Mirror with RGB backlight: mileage diagnostics PENTAX K-S1

RICOH IMAGING PENTAX K-S1 (2014) is a non-standard DSLR created for a youth audience. A body with RGB LED display that acts as visual feedback when shooting, an unusual design and bright color options have attracted people for whom the camera is part of their lifestyle. At the same time, inside there is a quite decent 20-megapixel sensor without an AA filter, compatibility with K-mount lenses and the housing is waterproof. A non-standard concept means a non-standard history of use.

The young audience takes photographs actively and impulsively: parties, concerts, city walks. At the same time, the camera actively changes hands. Check the mileage before purchasing this unusual DSLR.

Unexpected moisture protection and resource K-S1

The K-S1 shutter is designed for 100,000 guaranteed operations. The presence of moisture protection in a youth cell is a rarity, which increases its practical value. The optimal mileage when purchasing is up to 35 thousand.
