Pentax 6mp Digital SLR hands-on: Digital Photography Review

That's 5478 effing days they could have been working on the K-1. So it MUST be the best camera ever, for an indefinite period of time in the future. :P

really hope so. But I hope it will not be a best camera as it will demand much cash$$$$$ but a well balanced FF camera like D750..

Uhh, could you provide a source for this date, Zygonyx?

**Deimos** · 01-23-2016, 05:43 AM

On the other site it has been indicated by two posters (and "confirmed" by asahi man) the following:

-Improved 36MP sensor from D810 (better DR)
-Possible new feature to improve and expand edges of some slightly less than FF APS-C lenses
-Price: 1999-2300 Euro

Doesn't matter, as long as it is official it's all good.

My target price is 2100€ (about 20000 sek) if they manage to match that, than I'm an early adopter.

Very confusing. ........How many days is that now for us waiting?

It seems to me the pixel-shift mode could be used without tripod. Chinese site said about it.

Probably a chat with Richard Studient, the guy who runs the Pentax store in Paris. Zygonyx is well known there and Richard is quite talkative.

No, same as the K3II, but still the IQ will be brilliant.

I heard €1,999-2,199 at the beginning of December, with the possibility for the price expressed in Euro to go slightly up if the Euro were to keep on falling against the US dollar:
