Does the camera manufacturer PENTAX make good quality digital cameras?

Question

Does the camera manufacturer PENTAX make good quality digital cameras compared to Canon, Nikon, Sony, Panasonic, Casio etc?

Answer 1

Pentax is a camera/imaging company first, just like Nikon, Canon, Olympus and Leica. Sony, Panasonic and Casio are consumer electronic companies and make cameras along with other items. Pentax quality is right there with the best of them and far better than companies like Casio. Sony and Panasonic do make good cameras, especially now that Sony has taken over the Konika Minolta camera business. Pentax is definitely a good, solid choice.  

Answer 2

Yes, i have one and have been very happy with it.

Answer 3

The Pentax K series with built-in image stabilization contained in the camera body is truly a sound camera base on which to build on.  And of course, their auxilliary lenses are far more affordable than auxilliary lenses offered by Nikon or Canon.  I'd choose the Pentax camera if you are on a budget.

Good luck!
