Introducing the Pentax K-70
Since its announcement in early June the release of the Pentax K-70 has been eagerly awaited. This was especially true for someone still cradling a near on six-year-old K-5. The K-70 is a midrange DSLR that succeeds the K-50 which came out in mid-2013. As a cost performance option for many shooters its market segmentation should fill the gap nicely below the roundly praised full frame K-1 and enthusiast grade K-3 II. As someone who regularly spends extended periods outdoors, often in environments not overly befitting to kind handling, a rugged, well-built body was a must. The K-70 boasts an impressive 100 weather seals which should serve it well when the going gets rough. In a similar vein to the K-3 II, the K-70 also operates responsively in cold weather at temperatures down to -10°C (14°F). At release today Ricoh is offering the K-70 in two color options including silver or in a traditional black finish. Let’s take a look at why this camera is making some ripples in the Pentaxian world.

Before we start the comparison of both the camera I would like to talk a little bit about Canon 80D
Facts you must know– Canon 80D was announced after Canon 7D Mark II, the announcement was only few months apart but when have seen the sample images of the camera we are highly surprised that Canon 80D sensor was performing better than the Canon 7D Mark II, Take a look at the High ISO test of both the camera and the reason behind the better performance of Canon 80D compared to Canon 7D Mark II.
Both camera features physically almost same sensor size, the Resolution of both the camera is almost same as well as both camera supports hybrid AF system, despite of the fact that Canon uses entirely different technology in which the sensor doesn’t carry any single dead Phase AF pixels inside the sensor as the Pentax does have dedicated array of Phase AF pixels responsible for quick focusing while shooting at live view mode and video.
Advance Phase AF sensor inside the Canon 80D – Canon 80D uses advance Phase AF module inside the camera, the Canon 80D comes with 45 AF points on the other side we have Pentax K-70 camera that features 11 points AF, while shooting through the viewfinder Canon 80D will sure have better coverage compared to Pentax.

Pentax-K70 the new low-light king? We have no doubt when we look at the specification sheet of the Pentax K-70 DSLR camera, the Pentax K-70 High ISO range goes upto 102400 which is completely unbelievable and Canon 80D remains limited to ISO 25600.. Which is really bad.
