Introduction: An in-depth review of the Pentax K-500 entry-level DSLR. The K-500 features a 16.3-megapixel with a sensitivity of up to ISO 51,200 and body-based Shake Reduction for easy stabilization of any lens.
Both stuffed with semimanual shooting options, the weather-sealed K-50 and the K-500 seem like great deals. But they just don't come through on the photo quality.
Pentax's most affordable DSLR
As a more accessibly priced model, the $499 Pentax K-500 is a pared down variant of the $699 K-50. It lacks the weather-sealed body and adopts AA batteries instead of a rechargeable lithium-ion pack but how well does the 16Mpix sensor perform?
The Pentax K-500 is a new entry-level DSLR camera with a lot of attractive features for the price. The 16 megapixel K-500 offers 6fps continuous shooting, an 11-point AF system, 3-inch LCD screen, an optical viewfinder with nearly 100% frame coverage and an ISO range of 100-51200. Read our in-depth Pentax K-500 review...
The Pentax K-500 boasts top-notch image quality, and a pentaprism viewfinder, which is unheard of at its entry-level price point.

Pentax K-500 Review: First Impressions
The K-500 may be the entry point into Pentax’s DSLR range, but nobody could accuse the company of skimping on features. It doesn’t have the weatherproofing of the more expensive models in the Pentax range, but little
Lots of superb features, but not quite the stunning bargain we'd hoped for
Pentax K-500 review - an entry-level DSLR to compete against the D600 and D3200.
