Pentax k5 and Nikon d7000. Life's first SLR.

These two kinds of SLR are great, basically you don't need any other recommendation, just choose one, you won't regret it, and you will use it for a long time.

Attach some simple comparisons between the two machines:

Image quality: The cmos used by the two machines, D7000 and k-5, is the same, so the actual image quality of the film is very similar. The difference in image quality between them is mainly manifested in color, which is related to the algorithm in the machine. Pentax film tends to be rich in color, while Nikon tends to be real and vivid. And now there are many settings in the digital SLR body, which can be adjusted appropriately to make more gorgeous or more realistic films. But if you don't do post-production most of the time and usually don't like to study the settings and adjustments in the machine, then Pentax k-5 still has some advantages in film production.

Lens: Since we plan to hang the full face, Nikon's 18- 105vr is the best choice, with high cost performance. However, in Pentax, the focal length of DA/KOOC-0/8-55WR is not comprehensive, and DA/KOOC-0/8-/KOOC-0/35 is too expensive (nearly 4,000 yuan, almost the price of Nikon Minotaur/KOOC-0/6-85), so it is difficult to choose. Because you mentioned a dog head, the price should not be too expensive, so I compared Pentax DA 18-55WR with Nikon 18- 105vr. The focal length of 18- 105VR is better than that of DA 18-55WR (more suitable for hanging mirrors), and the aperture of the 55mm end 18- 105 is larger than that of 10-55, which means that. The small advantage of DA 18-55WR is its waterproof performance and better workmanship.

Fuselage performance: D7000' s 39 o'clock 9 o'clock cross focusing system is considerable, which is better than 7D's 19 o'clock full cross. K-5' s focusing system is also good, but it is inferior. Moreover, D7000 has a metering system with 20 16 points (zones), which supports the linkage of electric measurement, which is also the strongest SLR under 10,000 yuan. In contrast, Pentax k-5' s metering in Zone 77 is much worse. K-5 is better than D7000 in continuous shooting, 7 k-5 and 6 D7000 per second, but obviously this gap is much smaller than that of focusing system.

Other aspects: the metal coverage of the k-5 fuselage is slightly higher than that of the D7000 (but it is all semi-metal fuselage). The overall operation of the D7000 is a little more convenient. A row of buttons are arranged on the left side of the fuselage, which can make both hands work more harmoniously and quickly. In contrast, the shortcut keys of K-5 are mostly concentrated in the right hand area, and the operation convenience is slightly worse than that of D7000. (You can refer to those higher-end cameras, such as 5D2/3, D800/700 and so on. , evenly divided into buttons on both sides, making it easier to complete the operation quickly. )

In addition, Nikon has a much larger number of users in China than Pentax, and it also has great advantages in second-hand trading and experience sharing, not to mention maintenance and after-sales. The gap is still quite large. Both are good machines. Relatively speaking, I recommend D7000.
