Used Pentax K-50 Digial SLR Camera with DA L 18-55mm WR Lens, White, undefined

A solid entry level camera with MANY features at a GREAT price.  It is amazing what this camera can do, as shown by the fact that the owner's manual is 300 pages long.

I also add that Adorama's customer service was SUPER.

A solid entry level camera with MANY features at a GREAT price.

I am a rowing coach and I am shooting and filming about 6000picture per year. After 2 years always my cameras (point and shot) start failing and I buy a new one ... always in the price range of 280-400$
This is my first camera which I will be able to change the lense. I bought a 50-200mm lense from Amazon and did the first 100 pictures. 
Great pictures so far. Easy to manage camera, I probably will stay always on Auto mode, because I always do pictures in during day light in California. Good Camera and the company Adorama send me (very fast) the camera and some extras in the package. I can recommend this company.
Thank you

looking for new camera

I bought the K-50 because I already had the K-30 (very similar) and it was a no-brainer for the price.  You absolutely will not get more camera for the price.  Not only does it have great image quality, it's a rugged camera.  I've already used mine in heavy rain and wet snow (with Pentax WR lenses) and it performs flawlessly during and after.  The K-50 is a small DSLR, but has a very sloid feel in your hands, it does not feel cheap like all of the other cameras that you can get for under $1000, or more in a lot of cases.  Very good ergonomically, It's very comfortable in my hands with the deep grip and nice balance.  A couple of features I really like are the built in level, and focus peaking.  Focus peaking makes it easy to use manual focus lenses on a tripod.

Excellent mid level DSLR

I have just had it for a few days, but my initial opinion is favorable. It seems sturdy and the pictures taken, so far,  have been very good in a variety of circumstances.

First impression is good.

Verified impressed,  I have been able to use all my lens from my previous a3000 Pentax film camera.
I was able to take high quality photos immediately. 
Very happy with this camera.

Pentax Camera K50

I got this camera for my wife. It's a good beginner camera with plenty of features. Easy to use. She is enjoying using it.

Great camera

This is my first DSLR, but I have been shooting for years, the weather sealing is what sold me on the cam and it does deliver, I picked up the 50 1.8 in a bundle with this cam and is really recommended,  the deal with the lenses and body is a winner.  The video can get shaky but the sound is acceptable on video, and it is a bit heavier than my other cameras.  
Shooting sports gave it a different feel than my other camera, and was generally fast enough.

solid performer

This is a very good camera. I already have a Pentax K100D, which is a good camera, but it is now outdated performance-wise. Two years ago, I bought a Pentax K-01, and was very pleased with its upgraded features. When I saw that the K-50 had the same sensor as the K-01, and also had an optical viewfinder, I had to get one. I've been using the K-50 for the past two weeks, and it is simply a pleasure. Fast and ready for street shots, extremely high-quality images, a very bright viewfinder, two user-programmed modes, and a very eye-pleasing information monitor make this camera a must have! You should add this camera to your collection, and if this is your first camera, you could not do any better. Did you see the price? Buy one; you will be happy with it.

Pentax K-50: A feature-packed sleeper.

When the Pentax K-30 first debuted I purchased one  to replace a K20D.  The K-30 was a mid level but it blew the K20D away, it was just that much more advanced.  When the K-50 came out I knew it would be good since it shared so much with the K-30.  Last fall I decided to buy a second body, the K-50 price was just excellent, but so was the K-5.  For my usage the mid level K-50 beat the flaghship  K-5.  The K-5 has 14 bits, and the top LCD.  I had found with the K-30 I did not need the top LCD.  The K-50 offered the same sensor, improved autofocus, focus peaking, higher ISO.  The focus advantages made the K-50 win for me.  This is a full feature DSLR at at a fantasitc price.  To find similar specs and performance in other brands you will pay three tiomes as much.

Awesome Camera

Awesome camera to start with, lots of manual controls. This kit is value for money. Packing of the shipment done by Adorama was awesome. Received everything as it is.

