The Pentax KF is one of the only new DSLRs you can still buy, and I spent a month testing it — here’s what I think

After shooting with the Pentax KF DSLR camera for a few weeks, I have to admit, it’s not going to make me switch from my beloved mirrorless. But it does have a few things going for it.

If you’re looking for one of the best cameras for beginners, the Pentax KF is a decent option — and indeed if you want a new beginner DSLR, it’s the only option. It boasts a sturdy, weather-sealed design and a convenient vari-angle LCD screen. It largely retains the core features of its predecessor, the K-70, such as a 24MP sensor and even IBIS.
