    Pentax K-x Scores Kindergarten-Friendly 'Robotic Colors' Makeover

    It just looks like a toy. This real, fully-functional dSLR is a limited edition Pentax K-x in the color scheme of Japan's Kore Ja Nai robot (the little guy in the shot). More »

    Pentax K-x DSLR Shoots 12MP Photos, 720p Video for $650 (And It's Blood Red)

    Pentax's entry-level game just got interesting with the K-x: At $650, the followup to the K2000 is the cheapest DSLR that'll shoot 720p video. And it comes with blood red, shiny blue and cookies 'n' cream white. More »

    Pentax K-X DSLR Leaks, Due to Launch Tomorrow

    Photorumors has a few pictures and a complete list of specs for Pentax's K-X DSLR, which they claim is going to set to launch tomorrow. Looks like it'll pack a 12.4MP CMOS sensor, 720p video and 2.7-inch LCD. More »

    Pentax W80 Camera Review: Waterproof and Now Slightly Ruggedized

    The Pentax W80 is their latest in a long line of waterproof cams that take decent shots, but have always been my favorite because of their compact size. This one is a bit bigger, but gains ruggedization and depth. More »

    Pentax P80 Is Less Than an Inch Thick, but Has 12 Megapixels, Rapid Face Detection and 720p Video Recording

    Pentax's P80 camera doesn't really do anything that original or spectacular for its time—the 12.1 megapixel sensor, 720p, 30 fps video recording, face detection and 0.8-inch thickness are all pedestrian compared to other cams—BUT it is $200. More »

    Pentax's WS80 Budget Waterproof Camera Kind of Can't Swim

    Pentax's Waterproof cameras are super pocketable, and so I love them, but the WS80 is only rated for 5 feet. That's no better than their first gen w10 model and far worse than their W80 model rated at 16 feet. More »

    Pentax's Optio W80 Can Take a Serious Beating

    Pentax's Optio W80 is its most rugged and waterproof point-and-shoot yet: it goes 16 feet underwater, survives drops from 3.3 feet and works in 14 degree weather. It also has a smudge resistant screen. $300. More »

    Sigma's Zoomy 18-250mm Lens Review/Rant: Better to Have 1 Lens or Many?

    I was psyched when Sigma sent me an 18-250mm lens to test, because I am lazy and love the idea of a single lens that I can use to take most shots. At $530, it seemed like a decent price for that much range. But then I got to thinking... More »

    Pentax's Rugged, 720p-Shooting K-7 DSLR Will Cost $1300

    Two days after Pentax's entry into the video DSLR game was leaked all to hell, the company has issued a formal announcement. So that 720p video function, automatic HDR, and lush LCD? It's all there. More »

    The Pentax K-7 Shoots 720P Video and HDR

    Sure, there's a chance RiceHigh's Pentax Blog has painstakingly fabricated shots and details of the upcoming Pentax K-7, but let's go ahead and list the dSLR's unconfirmed specs anyway. More »

    Pentax Optio E75 Is Waterproof and Sorta Cheap

    You might default to a brand like Canon when it comes to point and shoots, but our own Brian Lam swears by Pentax's reputation for building pocketable, waterproof cameras. More »

    Pentax K20D Titanium Edition Charges $500 Extra For a Fancy Finish

    The Pentax K20D DSLR will set you back about $700, which isn't too bad for a DLSR. But the Titanum version? Oh, that one's $1,200. It's got titanium on it, people! More »

    What Ho! A New Pentax DSLR Looms, Coming May 21

    Pentax's "K7D"—the supposed name of an upcoming DSLR that hopefully includes HD video capture—is on the way, and it looks like on May 21 we'll know more. Because right now, we know very little. More »

    Camo Green Pentax K2000 Makes Your DSLR Look Downright Civilian

    Remind me again why DSLRs are almost always black or silver? Pentax, whose cookies 'n' cream white K2000 dazzled in December, doesn't seem to know either, and now they're releasing a limited-edition green version. More »

    Pentax X70 24x Superzoom Is First With 720p Video

    Pentax's X70 is a non-DSLR with 24x Superzoom, but it's also the first of its kind to include 720p video recording. More »

    Limited Edition Pentax K2000 DSLR is $800 For Black, $680 For Black and White

    That slick-looking white limited edition Pentax K2000 DSLR we previewed and drooled all over in December got official pricing and availability info this weekend, and it was much less than we anticipated it would be. More »
