Pros: Chromatic Yield, Stabilized Sensor, Ease of Shooting, Ease of Use, Price, Wonderful Photos Even Without PP

Cons: Sometimes uncertain focus

Opinion: I'm not a professional or a photography expert, but I owned Nikon, Olympus, I tried Canon for a long time, I did some Workshops sponsored by well-known brands, then by chance I had my first Pentax a K200 purchased used as a second machine, with two goals and already from there love was born, I then switched to K3 and already it seemed to touch the sky, now I landed at K1 and I finally found my personal camera, perfect for my style, great colors and gorgeous color rendering , to be noted that I do not PP, I do not have the time or the tools. The Pentax K1 is a machine that allows you to take away a shot even in very difficult situations, you can shoot even with times that with other FFs would be impossible and I think it is because of the excellent sensitivity of the sensor associated with the excellent stabilization of the 5-axled machine. Robust and ergonomic in an essential way, lightweight for an FF compared to the competition, easy to use, handy controls for any fast adjustment, great wi-fi without loss of connections and very fast in transfer, excellent gps and compass, a Effective electronic level helps you keep the machine straight, plus it has automatic correction of the pose for the small mistakes that you make in the quick shots. The best effectiveness is obtained from the combination with Pentax 24/70 F2.8 lens, from which I have no longer had any aberrations or distortions, and you make excellent shots even at very slow freehand times that in combination with the systems of the machine produce extraordinary results. The only downside of the 24/70 lens but unavoidable to have a very good quality is the weight. With the K1 you can finally work with F very pushed in all situations or with F very closed for an incredible blurry effect. Working in black and white directly from the machine is a game with extraordinary effects and this feature I have never found in any other machine. Personally I am very satisfied, now I see all my photos all very beautiful. A great Quality-Price compromise. My kit has now been greatly restricted precisely for the effectiveness of the machine, I own a 24/70 F2.8, a 35 F2.0, a 70/200 F2.8 and a very small and light handyman over 30 years 28/105 F4.0. Needless to say, the most used lens is the 24/70 which seems to me even higher than the fixed 35. I wouldn't change this car for anyone else today.

Pros: For my photographic Genre: Dynamic range sensor, stabilized sensor, articulated display, controls, price, price, price....

Cons: Maybe the battery life, but maybe....

Opinion: It is difficult to review a camera, it depends a lot on the use. Those who preceded me in the reviews has certainly made a great contribution with his personal experiences, contribution that I share in full content. I would like to limit myself on the dynamic range of the sensor, to say that it has a really extraordinary level, I come from Canon 5dmkii and Sigma (on the latter you can not make comparisons, other sensor). First I had to resort to Braketing to shoot scenes with strong differences in EV, with K1 has become practically useless to use the braketing (if not in really impossible situations), the recovery of Shadows is extraordinary! Accustomed with Canon I was thrilled in the first shots to see how much I could recover without creating noise or aberrations, unbelievable! I chose the K1 based on the data provided by Dxomark, and indeed I did not wrong, this sensor is really valid, and if we do a value for money is undoubtedly exceptional! It's second only (in landscape rating) to Nikon D850-D810 and Sony A7RIII and little, but they are cameras that cost more than double!! And not to mention that Nikon does not have a stabilized sensor. The ergonomics of this machine is incredible, the controls are perfectly accessible (thanks to the 4 ring nuts) so extraordinary, entering the menu is really useless most of the time, you have everything at your doorstep!! For those who do not shoot in Raw with subsequent PP, there are numerous options for really valid on-camera settings that can make JPEG files of excellent quality and ready for printing. ISO compartment: Exceptional, personally shooting essentially at 100 ISO is a peculiarity that I need to little, for curiosity I run shots at 1200 ISO and printed in A2 format, the quality is really good, even without going through software noise-reduction, to 1600 ISO holds fine prints in A3 format, but frankly use the 1600 ISO with a fast lens type f/2.8 and sensor stabilization enabled I can not think in how many occasions it is necessary, perhaps in interiors for photos of architecture with very low light , if you are without stative.... MHA? Construction: Without compromises, a body definitely Pro-level, the articulated display is also excessive, a masterpiece, even less. I do not want to dwell further (although there would be reason) to list all other must, Astrotracer, Pixel-Shift, WIFi, GPS, dual slot, LED body lighting machine, automatic horizon adjustment, the ability to use all the optics Vintage Pentax such as the A SMC (adjustable diaphragms directly from the camera), M SMC, the gorgeous M42 with Pentax K adapter etc, etc...... In short, I think that there is currently a full frame on the market with a value for money that can rival K1, and I think it will be quite difficult to do better.

