With the new Pentax K-1 full frame camera now in the fray, Ricoh has dropped back down the the APS-C market with the new and affordable Pentax K-70.
While only running $650-ish for the body, the camera offers a very solid feature set, including a weather-sealed body, built-in WiFi and and sensor-based shake reduction.
The camera uses an 11-point AF system with 9 cross-type sensors and captures 24MP images with its APS-C CMOS sensor as well as 1080p HD video.
