The Pentax K-S2 D-SLR packs a lot of features into its weather-sealed body, but its burst shooting capability is very limited and its companion Wi-Fi app needs some work.

The Pentax K-S2 has a solid array of accompanying features that are in contrast to the lightweight extras we saw in the K-S1. On the predictable side, there’s Wi-Fi and NFC. These will enable you to hook up the KS-2  to a mobile device easily – especially if it, too, is NFC-enabled.
