23 Pentax K-S2

The K-S2 is my budget-friendly pick here because it still feels like a real Pentax: sharp output, stabilization, and practical features. You’re getting a 20.1MP APS-C sensor with no low-pass filter, ISO up to 51,200, in-body image stabilization, plus Wi‑Fi and NFC for remote control and sharing.

Pros

+20.1MP APS-C sensor with no low-pass filter for sharper images
+In-body image stabilization at a budget price
+Anti-aliasing simulator to reduce moiré when needed
+Built-in Wi‑Fi and NFC plus Full HD video support

Cons

-Not positioned as a flagship body for AF speed or burst performance
-Full HD video only (no 4K mentioned for this model)
