  • I like how no one ever mentions *why* Pentax makes weather sealed cameras. For those wondering, it's due to them wanting to protect the sensors from dust and foreign matter. The "Waterproof" effect is just a side effect of that. They wanted their cameras to operate in all areas, even the middle of the desert if necessary.(Sand+Sensor=BAD)

  • What's with the crap music? Get that SHIT off there.

  • Sure, I run my K5 under the tap and scrub it with a soft bristle toothbrush!  I don't use any soap though! Also, be sure that all your doors and weather seal covers are closed and sealed properly before hand. Also be sure that the hotshoe cover is in securely!

  • You can't be in the water!  It's weather sealed, not waterproof.

  • can i take inside pool shot with k5?

  • is it washable also?? 

  • My 'weatherproof' Canon 50d died this weekend after, ahem, getting wet. I think I'll buy this next...

  • @Webofscience Nowhere does it say the XXD series cameras are weather sealed(At least not officially). Know why? They're not. Just saying, don't trust the places that say it's weather sealed if it's not straight from the company. Although, the XXD series can withstand minimal sprinkles. So long as it stays away from the mounting area of the lens. Should you wish to shoot in the rain with a camera like that, use a plastic bag with a hole cut in it for the lens. Works pretty well for light rain.

  • D': oh god

  • PENTAX K-5(K5) ,you have the "BEST ZEISS Lenses of True ED-DA-SMC ED=Low Dispersion Elements,SMC=(Super Multi-Coatings,NOT just Standard Nikkor Coatings on your lenses,& Cheap Fully-Coated on Canon Junk Lenses).Your Asahi PENTAX K-5(K5) is"Water-Proof of 77 Weather Seals,No Nikon D7000s or Canon Jokes of has these capabalities,Your Asahi Gold-Platinum Bodies have Full Standard Magnesium-Aluminum Alloys Durable Bodies!All Protecting the Circuitry from all weather!PENTAX K5=7.1 Colour Accuracy!!!!

  • @Jules7892 You *DO* realize Asahi hasn't owned Pentax in over a decade, correct?

  • wtf?

  • No the Canon 60D is not as weather sealed as the Pentax K5. The Canon 1D & 1Ds series might be though! However, I haven't seen a full diagram of the Canon L series lenses to how well sealed they are. Therefore, I wouldn't suggest you attempt this test without speaking to Canon about the sealing on their bodies and lenses!

  • is this canon 60d are water resistant?plz reply asap thank u 

  • to pour water on a DSLR like that takes cajones...i admit i cringed when he did that lol.........

  • It's called "Murders" by John Frusciante

  • wich music is this??? i need the name...

  • This video made me thirsty.

  • holy fuck

  • thats dope

  • Who's the genius that added music to this? I'm trying to listen what the dude is saying...

  • I have the Silver and the 18-55mm WR is quite nice. I'm very happy with my cam so I placed an order for the 100mm Wr macro. Pentax is amazing quaity!

  • Hey Imsno0zin, the Pentax 6x7 was quite the beast! I've shot with the 645N and it was sweet! I just recently had the opportunity to shoot with the 645Digital. It's so amazing. The detail & dynamic range just blows me away!!!! It could very well be my next purchase!!!

  • Blinkphtogalleries

  • Really enjoyed watching your video. I subscribed to your channel. If you get the chance, please do the same to mine. Thanks!

  • Excellent stuff! I became a fan of Pentax through buying a used 67. The lenses are amazing, and the weather-sealed K-5 looks amazing as well.

    I've also heard good things about the FA Limited series lenses. Shots from the 31mm seem to leap off the screen. If I ever make the switch to digital, it's Pentax all the way for me.

  • I'll most definitely get the successor of the K-5 as soon as my EOS 40D dies :3

  • @donconco Glad to hear we have another convert! My friend bought an EOS 40D along with a fast lens despite my recommendations and facts shown. He just wanted a "Canon." For the same price he could have got a K-5 with 18-55mm WR kit.

  • @BoxxyFan You're nuts. I chose Pentax specifically for it's fast primes as I am a prime shooter. Plus Pentax has some incredible legacy glass still supported.

  • that makes me nauseous to watch... pouring water on a dslr. awesome. coincidentally, i'm jumping ship from a d300 to a k-5. hell yes. well, just as soon as i find some money.

