Mileage check PENTAX KP: diagnostics of a compact flagship without moisture protection

Flagship in a compact body: mileage diagnostics PENTAX KP

RICOH IMAGING PENTAX KP (2017) is an unusual device: a flagship processor and K-3 II characteristics in a compact case without moisture protection. A key feature is the interchangeable handles of three sizes included, allowing you to customize your grip to individual preferences. A 24.35-megapixel sensor without an AA filter, built-in Shake Reduction stabilization with 5 stops of compensation and a speed of 7 fps made the KP attractive to both serious amateurs and professionals who prefer a compact body.

The compact flagship is a camera that can be taken everywhere. KP was actively used for street, reportage and everyday photography. Despite the lack of official waterproofing, users often filmed in light rain conditions using the quality of the case. The system counter is the only source of truth about the load.

Flagship resource in a compact body

The KP shutter is designed for 200,000 guaranteed operations - a very serious indicator for a camera without moisture protection. The built-in IBIS does not affect the mechanical counter. A camera with mileage up to 70 thousand is a good buy.