Pros: The price

Cons: The Tropicalization

Opinion: The machine is sold for tropicalized. But what does that mean? The machine pays for tropicalized, but Tropicalization is not guaranteed. So if you enter water you arrangi. The Fowa does not repair it under warranty, you have an absurd quote that is higher than the value of the machine and you are forced to carry it in an external laboratory, and you lose the guarantee.

Pros: Image quality, price, stabilization, functionality, double-Slot, handling, size, construction

Cons: Video, Autofocus

Opinion: After 6000 shots we move on to the review. First FF of Pentax and they made a real masterpiece. With a competitive price, they managed to build a handy FF, not big and from the right weight. The image quality and fantastic, 36mpx are perhaps too many, but you can have a great detail. Freehand I never pushed over to 6400 ISO and generally holds it well, but maybe you could do something more. The stabilization helps to avoid wavy shots and the many features are a real gem: ability to save directly RAW in DNG, enter the timer for laying B, GPS, Pixel Shift increases the resolution and detail of images, astrotracer for photos to Starry skies. The construction in magnesium alloy with dust and weather sealing and top class and the monitor with its mechanics exalts it. The better the camera from it on a tripod by snapping landscapes, sunsets, sunrises, long exposures, starry skies; Because the speed of the autofocus is insufficient and very often it snaps without focusing. The videos are enough but it wasn't born for that. Few optics but of excellent construction, quality and price help to have a great shooting experience. Recommended!

Pros: has everything I need

Cons: The weight

Opinion: Photographing by candlelight at night and being able to not throw away even a shot: this is the K1. I bought the silver version with the battery grip taking advantage of a promotion and after a hundred shots I'm still wondering what its limit. The focus that should be a sore note on 100 shots has mistaken 2 or 3, the sensor is a monster of definition, the shooting options are redundant and the physical controls are so many that in combination with customizable keys you do not have almost need To access the menu. Aesthetically the K1 with hooked the battery grip looks like an indestructible Carrarmatino, quite heavy but well balanced when used with two hands, the level of construction is very high and, at least apparently, destined to last for a long time. I'm not going to list the features and functions that are arcinote, the impression on the skin is to have in hand the heir of the analogue LX that worked with the films but it was a concentrate of technology, at the forefront of the times. Good Pentax, also to have retained the compatibility of any lens with PK mount (including the APSC) from the 1970s onwards.

Pros: Image quality, viewfinder, stabilizer, disproportionate amount of functions, dual slot, enhanced flash sync, tiltable LCD, 3 control dial, tropicalization, backward compatibility.

Cons: Connectivity, weight.

