9 best pentax macro digital cameras

Product description

Sporting an ultra-slim body with a fresh, textured design, the affordable Optio M30 features Digital Shake Reduction, Face Recognition AF and AE, and an Auto-Macro function that enables close-up photography up to two inches in Super Macro mode and less than four inches in Auto Macro mode.

High Image Quality

With a high resolution of 7.1 effective megapixels and high-performance Pentax lens, the Optio M30 realizes clear, high-quality images. The Optio M30 also features a 3x optical zoom lens with a focal range covering angles of view equivalent to those of a 38-114mm lens in 35mm format, which is ideal for a broad spectrum of subjects from landscapes, through sightseeing photographs, to portraits.

Sleek, New, Textured Design

The Optio M series compact digital camera exterior has been redesigned. Powered by an exclusive ultra-thin battery and featuring a miniaturized circuit board, the M30 body is a slim 0.7 inches (18 millimeters). A high-quality aluminum alloy texture gives the camera a sophisticated design.

Digital Shake Reduction

The Optio M30 features a Digital Shake Reduction mode to adjust the camera sensitivity to as high as ISO 3200 to match the brightness of the subject. Even in low-light conditions, this feature increases shutter speed to help reduce blurring and improves image flash image capture for subjects at a distance in dark locations.

Auto-Macro Function

The Optio M30 is equipped with a new Auto-Macro Function that enables close-up photography up to a minimal distance of 4.0 inches (10 cm). The Auto-Macro function allows the camera to determine the distance from the subject, and even while in the normal focus mode, and automatically switche the focus range to macro mode.

Face Recognition AF and AE

The Optio M30 is equipped with a Face Recognition AF and AE function that automatically detects and focuses on faces regardless of where the people appear in the photo frame. In addition, optimal exposure settings are automatically conducted so that the areas with faces are not darkened even if there is backlighting. (The Face Recognition AF and AE is available when the photography mode is "Portrait" and the camera is directed at people from the front.)

Auto Picture Mode

The Auto Picture mode lets the camera automatically determine the shooting conditions for Landscape, Portrait, Night Scene, and Program modes and choose the optimum settings for each subject. This Pentax original function makes photography a lot easier for users since it eliminates the necessity of making a number of individual settings.

High-Quality Movies with Shake Reduction Function

The Optio M30 captures smooth, high-quality movies at 30 fps (frames per second) at a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels, which is comparable to movies taken with a camcorder. This model also is equipped with a Movie Shake Reduction function, which automatically corrects camera shakes, allowing for movies to be taken more easily and without hassles. (Using the "Movie SR" function results in a narrower field of view than that during normal recording.)

Product description

The K-1’s new full frame 36.4 MP effective CMOS sensor isn’t just another full frame sensor. The K-1 is engineered to incorporate all of the performance requirements of high resolution full frame 35mm digital photography, adding PENTAX unique performance features and characteristics. An improved noise processing algorithm provides unprecedented performance in shadows or low light shooting where high ISO settings are critical for good performance. With the highest ISO in it’s class, the K-1 has achieved a staggering sensitivity range of up to ISO 204,800. This is attributable to a combination of the new large pixel, full frame sensor that has high noise resistance, and the new PRIME IV processor. Newly developed 5-axis SR II system covers the shake of yaw, pitch, roll, vertical, and horizontal motion of the camera. Shake reduction performance is improved to 5 shutter steps of compensation effect. Since SR is built-in to the K-1 body, it’s operation works with every K-mount lens. Combining both the K-1’s SR mechanism and the GPS feature, Astro Tracer easily tracks and photographs astronomical objects. By using movement of the image sensor during image exposure, the K-1 sensor generates the same level of moire-reduction effect as optical AA (anti-aliasing) filter, without the softening effect. Unlike fixed optical AA filters, this allows the user to adjust the level of the moire-reduction effect from OFF, Type1 and Type2. Bracketing of these settings is also available. For quick and easy operation in dark situations, the K-1 has new operation assist lighting placed in strategic locations on the body of the camera. The K-1 is carefully sealed in 87 different places for durable usage under harsh weather conditions. Get the shot anywhere, from any position, using the extremely nimble and flexible Cross-Tilt display. Shoot from the ground up, over the crowd, and around the corner, with extreme agility not found in other full frame offerings.

