The Pentax K-3 DSLR Camera with 50mm Lens Kit from B&H combines the versatile DSLR along with an smc PENTAX DA 50mm f/1.8 prime lens. The components of this kit provide the basic essentials for photographing in a wide variety of shooting situations.
The K-3 features a 23.35MP APS-C CMOS sensor and PRIME III image processor to produce high-resolution still imagery and full HD 1080i/p video with low-light sensitivity to ISO 51200. Full-resolution continuous shooting is supported up to 8.3 fps for 22 consecutive RAW frames, with a top shutter speed of 1/8000 sec., and the SAFOX11 autofocus system utilizes 27 focus points, with 25 cross-type points, to maintain sharp focus in a quick and accurate manner. Benefitting the image quality is a selectable anti-aliasing filter effect, which can be turned on or off to either garner the highest resolution and sharpness possible or provide enhanced protection against moiré. Additionally, in-camera Shake Reduction image stabilization renders any K-mount lens stabilized and helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake when working with greater shutter speeds or longer focal lengths. The cold, weather, and dust-sealed body design incorporates a 0.95x magnification pentaprism viewfinder, 3.2" 1,037k-dot LCD monitor, and dual SD memory card slots.
Included with the body is the smc PENTAX DA 50mm f/1.8 lens, which provides a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 76.5mm to produce a short telephoto-length perspective. The fast maximum aperture benefits working with shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques while the seven rounded aperture blades help to render an aesthetic out-of-focus quality. An SP (Super Protect) coating has also been applied to repel dust, water, and other elements from the surface of the lens.
