Big, expensive DSLR cameras aren’t for everybody, but sometimes you still want to capture the moment with something a little better than your smartphone camera. For those times, there’s the Pentax K-S1. The 20MP stabilized CMOS sensor camera can shoot at up to 5.4 fps, with a 1/6000 second shutter speed, and comes with a 18-55mm lens to give you optimal flexibility when shooting anything from a portrait to a landscape. Best of all, it’s practically pocket sized, making it supremely easy to carry while you’re hiking or traveling.
