More K-50 Full Samples (Unofficial)

Here, at the Digital Camera Review:-

Click on the images and download the full original images, which were produced directly out of the K-50 without any modification.

As before, I don't like the colour response by the way. All Prime M bodies, including the K-01, K-30 and now the K-50/500 do have a strong magenta cast like that, making images look unnatural and skin tones look especially awful, which is just awkward enough after all! >:-(

Besides, all the images were underexposed somehow and they look a bit dark, which is not normal for those kinds of subjects that are already with a mid-tone reflectance, IMHO.

N.B. The official sample images of the K-50 are NOT yet available at Pentax.jp.

Didn't the K-01 have the same sensor as the K5 ? So the magenta cast you percieved probably might exist with the K30 and K50, but as it is not with the K-5, it also shouldn't be there with the K-01.
Apart from this, the pentax kitzoom 18-55 was, a few years ago, considered to be one of the best kitzooms on the market. Apparently, though too severe cost-cutting and lack of QC, it has lost its good name. I had four copies, and the differences between them were rather high.

The K-01/K-30/50/500 and the K-5s each uses a slightly different sensor.
