you want, when you want and where you want. The PRIME M image processing engine is optimized for HD video capture, smooth live view, low chromatic noise, and low energy consumption. Advanced SAFOX IXi+ autofocus engine, with AF assist lamp and light source detection sensor, features improved optical components, including a diffraction lens, for responsive autofocus in any lighting. A high performance 16 megapixel APS-C CMOS image sensor strikes the perfect balance between resolution and image quality. Low profile glass pentaprism viewfinder, with interchangeable focusing screens, achieves a 100% optical field of view for framing accuracy in a highly compact form factor. PENTAX sensor-shift Shake and Dust Reduction technology ensures sharp, image stabilized, auto-leveled, and dust-free imaging with any mounted lens. With all of these features and more, it's hard to pass up the Pentax K 30 Digital Camera.![]()
