Product Overview

Pentax K-S1 is an affordable DSLR camera in the Pentax K-mount system. Introduced by Pentax in 2014, it comes with an APS-C sensor with 20 MP (5472 x 3648) resolution.
The camera has a usable battery life, though a second battery may be a good thing to keep in your camera bag. The K-S1's 5.4 fps burst rate limits its use for certain types of photography, but it is hardly something that most photographers should worry about.
The Pentax K-S1 comes with 11 autofocus points.
