Without doubt the best video I've ever seen on how to use the K-70! I wish this had been around when I bought mine 3 years ago.

[motorradmike]

After watching your video, I dragged my K70 out after 5 years of non use. Thank you for your terrific overview of the myriad of functions available on thIs amazing DSLR.

[rascalhusky]

You did a great job, educational and interesting 👍.

[paulseager]

Awesome overview. Gotta be honest, I have never explored that deeply in the settings. I'm so pleased I bought this camera and watched this vid. 🙂

[perfectstorm]

This guy just knows how to explain things without waffle…brilliant review! NOTE: So this is an entry level camera? - YOU COULD HAVE FOOLED ME!

[clarkejones]

Excellent. Comprehensive. Clearly explained and with a well judged pace of delivery. It was valuble to hear some of your personal configuration choices.
Thank you

[robfractal]

Excellent indepth video. Thanks I bought the K-70 a few years ago and enjoy using it as my main camera. It's a great camera with lots of settings that take awhile to learn so your video hits all the right buttons. Cheers!

[alistairbell]

Superb...I now have a KF. I will be using this video often.

[speedythecat]

Very well done! Nice little camera jam packed with features like ibis, focus peaking, and astrophotography. Think I'll have to pick this one up, just on the strength of this video! Much appreciated!

[Michael-wqd]

Wow. Lots of info, thanks. For me it needs to be in a book. Too much to absorb and remember. Thanks again.

[SUPERSS]

Awesome video and i just bought the Pentax K-70.. Thank you again...

[itsfahys]

Excellent Instruction on the features of the D-70

[LeeIveson]

Handy guide, easy to follow, great job 👍

[sdhute]

Great content I went from mirrorless to the k70. There is alot of features in this camera

[ditto]

This is a really good informative video. This looks like a really good camera at a really good price.

Whosoever put this recommendation on Pentax tips is a genius, so next the KP, and then the Pentax K 3 mk3 come on guys this brand has more than earned it. From a MG film camera to a digital KP this brand does not follow, but as always it innovates 👍.

[paulbroderick]

Very comprehensive. Concerning F stops and shutter speed settings are these readable through the viewfinder or off the LCD screen? Thank you. Thinking about a purchase.

Very informative and helpful video about K70.
I would like to find optimal settings for portrait photography, because I personally cannot manage to adjust those parameters

One information missing at the beginning: colour depth this camera's saving files in - just like weather sealing - a feature of a professional camera in a cheap popular workhorse :-)