Opinion: If I had 2000 euros for a full DSLR frame, I would not find a better proposal than the K-1. A 36-megapixel reflex with 5-stop stabilized sensor, removable LCD screen, built-in GPS, 3rd multi-mode adjustable dial, wifi, dual slot, water and dust resistant, with white balance between the most advanced of the category. To that figure the only beast found on the genus will have written PENTAX on the pentaprism. RnrnTo start, this camera is designed for a relatively dynamic but not explicitly or implicitly sporty use. This immediately explains the burst of 4.4 fps (6.5 fps if used in aps-c crops) and the autofocus module which, although improved compared to the past models (we have 33 AF points, 31 of which is cross) is not a rocket anymore and does not offer multiple body features of 6000 euros, and I would say well. The uses in which K-1 gives the best are presumably landscape, study, portrait, ceremonial, object, astrophotography (so enjoyof the astrotracer that uses GPS and Shake Reduction), naturalistic up to a certain level, and generally photography in adverse weather conditions. rnrnIt can simply use M in controlling the usual triad to set the shutter, or you can decide to dig between its menus and find out the absurd amount of features it has to offer. Many of these features are possible thanks to the stabilizer: pixel-shift, composition adjustment or sensor shift, astrotracer, horizon correction, anti-aliasing simulator. Then we have a first implementation of electronic live view shutter, horizontal-vertical level in the viewfinder (which I use a lot), different grids visible in the viewfinder, bracketing, HDR in the room ... in the latest firmware even a mode Night LCD that will use only red tones in the menus not to disfigure our eyes in the surrounding darkness and disturb the view. And an additional positional mode B where you can choose a range of shots from 1 to 20 minutes.Also the white balance menu, with MultiWB mode already present on the K-3.rnrn. Mostly, the use I use is in studio and portraiture. I use a lot of horizon correction and tethering to my computer, sometimes wifi on smartphones. Here I can talk about a sore point: USB 2.0 connectivity, with 40mb each RAW files, is a bottleneck. You can work the same well in tethering, but from a model released in 2016 I would finally expect to implement a standard that goes back to at least 2009. Even wifi sometimes loses shots on the speed. RnrnIn the ceremonial area we will often find use a flash. I appreciated in this regard the speed of 1/200 "flash sync, which has always been 1/180" on aps-c models. The P-TTL may behave unexpectedly some times and some EV compensation may be necessary for the flash to expose properly. Some argue that it also depends on the flas modelh used, frankly in past models of Pentax cameras I did not notice any differences in behavior between a Metz and a Pentax FGZ.rnrn File processingability is ... wow. On this point I could say thousands of things, but the truth is that you have to try to work on one in postproduction yourself and understand in person what it means to work a photo shot with K-1. 36 megapixels, however, are so many, and you need a computer that does not hurt, especially for those who use Photoshop with many levels or Lightroom with local adjustments. RnrnAppreciate the proverbial retrocompatibility with vintage bayonet optics K and also M42 via adapter ring. This is a bit of a bit of a concern as I try to buy DA and D FA targets, but it's always fine with those who have a vintage kit, especially with the K-1 with which a 50mm back is actually a 50mm. Finally a camera does not perfect, but a camera bomb. At the same expense it is very difficult to find another room that is as complete and well constructed.rn

Pros: image quality, pixel shift, peacking focus, internal stabilization, strength in general.

Cons: upper display a little bit (but there is all that is needed)

Opinion: I was looking for an SLR with a stunning optical quality without having to manage billions of megapixels but not too few, for measuring density is perfetta.rnIn more when you want the most just activate the pixel shift and have the files of 150 MB but with detail from Middle formato.rnVolevo an SLR but I did not abandon the peacking focus that I used with satisfaction in my mirrorless..ed here goes ... we have it! rnAvendo also had the d810 I can say that the quality of image and color management is even better, totally abandons K1 much better manages the greens and noise in general (recovery 4 stops on shadows with a minimum of chroma noise) .rnPer me is a spectacular car, certainly does not have a lightning-fast AF, it does not have many AF points ... but everything works well. is not made for sports or birds even if you can practice! rnBatteria that never ends, spectacular swiveling display, very compact for a camera ... I could say rnPoi Wifi ... gps .... ecc..eccc .. but these things do not use ... but there are!

Pros: GPS, value for money.

Cons: availability objectives, unprofessional menu.

