It's not hybrid system. All Pentax DSLR use phase focus system, but in LiveView mode use contrast focus system. This two methods not use simultyniously
How is this an "entry level" DSLR? Because it's not a Nikon or Canon??? Why spend $1,200 on a Canon 7D then have to spend another $1,000 (AT LEAST) to get a decent lens for it, when you can get better photos with the Pentax K5II and the kit lens???
Hey @facebook-1072614052:disqus, we are working to fix this error, but it is not an easy thing to fix. Our website currently only allows one type of focus system, these new hybrid systems require a rewrite of our system, which is a big job. It is on our to do list. Thanks for your feedback.
These are the correct specs for the Pentax K-5 II and K-5 IIs AUTOFOCUS SYSTEM Type Phase detection Focus points 11 Cross type focus points 9 Supports continuous yes
Could you do something about your error claiming the pentax k-5 II and K-5 IIs don't have phase detection autofocus. First it should be a big hint that they are dslrs and not mirrorless cameras. Every other reviewer says they have phase detection autofocus, and pentax's tech specs also says this.
The K-5 II should be placed into the "Professional DSLR" category ... And whats with the contrast detection AF here? It has phase-match sensors (9 are cross-type) and the maximum burst rate is closer to 8fps ... 7.6fps if you want to get specific.
both the k5 ii and k5IIs have phase detection and they have contrast detection for live view and to assist phase detect in custom area focus the k30 has this to. Could you fix this mistake, pentax should not have listed contrast focus first. It Does have phase detection.
