One downside of having a retractable lens is that it needs to be extended before you can shoot with it, but of course you can always leave it extended if you’re planning to take a few shots in quick succession. The new kit lens, being retractable, also makes the overall package very small - you can slip it neatly into a small bag with ease. The Pentax K-S2 is one of the smallest DSLRs on the market, and in fact it’s being billed as the smallest weatherproof DSLR you can buy. A number of kit options are also available, priced from £649.99 / $799.95. Other specifications include full HD video recording, a top ISO sensitivity of 51200 and a 100% optical pentaprism viewfinder. The 18-50mm f/4-5.6 lens retracts to make the overall system nice and small when you’re transporting it. A new kit lens is included as part of the package. You can use this with an app for your smartphone or tablet which allows remote control and for you to transfer your images across to your device for easy and quick sharing. Also new is Wi-Fi and NFC communication - again a first for Pentax DSLRs. It’s also got a fully articulating rear LCD screen (a first for Pentax) and is also weather-resistant.
For starters, gone are the gimmicky, flashing lights which adorned the K-S1. While it has the same sensor - a 20 million pixel CMOS device with no anti-aliasing filter - a lot of the outward design of the camera has changed it to make it more appealing to enthusiasts. You would probably expect the new Pentax K-S2 to be a straightforward follow on from the K-S1.