• 36.4MP AA Filter less CMOS Sensor w/ 33 AF Points; SR Shake Reduction w/ Pixel Shift Resolution System APS C Crop Mode for backward compatibility with PENTAX APS C Lenses
• GPS/Electronic Compass/Astro Tracer
• Cross tilt LCD display; Weather resistant body
• 1080/60i video; Focus peaking in video mode will assist with manual focusing; LED illuminated body points

User questions & answers

Question:	are the lenses interchangeable
Answer:	The lens are not interchangeable on this model. A great camera for the price.
Question:	What is the tripod socket made of? My last one was plastic and it broke
Answer:	The one I have is metal.
Question:	How do you access the SD card? Is it with the battery? I assume it is behind some kind of door or plastic/vinyl cover. TY
Answer:	The SD card and battery are under the slide open cover on the bOttoman of the hand grip.
Question:	What is included in the box? i.e. lens cover, usb cable etc
Answer:	Camera, lens cap, battery, charger, neck strap, and power cord/usb. Mine did not come with any SD card which is usually not added to any camera, unless a vendor has a little promo. Just as a fyi: this Pentax is pretty much a duplicate (same contracted mfg company in China) as the Kodak PIXPRO AZ522. The only difference between the two is cosmetics, menus are a bit different, but have the same features/modes. I found the AZ522 to have much better image quality with good focus. The Pentax was returned as I had great difficulty getting it to focus from mid length (300-400mm) to full length (1200mm). It was frustrating. Even at it's current discounted price, I don't recommend it. Images from my AZ522 and a few other Kodak Pixpro cams here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/125889350@N03/
Question:	What does Pentax do for those owners of leaky cameras
Answer:	I immediately took mine back to target. The man that had told me what a great camera it was, was working that day. I was able to tell him not to recommend this camera ever again. Unfortunately I can't get back the time on my honeymoon that I didn't have a camera.
Question:	Does this use the same battery as my WG-1? I bought a couple extra batteries for long trips, but my WG-1 finally died
Answer:	Not sure. You could google the specifications or go to a local store that carries them and look inside of one. Bring your battery with you.

You can charge the battery in the camera by placing the camera on a wireless charger that supports the Qi standard. (Camera must be turned off and placed with the lens facing downward.)" I actually purchased the Wasabi Power Battery (2-pack) and charger, and I'm glad I did, as with the charger that comes with the camera, you need to have the camera plugged in to use it. With the Wasabi charger, I can use the camera while the other battery charges. (It also has an adapter to charge with a cigarette lighter in your car.)
Question:	Does it have panoramic capabilities
Answer:	It has something called Digital Wide and Digital Panorama, here are the descriptions:Digital Wide mode to compose an extra-wide-angle picture (equivalent to approx. 19mm wide angle in the 35mm format) from two separate images.Digital Panorama can stitch together 2 or 3 shots to create a panoramic photograph.In the manual these are shown on pages 79 to 82.
Question:	Does the GPS show a map or chart or simply coordinates
Answer:	Sam, I only used it a short time before the water seeped in and broke the camera. But I believe it only shows the GPS coordinates.

Pentax X90 Highlights



Versatile optical 26x zoom lens to accommodate a range of subjects

With a compact, lightweight body, the Pentax X90 features a high-magnification optical 26x zoom lens offering a focal-length coverage between 26mm wide angle to 676mm super telephoto (in the 35mm format). Combined with a Macro mode to capture images of subjects less than an inch away, the X90 captures images near and far. The X90 also features an Intelligent Zoom function, which extends the zoom coverage to approximately 162.5 times (for a focal length of an 4225mm in the 35mm format) without compromising the optical performance of the zoom lens.



