As a professional photographer, I recently had the chance to try out the Pentax KP digital camera at The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills. During my 24-hour test, I thoroughly explored the camera’s features and capabilities to determine its suitability for different photography needs.
Some quick facts about the Pentax KP: it is a 24-megapixel APS-C Digital SLR camera body with a 1.2x crop factor. It has a 3.5-inch LCD monitor with 1.04 million dots, an ISO range of 100-819,200, a 3.3 frames-per-second burst rate, and an 11-point autofocus system.
My initial impression of the Pentax KP was positive – it is a solid, well-crafted camera that feels great in one’s hands. The autofocus system is impressive, locking onto subjects swiftly and accurately. The camera’s fast burst rate allows capturing split-second actions without issue.
The Pentax KP performs admirably in low-light environments, producing sharp photos with minimal noise, even when pushing the ISO to the extreme end. I particularly like being able to adjust the camera’s settings using the external controls, saving time typically spent navigating the menu.
On the downside, the Pentax KP lacks 4K video recording, which may disappoint some serious videographers. Its battery life is also not the longest, lasting only for around 420 shots per charge.
Overall, the Pentax KP is an excellent camera choice for both amateur and professional photographers, thanks to its array of advanced features.

The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts is another noteworthy feature. This state-of-the-art performing arts center is situated in Beverly Hills and comprises two theaters, a courtyard, terrace, and garden. Architect Zoltan Pali designed the building, which is among the most innovative and exciting cultural destinations in Los Angeles.
To conclude, both the Pentax KP digital camera and The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts were impressive. I enjoyed testing the camera and found it to be an excellent option for photographers, both novice and pro alike.
