Pentax Announces KP DSLR with Exchangeable Grip and Weather-Resistant Design; More Info at B&H Photo Video
Photography News: Pentax has introduced its newest compact APS-C DSLR, with an interchangeable grip, in-body Shake Reduction II, and sensitivity to ISO 819200
The Pentax KP was designed for outstanding low-light performance due to a newly developed 24.3MP APS-C CMOS sensor that eliminates its anti-aliasing filter and the PRIME IV Engine with an accelerator unit for processing. This enables it to reach sensitivities up to ISO 819200 with minimal noise as well as capture maximum sharpness at all times.Click here for high-resolution version
The KP delivers high-quality imagery through an advanced 24.3MP APS-C CMOS sensor that is designed to create detailed images with minimal noise at sensitivities up to ISO 819200. Guaranteeing maximum resolution, the sensor lacks an anti-aliasing, or optical low-pass, filter though this will cause a higher chance of aliasing and moire. For situations at risk of these artifacts, users can leverage an AA Filter Simulator function that slightly moves the sensor in order to mimic the effects of a physical filter.Click here for high-resolution version
The AF360FGZ II has wireless master and slave TTL capabilities with access to 4 channels. It utilizes an optical pulse to transmit information and trigger flash units up to 13.1' away. Also, this unit has access to a contrast control sync setting that enables the adjustment of the output of multiple flashes from a single unit.Click here for high-resolution version

/EINPresswire.com/ -- NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - January 25, 2017) - B&H is pleased to share Pentax's announcement of the KP DSLR -- a compact, APS-C-format camera featuring a 24.3MP CMOS sensor and PRIME IV image processor. The sensor's design omits an optical low-pass filter for improved sharpness and resolution, and its 5-axis Shake Reduction II (SRII) mechanism also helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake by 5 stops. Additionally, this sensor-shift system is used for an AA Filter Simulation function to mimic the effects of an optical low-pass filter when required, and is also used for Pixel Shift Resolution to gain increased color information and clarity while shooting. Besides benefitting image quality, the PRIME IV processor helps to realize impressive sensitivity to ISO 819200 for low-light shooting, as well as Full HD 1080p/30 video recording, 4K interval movie, and continuous shooting rates up to 7 fps.

Balancing the sensor's and processor's capabilities is one of Pentax's main calling cards of camera design: robust, tough physical construction that is fully dustproof, weather-resistant, and cold-resistant to temperatures as low as 14°. Beyond the camera's durability is one of its most distinguishing features -- an exchangeable, removable right-hand grip that can be swapped for one of three sizes to best suit various hand sizes. Available in Small, Medium, and Large, these grips are easily attached to the body via a single captive hex screw, and all three sizes will be included with the KP upon launch. Among other physical attributes Pentax is known for, the KP does feature a large 0.95x-magnification pentaprism optical viewfinder, in addition to a 3.0" 920k-dot tilting LCD monitor, and built-in Wi-Fi is available for wireless image transfer, and remote control via a smartphone or tablet.
Introduced alongside the Pentax KP DSLR is a host of matched accessories, including the D-BG7 Battery Grip, to provide extended shooting times and a more comfortable grip; an K-AC167U AC Adapter Kit to power the camera from an AC source for long-term continuous shooting; the CS-310 Cable Switch to remotely trigger the camera's shutter; and a pair of fitted, protective cases: the O-CC90 Camera Case and the O-CC16 Camera Case.
