Decent DSLRs are becoming harder to find - and particularly so if you want to find a deal. But we have just spotted that Amazon has dropped the price on the Pentax K-70 , with its 18-50mm kit zoom, to what we think is the best price ever - down to just £462.30.
One of the best Pentax cameras, the K-70 a brilliant all-round DSLR with weather sealing plus some tricks that you usually only find in mirrorless cameras – such as in-body image stabilization that's good for 4.5 stops of shake compensation.
Rugged of build to a semi-pro standard plus smart of design, the K-70 is probably the best all-round Pentax camera that enthusiast photographers can buy, by virtue of its weather resistant exterior being a rarity at its price. It comes with the weather-protected Pentax 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 DA SMC AL WR that is a great rugged partner for this camera.
Also handy is an in-body image stabilization system with an equivalent performance of 4.5EV stops, and for traditionalists the fact that its optical viewfinder features a near 100% field of view. It also offers an 11-point AF system with hybrid phase detection when shooting in live view.
Combine this with a variable angle LCD and pictorial output that requires very little in the way of adjustment, and the K-70 is one of the more reliable and consistent DSLRs you can buy at an affordable price.