Opinion: I had this machine on loan for one month with the 12-24, I have no clear idea on the lens on the camera body, but yes. The Pentax K-1 is designed for landscape photography and all talk about quality drops when you see the price of both the car body is of the goals. It would be perfect if they had snuffed out the video industry and focused more on objectives, processor and computer industry; however the sensor is great. It would be interesting to produce Pentax lenses with fixed focal length classical, type 16, 24 and 35, targeted at landscape photography. For this purpose you can even sacrificing brightness to focus on the detail and especially the removal of chromatic aberration. In the hands of a good photographer to still exceptional results as evidenced by the underlying image gallery.

Pros:

Cons: In my opinion, only one, but justified by the density of the sensor: better not to exceed 9000 ISO and if you manage to stay below, even better; let's say it would be good not to exceed 6400. On some rare occasions and in special light conditions I happened to have to intervene on the balance of the white that I regularly keep on cars and in almost all cases is fine so.

Opinion: It is never nice, in my opinion, to make comparisons and therefore I will abstain carefully, for reasons that are easily understood; I have landed at Pentax and K1 disappointed by previous experiences, say, and that's fine (I stress: so far and making debts and repeated scongiuri!!!); To this day, I can only be more than satisfied with k1 in all and I emphasize all, the points of view; I use for most of my photos the excellent 28-105 Pentax for FF, which I consider a good goal; also the autofocus sector of the K1, criticized by many (perhaps just by hearsay!) for my needs is absolutely up to its task, both in one shot and continuously and, above all, in LV is reliable and fast, even in low light; even in the use with the flash (I took the Pentax mod. 360) the results are extremely satisfactory and, with fresh batteries, the charging of the flash is of an amazing speed; the machine, of a compactness to which I was absolutely not accustomed, with its not indifferent weight, gives a feeling of robustness very rewarding; I do not go into the merits of tropicalization as I have not yet had the opportunity to test it in difficult conditions, I can only remember that, at the presentation in Fowa, I saw her completely immersed in the water without any problem! The ability to use the lenses for Aps-c is a very important plus: in automatic crop, a wide light frame demarcates the framed field and is very comfortable in use; It may seem counterintuitive to use Aps-c targets on FF but, always in my opinion, so it is not: I use the new 55-300 with the K1 and the yield, as far as I'm concerned, is absolutely more than dignified; you can of course use that lens not in crop and then correct the inevitable PP vignette. In conclusion, I can only be satisfied with the machine and goals and certainly, in time, I will not fail to expand my Pentax kit.

Pros: excellence in sharpness and clarity at low ISO, hardly you see blur thanks to motion correction on 5 axes used freehand, convenient for cutting 1.5 16 mp, quality - unsurpassed price, as light as the K5, up to iSO 3200 without noise problems .i 36 mp available for every need, 147mb of files used with pixel shift.

Cons: a little slow the rapid-fire shots, but I have never used or even for birdlife with sport

Opinion: Contrary to the rumor that sometimes feels that bird does not stand, I do am living proof to the contrary, I agree with what was said in previous reviews and add that now after four months that I use just noticed a difference in the use of free hand it really is difficult to have a photo on the move thanks to 5-axis motion correction, I'm savoring the photos with low iso that seem better than many cameras, if I want to use the pixel shift in motion supported with the objective and how now you know add up 4 shots producing a file of about 145 mb and remarkable sharpness added to the already excellent in the pentax generale.per my part I do not need anything more than this camera, I join with previous opinions from the point of view technical and not being an expert and I can not compare the pentax with other brands by not ever owned .ancora want to clarify that although the continued maf is slower than other brands prefer to lose some photos but keep those successful with single click and with excellent quality & aserious; picture, thanks

Pros: image quality, robustness, stabilized sensor, many useful features, rapport quality / price

