Pentax K-3 II Sensor Review and Test Results

DxOMark published their sensor review and test results for the Pentax K-3 II digital SLR camera which is currently body only priced for $1,099,95 at Amazon.

Pentax K-3 II sensor review shows the camera scored a point of 80 and achieves a good score overall with a relatively high 23.6-bit color sensitivity.

According to DxOMark, the K-3 II lags marginally behind the best APS-C sensors in models such as the Nikon D5300 or the Sony A6000 for DR, noise, and color discrimination, but the results do not include sensor resolution or data from the multi-shot Pixel Shift option.

From DxOMark conclusion:

It may lack the out-right sensor performance of the Nikon D7200 in single-shot mode, but the Pentax K-3 II isn’t far behind. Overall then, given the widest range of purpose-built APS-C lenses, the durable build, impressive specifications, and overall capability, the Pentax K-3 II is an attractive and genuinely intriguing option to the usual Canon and Nikon models.