Dependable shake-reduction system for sharp, blur-free images

The X90 incorporates the Pentax-original CCD-shift-type SR (Shake Reduction) system to assure sharply focused, blur-free images even under demanding photographic conditions prone to camera shake, such as when using the zoom lens's super-telephoto range or when shooting a sunset or indoor scene with natural light only. By accurately detecting the amount of camera shake using a high-performance gyro sensor and shifting the CCD image sensor vertically and horizontally at high speed, the X90 offers an outstanding camera-shake compensation effect, equivalent to approximately three shutter steps.

_{** The degree of shake-reduction effect may vary, depending on the photographic conditions.}



Extra-powerful battery for extended shooting sessions

With a large-capacity lithium-ion battery, the X90's battery life has improved by 50 percent over the previous Pentax megazoom. The camera records approximately 255 images* on a full battery charge.

_{* Based on measurement conditions conforming to CIPA specifications using the exclusive D-LI106 Lithium-ion Battery.}



Electronic viewfinder with diopter adjustment

The X90 comes equipped with an electronic viewfinder with a diopter adjustment mechanism for clear views of subject and electronic indicators.



Eye-Fi wireless SD memory card connectivity

Eye-Fi SD memory cards store media and offer built-in Wi-Fi capability that accesses an assigned wireless network to effortlessly transfer photos and videos from the camera to a computer and online sharing site such as Picasaweb, Flickr, Facebook and YouTube. Equipped with an Eye-Fi Card, the Pentax X90 allows users to enable/disable the Eye-Fi Card's Wi-Fi connectivity via the camera menu and provides an on-screen card activity indicator. (Eye-fi cards sold separately.)



Movie shooting in high-definition TV image quality, with anti-shake protection

The X90 captures high-quality movie clips, equivalent in image quality to high-definition TV (1280 x 720 pixels). The camera features Movie SR (Shake Reduction) mode* to minimize camera shake during movie shooting through the use of exclusive software. As a result, the photographer enjoys high-quality, blur-free movie shooting with minimal effort. An HDMI micro terminal for audio/video signal output supports high-resolution movie viewing on a high-definition TV monitor.

_{* When the Movie SR mode is selected, the angle of view becomes narrower than normal shooting.}



Multi-mode exposure system to accommodate different applications

In addition to the advanced Programmed AE mode, which automatically selects the optimal combination of aperture and shutter speed for a given subject, the X90 offers Aperture-Priority AE, Shutter-Priority AE and Metered Manual modes.



High image quality

With 12.1 effective megapixels, a sophisticated imaging engine and a high-quality Pentax zoom lens, the X90 delivers super-clear, high-quality images with a Bright, Natural or Monotone finishing touch option.



Auto Picture mode for hands-off selection of seven different shooting modes

The X90 features the advanced Auto Picture mode, which selects the most appropriate shooting mode for a given subject or scene by detecting the subject's lighting and other conditions. This user-friendly feature selects the best mode from a choice of Landscape, Portrait, Night Scene, Night Scene Portrait, Flower, Sport or Standard modes and features an Auto Macro mode, which automatically switches the camera's focus range to macro in close-range applications.



Face Detection AF & AE function

Feauring an upgraded Face Detection AF & AE function, the X90 automatically detects up to 32 faces in the image field in a mere 0.03 seconds and captures each with precision, even when the faces are tilted or turned sideways. In addition, the X90 offers other user-friendly functions designed to produce beautiful portraits with ease: the Smile Capture function, which automatically releases the shutter the instant it detects the subject's smile; and the Blinking Detection function, which warns the photographer when the subject's eyes close at the time of shutter release.



High-sensitivity anti-shake mode to minimize camera/subject shake

The X90 comes equipped with the advanced High-Sensitivity anti-shake (Digital SR) mode,* which allows the photographer to use higher shutter speeds in dimly lit locations by automatically shifting the sensitivity level to as high as ISO 6400 based on the subject's lighting condition. By coupling this function with the dependable CCD-shift-type SR system, the photographer can effectively minimize adverse effects of camera shake and subject shake, even when shooting at such demanding locations as concert halls and indoor sports arenas.

