In total four new Pentax cameras are being unveiled and include the company’s flagship DSLR K-5 II, their interchangeable lens Q and the introductory X-5.
The DSLRs promote the familiar function-meets-style akin to Pentax, largely owed to their seemingly bulky size, but their mirrorless camera seems to be on the skinny side, only exhibiting Pentax DNA through its retro styling.
Also on show are the company’s new K-mount lens and a medium format lens. Following are the cameras detailed as per Pentax’s official press release.
