Die Pentax KP ist aufgrund der gelungenen Mischung aus Retro-Design und moderner Technik eine ganz besondere Spiegelreflexkamera. Etwas dürftig aus aktueller Sicht sind lediglich die Funktionen zur Videoaufnahme - wer darauf keinen besonderen Wert legt, kann bei der KP zugreifen...

    Filmfreunde werden mit der Pentax KP nicht glücklich, Fotografen, die gerne Kameraeinstellungen ändern und sich von Wind und Regen nicht abschrecken lassen, dagegen schon. Die Bildqualität ist hoch, auch bei wenig Licht. Der Autofokus stellt mit modernen Objektiven schnell und genau scharf, mit älteren Objektiven dauert es etwas länger.
