Pentax K1 review 36.2 MP camera
Pentaxians, your wait is finally at its end! After years of rumors, Ricoh has answered the pleas of its customers and brought its K-series DSLR lineup into a new era with the Pentax K-1, its first full-frame digital camera. Bridging the gap between its epic medium-format cameras and its affordable APS-C DSLRs, the K-1 is one very impressive full-frame camera indeed and it ships at a pricetag that should be easy for many to justify!
The Pentax K1 is a full frame DSLR camera by Richo Imaging. The camera was officially announced on February 5, 2016, launched on February 17, 2016.
The Pentax K1 is the first production Pentax full-frame DSLR camera. As the flagship model of the Pentax K-mount system, it includes several new and improved features, including a five-axis SR II in-body image stabilization system, improved autofocus and metering systems and other great features.
The thumb rest on the top right rear corner of the camera is nicely curved, and sticks out enough to contribute to what is, overall, a very secure-feeling grip on the body.
It’s a bit tricky to describe, but certainly provides a much wider range of motion than competing designs. Check gadgets-review for more