Cons: Fund further improved AF in AF-C

Opinion: I'm no reviewer then those that will read are simple impressions of a user of this camera body. For those who already know Pentax building is typical of Pentax top of the range, that is, a body robust machine, designed to withstand even the most severe conditions, heavy tropical conditions. Bodies with this level of robustness in Canon and Nikon are found only in the top gamma.rnLe size bodies are compact enough to be a full-frame, even if the weight is not just a feather (we are around kg.). The viewfinder is large and bright, with 100% coverage of the frame. There are many buttons and dials, with more extensive customization. Organizing the machine according to their needs becomes extremely uncommon to have to then access the individual menù.rnDisponibili dual slot for SD cards, Wi-Fi and integrated GPS. The latter, combined with the stabilized sensor, allows the use of an integrated "ASTROTRACER" function that allows shots up around 5minutes of exposure without ghosting on stelle.rnUna of the functions of this machine body on which much has been said, and also often inappropriately, is the pixel-shift. This function has the aim to give a much more accurate color reproduction. To do this it uses the sensor stabilization technology to take four images where each is moved by 1 pixel sensor to cover the 4 colors that make up each cell of the Bayer filter. In this way the information on the color no longer takes place by interpolation with the neighboring cells but is formed with precision by the acquisition of the color for the four pixels of each cell. This is the reason why the pixel-shift has been implemented. For side effects you are bringing even lower noise and greater richness of detail. But these are precisely side effects and is wrong to confuse them with the purpose for which this function exists. The use of the pixel-shift, to maximize the result, plans to use the FotocamIt was on a tripod and shoot still subjects; where this is not possible the internal sw test machine to process the parts that are "moved" by pulling them from one of individual frames, but the result may not always be satisfactory. In these cases, however, it is strongly recommended that you use to process the sw owner of Pentax, which provides the pixel-shift significantly better results compared to other development software such as LR or C1. Where you can successfully apply the pixel-shift results are notevolissimi.rnIl sensor it is the excellent 36-megapixel Sony origin without AA filter in a revised and updated version for Pentax, and is an excellent sensor as both resolution and as a dynamic range. Even in my opinion the noise is more than satisfactory and there are no problems shooting in low light situations. Still subjects of further help to contain the blur comes stabilizer 5 next generation axes, very efficace.rnLa Investments valued myion segment AF inevitably affected the use that I do; no extreme sports photographer will birdlife, so I find the more than satisfactory AF. In AF-S it is fast, responsive and precise, even in low light; AF-C for subjects in normal movement, tiny animals like birds and erratic, it seems to me that he did not notice male.rnUltima cable, the newly developed swivel LCD monitor, which can be tilted to achieve the desired angle horizontally , vertically or diagonally in one motion and without the center of the monitor is too decentralized to the optical axis of the objective to facilitate the positioning of the camera than desired into the scene, both when shooting freehand on tripods . I personally found it very utile.rnPer those old optical Pentax here manuals will return to use them with satisfaction, given that the attack Pentax has always remained the same and the camera body still provides confirmation reached set-outdooco also with manual lenses (which obviously become stabilized due to the stabilization on the sensor) .rnLa my overall rating is therefore very positive, it is a machine body with professional features at an extremely price competitivo.rn

Pros: THE QUEEN OF THE NIGHT possesses all the features most recent in the field of photography, such as the star-tracer, for example, in addition to wi-fi and gps; the articulated screen in all directions is a remarkable plus; exceptional stabilization that allows you to take freehand with ridiculous times and with any lens, including fixed large-aperture, using them and being able to photograph with long times are obtained nocturnal images crazy; held at high ISO to the highest levels; pixel shift improved compared to that of the K-3 II, although still far from having an effective utility apart from that for the subjects perfectly still; sharpness of the file to high ISO low (does not have the AA filter, however simulated); impressive dynamic range, which comes in 17 eye stop in pixelshift mode and between 14.5 and 15 in normal mode (update: Doxmark found 14.6 stop); price.

Cons: The autofocus module, which does not seem to be quick and accurate as that of the best competition, also because it has too sensitive points clustered in the center; video industry just enough. I see no other defects.

