Conclusion
Who uses a camera with a tripod, which is not so immensely benefit from the stabilizers and possibilities for wobble free shots. So are the strengths of this camera of less indoors, where you can fine tune many settings and the setting and can prepare in such a way that comes to no problems. The camera can still score. The picture quality is very good and succeed in the recordings. Who knows a little about an ISO and sharpening settings, which will get quickly good results. And sure - much also comes from the lenses.
Pictures outside
Sometimes, you want to make also spontaneous shots without long on the settings. But, the camera has a feature that makes it possible without long light specimens or settings messy fast shots. It is necessary the smear in so far they make, as always on clarity and optimal settings are biased and thus is the lowest common denominator of all possible settings. So you can expect no artistic recording, but succeeds thanks to the image stabilizers to make good photos from relative motion out. You should weigh in but not false hopes. This camera is no action cam, no fast rides and then sharp and well-focused images.
Video recording
First and foremost I do with camera video recordings, part home, part en route. The sound can not keep unfortunately cameras with the conventional Vloggin, which are intended specifically for such cases and are also very easily in the hand. Nothing more despite is this device well in the hand and is not as hard as you would expect from a such a massive body. Also when you get highly pure ground stabilization is still good, so you can make even good pictures, when other cameras.
Contrast and results
The results are acceptable, the photos have a nice contrast and also outfitted their significance. The quality of the results is also always depends on the lens, is able to convince here but quite. The exposure has Yes a great flexibility and can adapt to many different situations. So you have a good and faithful companion for a snack in a camera (l) of various subjects and situations. This is not the case for many. Where the Sony makes already Tuckered, as this camera starts.
Lenses
Included only in the KIT, so if you buy the camera, which must invest themselves. This is but not so tragic, because with the supplied camera lenses is Yes only rarely satisfied. Who wants to do professionally good images, which should put to good objects. The need for home and hobby area also lenses from the no name range area. These are indeed cheap, but pose a very important disadvantage: because all components are adjusted to each other and strictly concerted build, it has name if NO lenses and Biltzern the problem that the cam under certain circumstances is no longer waterproof. This is especially fatal when it wants to turn out or want to shoot. Therefore, eyes on the lens purchase and superior, good, whether or not it is not worthwhile to invest a few bucks more.
Buy recommendation Yes or no
Sure, as a digital SLR camera is a product for which you can type no simple recommendation. Which model for which task approach attracts and prefers depends on so many factors that one can not summarize this in a simple little conclusion. However, I would say that you get a good SLR digital camera with Pentax K 3, can be used also versatile.
Price - performance ratio
With a price tag of more than 1000 euros, itself certainly does not belong to the bargain, but still long time not top is located in the price ladder. The relationship between price and performance is acceptable and to get good equipment at fair prices for the camera. While you should be much more deeply access other manufacturers for similar equipment in the bag this is located here in an acceptable and fair area.
