The Pentak K-S1 is a DSLR camera with a difference. The stand-out feature of this 20 megapixel camera is its illumination interface and the fact that LED lights are built into the camera's body to indicate its operational status. The lights also count down for self-timer shots and show the number of faces identified in a shot.

Aside from the futuristic embedded lights, the Pentak K-S1 also has some pretty legit photographic specs. It is equipped with a [20 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony-lytia-901) paired with a Prime M II image processor. It has an [ISO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/safet-range) range of 100 to 51,200, meaning it can be used in [low-light conditions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony-a1-ii). It also has a continuous shooting top speed of 5.4 frames per second.
