Pentax KP Silver body only
The ultra-compact PENTAX KP is loaded with features and controls that facilitate capturing outstanding images, even in the most demanding conditions. Its sleek, weather-resistant design houses a powerful new-generation 24.3 MP APS-C AA filter-less CMOS sensor and high-performance imaging engine that offer outstanding image quality and super-high-sensitivity night scene photography capabilities. The PENTAX KP incorporates advanced technologies and ease-of-use features, including the PENTAX-original SRII 5-Axis Shake Reduction System and Pixel Shift Resolution. It features an electronic shutter option in live-view to enable high-speed shooting up to 1/24000-second, which greatly broadens shooting capabilities when using large aperture lenses to achieve a shallow depth of field on a bright sunny day. For ultimate versatility, the PENTAX KP offers an assortment of customization features, including a grip replacement system that lets photographers choose their preference of grip based on shooting style or lens choice.
