Reviewer verdict

Across 13 YouTube reviews, the Pentax K-50 earns an Index score of 4.1/5, ranking #12 among DSLRs. Reviewers most often praise its usability/handling, other, image quality, while the most common criticisms concern usability/handling, video capabilities.

The K-50 is repeatedly praised for its handling and usability, with 27 reviewers highlighting features like a 3-inch fully articulating high‑resolution LCD, a large 100% coverage pentaprism viewfinder, dual control dials, and an ergonomic, well‑weighted grip. Reviewers also frequently note the camera's strong image quality and in‑body image stabilization (22 mentions), praising low‑light performance, usable high‑ISO results, and the lack of an anti‑aliasing filter. Many reviewers (26 mentions) commend the solid build and weather sealing, broad feature set (intervalometer, creative modes, wide lens compatibility), and overall value for money for an enthusiast DSLR. Additional commonly mentioned positives include reliable autofocus and respectable continuous shooting performance and buffer clearing times across several reviews.

Criticisms center mostly on handling quirks and usability annoyances (13 mentions), such as awkward focus‑point selection behavior, disabled controls when the LCD is flipped for video/selfie use, and the camera's relatively heavy feel. Video capabilities are a frequent complaint (6 mentions), with reviewers calling video features limited, noting poor audio options (only a built‑in mono mic), rolling shutter and other video quality issues. Image quality and high‑ISO noise draw some negative notes (6 mentions) about noise above certain ISOs and softness with kit lenses, and reviewers also point out occasional performance hitches in burst/buffer behavior and some autofocus limits in low light.

after you've selected your focus point the directional pads button remain in focus point selection mode, disabling traditional functions ▶ Pentax K-S2 Hands On Review @ 6:13
lacking features such as an articulated lcd ▶ Best DSLR Camera In 2024 - Top 10 New DSLR Cameras Review @ 2:53
gets in its own way is with the focus point selection ▶ Pentax K-S2 Hands On Review @ 5:54
the green button and the manual says that it's used to and I'm quoting here reset the values being adjusted but until you start using the camera in lots of different ways that description doesn't really tell you much about what it does ▶ Pentax K-50 @ 3:07
one feature I wish this camera had is a proximity sensor so that the rear screen would go off when you put the camera to your eye for shooting in low light environments it's distracting to have the info screen glaring in your peripheral vision while you're framing up a shot ▶ Pentax K-50 @ 8:14
it's a little bit hard to get the SD card in there ▶ I go over the general features of a new Pentax K50 DSLR @ 0:12

Video Capabilities (6)

video mode is lacking ▶ Pentax K-S2 Hands On Review @ 13:06
not being the best choice for video capture ▶ Best DSLR Camera In 2024 - Top 10 New DSLR Cameras Review @ 2:51
the video performance isn't quite as awesome as you might think at first ▶ Pentax K-50 @ 6:31
you're stuck with the onboard mono mic for all your audio there's no option for an external audio source and for pro videographers that's going to be a deal breaker unless you're willing to record audio on a separate device ▶ Pentax K-50 @ 7:08
the video does show some rolling shutter and while the video was sharp it was so sharp I noticed a little bit of moay ▶ Pentax K-50 @ 7:25
there's only a microphone built in you can't connect your own microphone to the device and the built-in microphone is pretty Dreadful so really I wouldn't recommend this for taking video at all unless you're planning to use a different soundtrack ▶ Pentax K-50 DSLR camera review @ 2:47

Image Quality (6)

I saw noise at around 1,600 and I'd probably never shoot Beyond ISO 3200 myself anything above that is pretty darn noisy ▶ Pentax K-50 @ 1:37
softness at the edges of photos shot with the Pentax 18 to 55 millimeter SM CDA kit lens ▶ Pentax K-S2 Hands On Review @ 8:07

the image quality is nearly on par with other 16 megapixel cameras in this class maybe just a little bit noisier ▶ Pentax K-50 @ 1:45
raw images do have to be edited because you can't use most of them straight off the camera they do need a lot of work done to make them look good ▶ Pentax K-50 DSLR camera review @ 5:14
there's some digital noise when you do that and so you'll probably need uh some kind of postprocessing program like adobe's Lightroom or photoshop ▶ Pentax K-50 DSLR camera review @ 4:11

Performance (5)

slight dip in the burst mode framerate ▶ Pentax K-S2 Hands On Review @ 12:58
frame rate is a bit disappointing because it's a half frame slower than the 6 frames per second of the K 50 ▶ Pentax K-S2 Hands On Review @ 1:59
buffer is pretty noumic ▶ Pentax K-S2 Hands On Review @ 2:13
the Pentax has problems like the k50 has this thing called the aperture block where and the camera body solenoid goes and it won't stop down the aperture properly ▶ 3 SHORT VINTAGE ZOOMS: CANON, KIKON, PENTAX @ 8:48
if you're taking especially in burst mode if you take lots of pictures in quick succession after five or maybe six pictures it will have to just pause and then buffer while it writes has to write to this you see so you can't take too many pictures in Burst Mode before it has to just have a couple of seconds just to catch up with itself ▶ Pentax K-50 DSLR camera review @ 1:34
