By PF Rumors in Pentax Rumors on Aug 20, 2014

General specifications of the Pentax K-S1 have just surfaced: it seems that this upcoming entry-level DSLR will feature a 20-megapixel APS-C sensor, which is a first for Pentax.

Other specifications:

ISO range: 100-51,200

LCD: 3", 921k dots

Shake reduction

1080/30p video with stereo mic

D-Li109 battery (shared with K-r, K-30, K-50, and K-500)

Dimensions: 120 x 92.5 x 69.5mm

Digicame-info reports that the camera will be available in 12 different colors; in this post we show the camera in white and grey.

While the weight of the camera remains unknown, the KS-1's dimensions are very close to those of the Canon SL-1, currently the world's smallest DSLR. It's clear that the Pentax K-S1 is being targeted at two key audiences: users who want a small DSLR, and photographers interested in fashionable cameras.
