Pentax K-50 Review 2026: (Part 1)
February 2026, Carl Garrard
Pentax K-50 Review (updated for the modern market): You'd think that enthusiasts would be uncontrollably jumping for joy because of the kind of DSLRS we get today for the used prices they are set at. But alas, I still see comment after comment about pricing and lack of features and all sorts of other nonsense. Pentax threw the gauntlet at those customers with the K50. It's both reasonably priced and spec'd to the hilt, and can and has come with a class leading weather resistant kit lens to boot. There's simply no arguing that the K50 is a lot of camera for the price by anyone, especially these days with used prices. And when you dig deeper than looking over spec sheets and price, you'll find that there's even more to like about this camera too. While Pentax has largely stopped development and production on DSLR's they left some decent cameras in the wake of the good ol days.
