Un poco tarde, por que lo que se dice nueva no es, Steve’s Digicams nos ofrece su análisis a fondo de la Pentax K5 II. Me hubiera gustado que el análisis hubiera sido de la K5 IIs, pues últimamente cada vez le tengo más manía al nefasto filtro AA, y una cámara me parece menos cámara si su sensor lo lleva incluido ¿ Oído Canon ?.
Pues bien, si más no como recordatorio, os pongo en el formato habitual que uso para esta WEB el resumen de características de la DSLR y los «pros» y «contras» del análisis.