Opinion: DOXMARK put it just behind the Nikon d810, Pentax and veduta.rnrnParlando reason, in the past I had the K-5. Compared to that, this weighs a 200 gr in addition, to the eye, and it is very slightly larger, and therefore not in the slaughter carry it around, while revealing a remarkable building solidity. The sensor is exalted: the latest generation of Sony, run by a muscle CPU, and the yield at high iso is just barely below that of D810A (even comparing to the naked eye RAW), which is widely regarded as the best among the ultradensi cameras with sensors as regards the cleaning to iso high. It follows that even surpasses that of the D800 'smooth' where I come from. Despite the 36 MP, STABILIZATION 5 AXIS ALLOWS TO AVOID shake-IN MANY CASES; and in the recovery of static subjects in critical light conditions you can take freehand with long residence times, avoiding to raise the iso and then gaining in cleaning the image. This in my opinion is theperfect machine to take pictures at night, especially free hand, because of the combination of excellent stability and cleanliness at high ISO. Apart from the huge advantage for those who do astrophotography, to take advantage of the movement in combination with the built-in GPS sensor to follow the stars, 'IN PRACTICE THE QUEEN OF THE NIGHT STREET, when you mount the tripod is not desirable ... Consider that machines top from 5000 € Canon and Nikon have less dense sensors and therefore (theoretically) the cleanest, but they can not count on stabilization at 5 axes in that mount objectives: this means that if with competitors in a typical situation night photos can not fall below 1/30 sec., although with the lens stabilizer, with K-1 can get to 1/20 or even 1/15, which means maybe go from 12800 to 6400 or 4000. not to mention that fixed focal aperture lenses stabilized still do not exist, while the Pentax I stabilizing 5-axis even using a 50 mm 1.4 ... Do you. IN THIS REGARD TO AN IMPORTANT NOTE: The native software per PC, ie the SILKYPIX, as often happens with the supplied data programs does not shine for developing capabilities and sharpness of the picture, but I've never seen a software capable to the point of demosaicizzare s at high iso file without coming out noise. The machine itself is a little noisy, but it is amazing to take iso 6400 and, while setting the noise reduction parameters to zero, having really straining for noticing the slightest trace. And the preservation of colorful details in 'extreme' situations is record-breaking. Using the other hand, for example, Lightroom, and bringing the NR to zero, a minimum of noise is known, although very little by little, so that also prints on A3 up to ISO 6400 would be unnoticeable in my opinion. Another advantage about the sheer quality of the file, together with the low noise at ISO higher, AND 'THE SHARPNESS A ISO BASS: to ISO 100 you have an ability to capture absolutely incomparable details: working in RAW with LR performance in this regard are incredible and really allow, andnot to pretend like when sometimes tells of some machines "miraculous" to crop pushed maintaining a high quality ... And consider that I am using a 50 mm 1.4, hardly a champion Pentax home and at risolvenza. At these levels of quality, the result with prints made on paper 'as it should' is certainly monstrous. The exposure latitude, then it is even absurd. DR OBTAINED WITH THIS CAR IS 'SIMPLY TO SCREAM. With the default settings often tends to overexpose with photos made with a lot of light, so you find yourself thinking that the high lights tend to suffer burning them too often. In fact, once configured and understand the metering modes to use depending on the scene, the results are incredible. We do not know how but Pentax have even managed to overcome the D800. I come from that then the comparison I have beautiful light. There you can safely indulge in underexposed photograph, even a lot ... This will preserve the highlights and shadows becomesno black, but ... Do not worry! The K-1 is able to recover so unthinkable. You can lift the dark area of ??2,3,4-stop and still not notice appreciable noise ... Bellissimo.rnrnIL PIXEL SHIFT AND 'DIFFERENT FROM PREVIOUS CAR PENTAX: when the camera takes 4 photos and puts them together, the soft internal detects image areas that do not match perfectly together and makes us a 'piece' reconstructing by interpolation. In any case, in order to