Best Pentax K-70 Bundles and Deals

by Nick Voorhees on January 15, 2017

The Pentax K-70 is an affordable, advanced APS-C DSLR camera.

It’s got a 24 megapixel sensor, built-in Image Stabilization and ISO that expands up to 204,800. For the price, it’s an amazing camera.

Unfortunately, all of the bundles we found were either more expensive than buying the items separately and/or completely rubbish. We’re talking over $100 more expensive!

Read this before buying any camera bundle:

  • Most bundles only look good because they come with a ton of items. The majority won’t work, or are useless.
  • You may see something like “5 extra lenses”, when in reality those 5 lenses are nothing but cheap close-up filters.

These are common tricks. As a beginner you probably think you’re getting a great deal and many stores that make them know that.

Don’t just buy any bundle that looks awesome at first, you might actually be paying more than you would buying the items separately.

This is why we wrote this guide, to filter out the bad deals and save you the trouble.

We checked out everything available, and found out that only the official bundle is good.

Pentax K-70 – Bundle 1

What’s included:

  • Pentax K-70
  • Pentax DA 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 ED AL DC WR
  • See everything here

What we like: The 18-135mm alone costs around $360 and is a great kit/all-around zoom lens for the K-70. Just like the camera, it’s weather resistant (WR in the name states that).

What we don’t like: /

This is the official Pentax bundle that every camera manufacturer has. You can either get the DSLR body or with the recommended, affordable kit zoom. As we said above, no other bundle or deal was worth the money so you’re better of buying accessories when needed.

You can buy it at Amazon or see more reviews here.

What Type of Accessories To Look For?

Lenses. You can either get the DSLR body only, or buy it with a kit lens if you want to have an all-around zoom. However, do remember that lenses are much important than the camera you use, so after getting the Pentax K-70, invest in good lenses!

Memory Cards. The K-70 has a 24 megapixel APS-C sensor. We recommend a minimum of 16GB, but 32GB – 64GB is the sweet spot (don’t risk all of your shots one 1 card in case it fails). Our favorite SDHC memory card is the SanDisk 64GB 95MB/s for less than $40, but the ones included are even faster.

Tripods. Most tripods in bundles are straight garbage. They might look cool and all, but they’re not sturdy for a DSLR with a lens. Technically speaking they are, but you’re constantly risking your entire gear, especially if shooting outside in wind.

Bags. A free bag is always good to have. Sometimes you want something that can carry it all, but other times you just want something that’s super small and light. Whatever you get is perfectly fine.

Cleaning kits. Having cloths, air blowers and cleaning kits is always a big plus. Just blow some air onto the front lens element instead of touching it with your fingers (not recommended).

Flash. So far, we haven’t seen a flash in any camera bundle that we’d like, which is a bit disappointing.

We have a page dedicated to best bundles for almost all cameras -> check it out here.
