Easy auto mode, Fast, accurate focusing, Decent dim light performance, Autofocus motor in camera body, Weatherproofing in budget DSLR body
Noisy autofocus motor, Bulky and heavy, Build lacks refinement, Amateur interface, Lens is somewhat flimsy, WiFi connection is unstable
The Pentax K-S2 is a sturdy-bodied DSLR built to withstand torture, and it also delivers good image quality. Unfortunately, it loses out on account of weight, inferior video quality, tacky lens mechanism, amateurish interface, and lack of overall refineme...
The K-S2 has everything you'd want from an enthusiast D-SLR. If you're new to the market and haven't already invested in lenses from another manufacturer, then this camera is certainly worth considering. Despite sharing a sensor and a few specs with its s...
Photo answers review Photo answers rating Barely six months separate the launch of the Pentax K-S1 and the K-S2. The latter isn't a replacement for the earlier release – which famously features flashing disco lights on the handgrip – but sits above it...
Abstract: The Pentax K-S2 D SLR measures 12x11x9cm and it weights 848grams (without neck strap attached). The second figure the width is achieved by the lens being locked in closed position which makes the 18 to 55mm lens smaller than it would otherwise appear, as...
Great image quality, particularly for RAW, Excellent viewfinder, Handy OIS system
Fairly poor for video, Non-touch screen
Pentax K-S2 – Features The Pentax K-S2 has a solid array of accompanying features that are in contrast to the lightweight extras we saw in the K-S1. On the predictable side, there's Wi-Fi and NFC. These will enable you to hook up the KS-2 to a mobile devi...

Two steps forward, one step back Pentax has a long history of making better-than-expected entry-level shooters, and this camera isn't any different. It's not great, but it's better than average and offers a compelling feature set for the price. Better...
In a competitive class it could well be argued that the K-S2 is one of the most pleasing DSLRs to use thanks to the large viewfinder and impressive control set-up.While the large handgrip might not suit everyone it will certainly grow on you, while the im...
The Pentax K-S2 offers excellent photo quality, a solid weather-sealed build, a big viewfinder and a broad feature set
Its video quality is middling to poor
For the first-timer or family photographer, the Pentax K-S2 is a nice dSLR, but it drops the ball for video and you should pass on the new 18-50mm kit lens....
Build quality, Tropicalised body and lens, 100% optical viewfinder, Swivel display, Excellent handling, intuitive controls, Lots of finetuning options for a prosumer model, Image quality up to 1600 ISO, Tons of features in smartphone/tablet app
Low battery life, Slow AF, especially using Live View, Kit lens doesn't collect much light and lacks detail, Video function
The K-S2 is brimming with good ideas. It should have no trouble finding buyers, thanks to its tropicalised body and lens, intuitive build and controls, bright viewfinder, customisability, swivel screen and picture quality. Other aspects might turn users o...
Purple fringing evident sometimes, Underexposes a little, No touchscreen
Pentax is pitching the K-S2 as a 'family' camera, but its powerful features, twin control dials and weatherproofing will appeal to enthusiasts too. The specs are like the K-S1's, but the design is much more grown-up....