obtain the promised results, namely a drastic reduction of noise compared to the normal shooting (and an increase in the DR of at least two other stop, for a latitude of it poses that at that point is estimated at approximately 17 stop ...! !!!!), it is still necessary to rely on the tripod, clearly beyond the shutter remotely, also because it is evident that the management of the machine jpeg obtained with quadruple shots is still little mature and some times the mechanism of recombination of the 4 images fails to superimpose well, even with minimal displacements during the shots, generating artifacts wellvisible. It 'clear that if the pixelshift technology still needs a perfect stillness of the machine is that of the subject to function, is an unnecessary technology and looks more like a gem sciapa that serves as a mirror for larks; in fact, the same result would be obtained at that point by recombining 4 common shots in succession, made with 'common' cameras, and then reworking to a PC with appropriate software. It is hoped that this is due to the internal software still imperfect, which would also be demonstrated by some bugs found during the use of the ring 'SmartWheel' ... rnIL FORM AUTO FOCUS is given to get to -3 ev, however, to almost dark wavers a bit ', although it must be said that I have used so far only the Pentax FA 50 mm 1.4 which is known to not be good to cooperate with the AF of the machines which it is connected (in addition to the fact that it is slow as a sloth early morning and noisy to suck) ... In any case there is always the auxiliary illuminator.In any case, there remains the feeling that is confirmed with the K-1 Pentax the long-standing problem in not being able to match the top competitors as regards the autofocus. In fact, even in situations with a lot of light in the form shows a certain indecision nell'agganciare the subject when the same has particular purposes which, by its shape or color, put the whip ... When the phase detection, in the same situations, Canon and especially Nikon go without fail. Chasing moving subjects, the music does not change, there is a certain difficulty to engage them and keep them in focus, also because of too dots clustered in the center. And in birds, for example, it is certainly not helped by 4 shots per second burst ... In short, I've owned machines Nikon, Canon, Pentax and Fujifilm and I can say that so far, the level of the first two it is unsurpassed. We only hope that on this occasion we can improve even with a future firmware. rnrnI JPEG MADE MACHINE look very good: not to the level ofThe Canon 6D (who had know what I mean ...) or a Nikon 810A, but still among the best I've seen: the mixed effect becomes boring only by 3200 up, diciamo.rnIL FUND AND VIDEO ', AS USUAL iN PENTAX, UN PO' snubbed: we are at 1920 x 1080 30 fps the P and 60 at most. It was claimed the 4k, but the full hd yes to at least 60 fps progressive. Personally, I do not give a damn to do video, but if you are interested, well, we Scarsini. The good news is that relying on the stabilizer 5 to the video axes are also moved little freehand, and especially the rolling shutter is well final neutralizzato.rnIn is a machine to be considered certainly PRO-level; the shutter speed up to 1/8000, is fully customizable, and has dual slot, it is obviously tropicalized in a workmanlike manner as Pentax tradition, and has a shutter tested for 300,000 cycles. The autofocus can be improved, especially in tracking moving subjects, and K-1 and non &serious; fast continuous shooting at, but it must be said that none of the 36 MP camera is less than a mirrorless and therefore can rely on the electronic shutter. with savings in every way cropping APSC (MP 15) comes to 6.5 FPS ... Anyway NOT 'a machine designed for dynamic genres and if your industry is no better, even in APSC at that point, the pennies. If your bread is more 'static', like mine, that street (even at night), portraits, landscapes, this is a car to be taken immediately, by virtue of impressive performances in critical light conditions and even more crazy yield in terms of dynamic range. I have paid 1999 euro as the official price in the store, but there is including the 4 year warranty Fowa; Otherwise it can be found on the euro in 1800, which means many pennies cheaper than virtually all the other cameras of the same range, even those with projects that start to be dated...rnrn