Question:	Can these pentax's use old pentax lenses
Answer:	I was able to use lenses that I had used on my old film camera ME Super which I think were called K or bayonet mount. They did not have all the functionality of newer lenses but still worked nicely. The Pentax site says these lenses are around since 1975.
Question:	I have a K1000 pentax camera. old school one a 35 mm if i buy this one wiould i need the adapter to use same lens or will the lens work with out the a
Answer:	The answer is a qualified no. Which means the lenses that mount on your K-1000 will mount on the K10D. In fact, they should mount on any Pentax Digital Camera because they all use the Pentax K lens mount. However, two things to bear in mind: First, older K-mount lenses made for Pentax 35mm film cameras will not couple with either the autofocus or auto-exposure systems on the newer Pentax digital cameras. So, you'll have to focus and set exposure settings for your shots manually when using the older K-mount lenses. The other thing to bear in mind is that since the format of the CCD on your K-10 is a different size than that of the 35mm film format, the aspect ratio of the lens changes a little when you mount a lens designed for the 35mm format on a digital camera. The ratio varies depending on the size of your CCD and the lens in question. There's a good article on Photo.net at http://photo.net/equipment/digital/basics/
Question:	Is this camera water proof? to what depth for how long
Answer:	It is weather proof. Which means rain/snow proof as well as against fine dust in a desert environment.Only and only cameras designed especially for underwater photography are water proof. K10D was never meant to be for underwater photography. Having said that with special underwater housing designed for K10D (WHICH COULD BE AS EXPENSIVE AS THE CAMERA ITSELF), it can be used for underwater photography as well.

Question:	is this a USA model
Answer:	Yes, this item is Sold by and Ships by Amazon.com. Therefore, it is an authorized USA product.
Question:	Why does it say it has aps-c crop mode with k mount lenses
Answer:	ASP-C cameras have a smaller sensor 1.5x than a full sensor camera which has the same size sensor as the old 35mm film frame 24 x 36 mm full frame The K 1 and K 1 II allows you to use a crop mode to simulate the ASP-C size sensor if you want
Question:	Do 10 year old K1 lenses still fit the new K
Answer:	All lenses with the Pentax K mount made in the last few decades (I'm not sure when the started the K mount system--the '70s? The '60s?) will fit the Pentax K-1 and earlier cameras. The only difference in the modern K mount lenses and vintage K mount lenses is in the capabilities of the lens itself. In other words, most K mount lenses produced today are capable of allowing for autofocus and programmed modes such as full-auto exposure, aperture-priority, shutter speed priority or full manual control. Most, if not all DSLR cameras made today can be used in all of these modes, provided the lens allows for it, but, unlike most major brands (which changed their mounts), all Pentax cameras that use the K mount can be used with vintage K mount lenses, though limited by the auto capabilities of the particular lens. For example, I have lenses I bought 30+ years ago for my Pentax P-3 35mm film camera that was capable of full-auto program, aperture priority, shutter priority or full manual modes, but not autofocus, so I can use these lenses on my modern Pentax cameras with any of the program modes, but they don't have autofocus capabilities, so focusing has to be done manually (which I usually do, anyway). The same holds true for any vintage K mount lens, even older basic, totally manual lenses made for even older 35mm film cameras, although if the older lens was not made to have automatic functions, your modern camera's automatic functions will not operate, but you can still use it by manually setting all parameters, like "real" photographers did "in the old days". This can be very useful if you come across an older 35mm camera with extra lenses in a yard sale or pawn shop, because you can get some very nice, long or specialty lenses that you can use (if you know how) at a very cheap price and just toss the film camera. (However, if you're buying old lenses, just be sure to check well for scratches and mildew growth inside the lens.)
