Photographer Brian Maneely just shared one heck of a "commercial" for Pentax DSLRs. In a story posted on Ricoh Imaging's Facebook page, he shares how he and his camera got doused in pink fire retardant by a firefighting plane... and then kept on shooting.
After leaking onto the web late last week, the Pentax K-5 II and K-5 IIs have now been officially announced. The cameras succeed the K-5 as Pentax's flagship DSLR, and feature a 16.3MP APS-C CMOS sensor, an ISO range of 100-12800 (expandable to 80-51200), an 11-point autofocus system, a 3-inch LCD screen, 1080p HD video recording, in-camera stabilization, RAW shooting, a 100% FOV viewfinder, full weather sealing, and 7fps continuous shooting.
