Some customer reviews of Pentax K-r with 18-55mm lens
Most helpful reviewsRon, Orpington Keen amateur
- Good points:
- Easy to use (but I am still working out some of the digital extras); excellent optics; lightweight; I can use my Pentax K-A lenses with it; so far the video is excellent (didn't buy it for that); good low light shooting. All-in-all I'm well pleased with it.
- Bad points:
- Close-ups using the the macro could be tighter, but to be fair, the enlargements are excellent. I can't understand why the manufacturers don't include a camera bag as standard.

Robert, Northampton Experienced amateur
- Good points:
- Purchased to replace my K1000. The extra lenses will fit and work manually. Excellant backwards compatability. My interim camera was an Olympus mu. SLR's are much easier to use. I welcome the format back to me.

Jo, Penzance Keen amateur
- Good points:
- Fast auto focus. Great low light quality. Good quality images.
- Bad points:
- Extremely low battery life and replacement battery expensive. AA battery converter should come as standard. £30 seems like a bit of a rip off for such a simple bit of kit.
