Hey Fengwei! It has been a very looooooooong time since you reviewed a camera and this one looks like a great piece of hardware too! Thanks for sharing the photos..they are awesome as usual! If your "casual" is like that, I can't imagine the photographs when you get "serious"!

Haven't visited Clubsnap for such a long time but nice to see Pentax still make cameras with plenty of bang for the buck. Great review Fengwei! K-70 is really compact!

May I ask which is better between the two, K-70 or K-S2? Sans the pixel shift of course. Thank you.

(Done with the Pentax 50f2.8 macro at 1:3 magnification - think will put up for technical discussion.)

Not bad, the ISO 3200 look good for smaller viewing

Not sure is it better than k3.. hmm.

Straight JPEG shot or convert from RAW?

Straight JPEG shot. I think it should be full auto mode. Just cropped, no other editing done.

JW, you did a great job with the K70.

 

[jianw]

Thanks, Felix.
After FW's hands-on at Chinatown, I don't see anyone else (besides myself) using the K70.
Luckily I have Pentax 前辈's to turn to for help/advice.
Thank you, all.