  • As a Canon fan, I can say without a doubt that I will not be purchasing from them anymore. The quality and performance are exceptional. But, the price is absurd. Good luck canon in this economy. Pentax is a clear winner in the price to performance ratio, although the k-5 is a little overpriced in the U.S. market, but then again, the dollar is toast.

  • BoxxyFan,i imagine than you schould make fantastic photos i guess, can i see them ? I think,, obviously, you are a Photograph, so, where are your pics please, i need a lol.

  • I have the K-X and I'm simply dying for the K5! :D

  • Apertures below f/2 are pretty useless on CMOS sensors, that's simply why pentax is building apparently slower lenses while canon, sony and nikon keep up with their astounding marketing numbers.

  • Hey, what's your problem? Did anyone say that the NEX was a piece of shit? No, you were the first to trash talk. Maybe you feel the need to trash other brands to make you feel better about your purchase, I'm not sure. However, you need to do your homework before you start shooting your mouth off about things you know nothing about. You're making yourself look like an idiot!

    PENTAX FA 31mm f/1.8

    PENTAX FA 43mm f/1.9

    PENTAX FA 77mm f/1.8

    The tree lenses above are rated among the sharpest l

  • PENTAX: for people that actually go outside and shoot pics.

    That should be their slogan.

  • i've always wanted a camera i can piss on

  • @asigravitate hahahahaha!

  • Good Point! Make sure all seals are well closed on the side and bottom of body,, hot shoe cover is on, PC Sync cover is on and make sure you're using a weather sealed lens ( DA* or WR ) series lens.

  • Important note: If you are not using your flash make sure the flash shoe cover is seated when the camera is subjected to a continual stream of water.

  • since the K20D I never worried about protecting my camera at any weather conditions.. It`s soooo relaxing :-) And my K20D and K-7 have seen a lot of "bad" weather.

  • The NEX-5 is not even a D-SLR.

    BTW: My Dad can kick your Dad's ass!

  • @WeetodidDan Yep, that's true. It's better than a DSLR, it doesn't have a stupid fucking mirror!

  • @BoxxyFan HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • @BoxxyFan Go ahead see what happens. Take a bottle of water to it. And anyways the K-5 is in a whole nother class than the NEX-5.

  • @canadaisthenorth Pentax has shit lenses. For example, Sony has a 35/1.8 for $175 and Pentax is selling not only a slower but more expensive 35/2.4 for $219. Pentax even refers to f/2.4 as 'fast'. BAHAHAHAH. Wtf Pentax??

  • Comment removed

  • @BoxxyFan A. Optical quality (if represented numerically) correlates with price. umad, poorfag?

    B. f/2.4 is fast, you FUCKING ASSHOLE. YOU PROBABLY SHOOT WIDE OPEN IN BROAD FUCKING DAYLIGHT WITH YOUR FUCKING LOMO LENSES FUCKING SUPERGLUED TO YOUR FUCKING CANON.

  • @canadaisthenorth Bahaha, f/2.4 is fast?? Pfft, I bet you haven't even used a real prime below f/2 before. You haven't lived buddy. I understand though, it's unfortunate Pentax doesn't make an affordable 'normal' fast lens. f/2.4 is the best you have? I feel sorry for you and your limited lens line up. You should seriously consider jumping ship.

  • @BoxxyFan Ok I'll go along with your retarded Idea that aperture always = speed (when its actually the whole system itself sometimes the aperture). They make a f/1.4 lens so suck on it. And who the fuck cares about affordability when you have a lens that is built like a tank, doesn't have shit glass, and has superior optical quality.

  • @BoxxyFan And they do have a extensive lineup of lenses, over 100 K-mount lenses (including one f/1.2) from various manufacturers. But your shitty little NEX-5 only has 3 E-mount. And you'd have to butcher a lense to get it to work on a NEX-5, don't even think about being able to auto focus. Don't forget no optical view finder, and no hot-shoe.

  • @BoxxyFan @BoxxyFan And they do have a extensive lineup of lenses, over 100 K-mount lenses (including one f/1.2) from various manufacturers. But your shitty little NEX-5 only has 3 E-mount. And you'd have to butcher a lense to get it to work on a NEX-5, don't even think about being able to auto focus. Don't forget no optical view finder (Theres a inaccurate body mounted one for $199 but I guess that's not affordable for you), and don forget no hot-shoe .

