Pentax K3 Mark III
The 25.7MP APS-C BSI sensor and SAFOX 13 101-point phase-detection AF deliver sharp detail at up to 12 fps burst shooting, while the 1.05x-magnification pentaprism viewfinder provides a bright, uncompromised optical experience. In-body 5-axis shake reduction and the included weather-sealed 16-85mm lens add stabilization and versatility for adverse conditions. This kit suits outdoor and product photographers who prioritize a tank-like DSLR build and dependable optical autofocus over video or portability.
