The Pentax Optio S50 is a digital compact camera announced by Pentax on August 16, 2004. It contains an early example of a selective colour filter.
The Pentax K-x is a 12.4 megapixel digital single-lens reflex camera, announced on September 16, 2009. Pentax K-x uses an Exmor, Sony-made sensor. In some cases it even approaches the quality produced by full-frame DSLRs like the Nikon D700 and the Canon 5DMkII, both with larger sensors. The Pentax K-x is suitable for low light conditions for both still and video photography.
The Pentax 645D is a medium format digital SLR camera announced by Pentax on March 10, 2010.
Pentax K-01 is a mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera announced in February 2012. It uses the Pentax K mount.
The Pentax K-5 II is a 16.3-megapixel digital single-lens reflex camera, successor to the Pentax K-5, sharing its body shape with its two predecessors including the Pentax K-7, and making incremental improvements on the K-5. The Pentax K-5 II is available in two versions, the basic Pentax K-5 II as well as the Pentax K-5 IIs which omits the traditional low pass filter for greater sharpness but potentially greater moiré.
The Pentax Q7 is a compact digital mirrorless interchangeable lens camera announced by Pentax on June 12, 2013. While the camera has a larger sensor than its predecessors, the Q and Q10, it is compatible with existing Q series lenses.
The Pentax K-3 is a 24-megapixel Pentax high-end digital single-lens reflex camera with an APS-C sensor, announced on 7 October 2013. The Pentax K-3 is the successor to both the K-5 II and K-5 IIs models, which have a 16-megapixel sensor. The K-5 II had an optical low pass filter or anti-aliasing (AA) filter that can prevent the appearance of moire patterning on the captured image. This filter reduces the sharpness of the image, so Pentax also produced the K-5 IIs which omitted this filter. In the K-3, Pentax obviated the need for providing two separate models by including a selectable AA filter "simulator". This mechanism vibrates the sensor when switched on, slightly blurring the image in a way that replaces the function of the optical AA filter, providing the same benefit as the filter in the K-5 II and other cameras with an optical AA filter. When the AA simulator is disabled, the sensor records a sharper image, as in the K-5 IIs.
The Pentax Q-S1 is a compact digital mirrorless interchangeable lens camera announced by Ricoh under the Pentax brand on August 4, 2014. It replaces the Pentax Q7, and is part of Pentax' Q system, the most compact digital interchangeable lens camera system as of September 2014, with crop factors ranging from 4.6 to 5.6.
The Pentax MX-1 is a digital compact camera announced on January 7, 2013.

The Pentax XG-1 is a DSLR-like ultrazoom bridge camera announced by Pentax on July 15, 2014. At the time of its release, it had the third longest reach of any compact camera, with a maximum of 1248mm equivalent focal length, after the Nikon Coolpix P600 at 1440mm, and the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H400 at 1550mm, both announced in February of the same year. A fourth camera, the Kodak Pixpro Astro Zoom AZ651, announced in January with a maximum focal length of 1560mm, has yet to make it to market, as of February 2015.
The Ricoh WG-4 is a digital compact camera announced by Ricoh on February 5, 2014, successor to the Pentax WG-3. It is advertised as water-proof to 14m, shock-proof to drops from up to a 2m height, crush-proof to 220 pounds of force and freeze-proof to -10 degrees Celsius.
The Ricoh WG-20 is a digital compact camera announced by Ricoh on February 5, 2014. It replaces the Pentax WG-10 and is rated as "waterproof to 33 feet, shockproof from drops of up to five feet, coldproof to 14 degrees Fahrenheit and crushproof, withstanding up to 220 foot-pounds of force" by its manufacturer.
The Pentax X90 is a superzoom bridge camera announced by Pentax on February 24, 2010.
The Pentax Optio E60 is a digital compact camera announced by Pentax on July 31, 2008. It uses AA batteries and therefore does not depend on a proprietary charger.
The Pentax Optio H90 is a digital compact camera announced by Pentax on January 25, 2010. It was launched under a new "functional beauty" design paradigm and was described as exhibiting "pleasant minimalism". It is compatible with Eye-Fi wireless SD cards and supports 720p video.
The Pentax smc DA 21mm F3.2 AL Limited is a moderate wide angle lens announced by Pentax on February 13, 2006. It is one of the five very compact "Limited" prime lenses for APS-C format cameras. Like its siblings, it was replaced in 2013 with a version that is HD-coated and has rounded aperture blades.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1R II is a digital compact camera with a full frame sensor, announced by Sony on October 14, 2015. It is the first camera in mass production featuring a continuously variable optical low pass filter. In contrast with conceptually related technology debuted in the Pentax K-3 and subsequently carried by other Pentax models, Sony's technology works at any shutter speed.
The Pentax K-70 is a 24 megapixel compact APS-C digital SLR camera announced by Ricoh on June 8, 2016. In contrast to the previously introduced APS-C flagship K-3 II, it includes a flash, flip-out display and built-in WiFi. In common with that camera, the K-70 is capable of Pixel Shift Resolution images, which provide higher colour resolution and require the camera to be stationary. It is the first Pentax camera to also include on-sensor PDAF elements that support hybrid autofocus, enabling continuous autofocus during video capture.