  • @canadaisthenorth First of all, it does have a hot shoe and Sony will release an external flash next year for one. Not that I would need it because it hast the best APS-C sensor and can shoot ISO3200 with no problems. Also there will be a fast Carl Zeiss released for it and 6 other lens coming out for it next year. There is no butchering whatsoever, stick on an adapter and the NEX-5 can take on pretty much any lens ever made (yes that includes your shitty Pentax lenses if I wanted to mount shit)

  • @BoxxyFan even the k-x which is way cheaper than a nex-5 can shoot high ISO with no problems

  • @BoxxyFan Well I have used both and the K-5 is a much better camera altho the NEX-5 is very good.You can not really compare them as they were made for different purposes. But actually the K-5 has the best APS-C sized sensor for noise control.

  • @beafle

    I like the K5 a lot except for two things- I think it's too expensive and I don't like the selection of Pentax primes. Not enough fast lenses.

  • @canadaisthenorth Also with adapter it will accept Sony lenses with built in AF motors and will support Autofocus (this includes the wonderful $175 Sony 35/1.8). Now let's look at Pentax's current line up. Your 35mm is a slow f/2.4 and you have the 40/2.8, 21/3.2 and 70/2.4. What the fuck? Nothing faster than f/2! Also while you have the sloooww 15/4, Sony has a 16/2.8!!! There is nothing affordable and fast in the Pentax lineup. Period. What good is waterproof if you have no good fast lenses??

  • @BoxxyFan

    obviously you're an idiot. before you make some generalization about one brand, make sure that you do your research properly. Pentax has the DA14/2.8, FA31/1.8, FA43/1.9, FA50/1.4, DA55/1.4, FA77/1.8. no good fast lenses, eh? now shoo before you embarrass yourself further.

  • @dgmaverick

    I agree with him. I've looked at Pentax because I think their bodies are great- but there are not enough fast primes- and the fast primes they do have are overpriced. Cameras like the kx are incredible value- but Pentax really charges a premium for their primes. The k5 is also currently overpriced.

  • @ar4216

    no one has as extensive as a collection as primes (that can currently be used) on their system than pentax

  • @obsidiannnnn I just did a search and Canon has 41 primes and Pentax has 22 primes. That doesn't include all the third party lenses. And if you want to include older legacy lenses, which is not what I was referring to, look at all the Minolta glass you can use with Sony DSLRs. Regardless, you didn't really respond to the thrust of my comment- which is about FAST primes that are reasonably priced. To be fair, new fast glass from anyone tends to be pretty expensive- but I think Pentax is pricier.

  • @BoxxyFan pentax lenses definitely aren't shit

  • Yup a fantastic tune!!!  Good on ya!

  • Murderers - John Frusciante ;)

  • Hey LZmiljoona,

    Most cameras take 4-6 weeks on average for repair. Where are you located? Sometimes you have the option to send the camera direct to the manufacturer which speeds up the process. I hope this helps!

  • Yes the 16-50mm f/2.8 lens is on the Pentax K5 in the video.

  • I'm thinking about buying the K-5 with the Pentax 16-50mm F2.8. Is this lens mounted here?

  • @yayyay5137 Yes,its is

  • It's a pity that pentax isn't organised very well at my place, so the guy at my local store recommends me not to buy one. It would last weeks to get your camera beck when you send it in to repair. :(

    I think I will buy a Nikon D7000, but I want that weather sealing and temperature "resistant-ness" :)

  • K-5 and k-7 use same magnesium body.

  • Not only is the K-5, K-7, K20D, K10D, K200D, and DA* series lenses weather sealed against water - including the accessory D-BG4 battery grip which extends shooting functionality in horizontal or vertical orientation - they are also sealed against dust and fine powder such as talc.

  • Yes the Pentax K10, K200, K20, K7, 645D & K5 are equally weather sealed.

  • wow, since K5 is the same body as the K7, i guess the K7 is also like this?

  • Impressive weather sealing. I think Pentax have a real winner with the K-5.

  • For the photog who shoots in extreme weather why would he/she choose anything else??!! I've never seen any other brand attempt a demo like this!!
