******** One month update! ****************
I've gotten quite used to the "large" grip, the controls and the handling in general, of the KP. Although limited in motion, the "flippy screen" is something I find myself using more and more.
I CAN confirm that the battery level graphic DOES lie! It depends on what you are doing of course; live view in particular can quickly get the camera to reveal it's true battery level, but otherwise it's something like a fuel gauge on a vehicle that always reads "Full" until it's well below half and then it may still bounce back up to "full" again on the next restart. Buy some spare batteries and always carry at least one of them with you!

This is my first day with the KP and I wanted to post my initial thoughts. If I have other things to add after owning it awhile, I'll come back and update this review.
To qualify, I've been a hobby photographer for about 30 years and got my first "real camera", the K10D, in about 2007(?), which was my entry into Pentax DSLRs. Since then I've also owned the K20D, K3, K3ii, K1, K1ii, and the K70. I liked the full frame bodies, and enjoyed having so many extra pixels to throw away on crops, but the price of quality full frame glass wasn't something I could justify for the sort of shooting I do, so I sold it all and kept my K3 kit. I bought the KP on sale... |