Awesome starters camera Pentax K-50

This is my first Pentax. I could not decide between the K50 and the K5IIs. I went with the K50 because it allowed me to invest a little extra into lenses, being that I was switching brands and starting from scratch. I was nervous that I may have made the wrong choice ordering the K50, but once it arrived and I began shooting with it, I knew I had made the right choice. This camera takes excellent pictures. The ergonomics are excellent. This is my first DSLR with dual control dials, and they are nice. The interface of the camera is very intuitive. I got the 35mm f/2.4 prime added to my order (body + kit lens), and with the bundle discount, that was a smart choice. I seem to get sharper images with better bokeh, though the kit lens is by no means bad. 

For the price, this is an amazing camera. Far superior to Canon and Nikon at this price range. I'm not a Pentax fanboy because I just made the switch and did a lot of research before doing so.

I do wish the K50 has stereo mic jack, though I'm not going to really have much of a need for it. 

If you are considering this camera but unsure, do not hesitate. This is the best bang for your buck, period.

An Impressive Surprise

I replaced my K-30 with this camera. I really enjoyed the K-30 but this one was even better. Fantastic quality images, easy to use, a real joy. I've been using Pentax for quite a while and I have no complaints about the K-50. NOTE: I recently purchased a K-5 II s when the price dropped to have a second camera so I could use the K-50 as a quality backup. While the K-5 II s has more features, the image quality next to the K-50 is nearly indistinguishable. The K-50 is an awesome camera!!!

Great, Great Camera!!!

Replacement for Pentax *ist DS. very well made. Love that is weatherproof. Viewfinder is very bright. Uses AA batteries or rechargeable Pentax battery. Loaded with features found on more expensive competitor cameras

Nice Camera at great price

This camera is a big step above Canon and Nikon in the same price range.  Although it is listed by many as a beginner camera, it acts more like a very good prosumer camera.  It is solid, well built and easy to learn if you read the manual and actually go through the instructions with camera in hand.  The 18-135 lens is versatile and will produce very good IQ but you have to learn how to work within its' ranges and capabilities.  Another plus is the weather and dust sealing for both the camera and the lens.

Great Camera For Learning DSLR

I have purchased from Adorama before, so my expectations of quality of product and good service were high. I was not disappointed. It arrived on-time, as projected, well packaged, in excellent condition.
I have had the camera a short time, so not a lot of use yet to uncover anything I don't like; but so far it appears to be just as advertised/reviewed. IQ is great and I particularly like the fast FPS (burst) and great viewfinder. I went with the 18-135mm zoom vs the two lens kit to avoid lens-changing all the time. Glad I did.
Overall very happy with my purchase so far.  JW

Great camera; great service

It feels so great to have a SLR in my hands again, but it also feels great to have  a Pentax back in my hands, too. AF is fast and accurate, ISO noise is low, the optical viewfinder is fantastic, and ergonomics is great. I've used Pentax cameras for a number of years before I left for a 2-year affair with mirrorless systems, but I came back since there was no replacing a solid grip and an optical viewfinder. I mostly use it for photo outings out in cities and macro in parks and nature, and it has performed well with great image quality.

One minor quibble, since this camera lacks a top LCD, this space doesn't seem well used. I love the handling of the camera, but seems like they could more with this space besides moving the mode dial.

The K-50 is a great camera, especially Pentax has the lenses I like and use.

Another Great Pentax Body

I use it as a everyday camera.  Easy to point and shoot and clear pictures.  I really like the way it fits my hands.  I have always trusted Pentax

Easy to use

I wanted a good weather resistant camera for our trip to Alaska next summer. I think this is just what I need. The pictures I have taken so far are great. Be sure to get a kit that includes WR lens, which are included in this package deal.

Good starter kit

This camera is lite, yet feels solid.  I can shoot automatic, or easily dig into the nuts and bolts of settings.  Either way, I can spend more attention on composition ad less time hunting thru menus.  SO far, pictures are sharp, crisp, colors pop.  Very happy.
