Originally posted by raider In terms of size, the K-1 is also slightly bigger than 5D3 and a fair bit bigger than 6D too...also weigh 300g more than 6D and like 60g more than 5D3. Any idea why the K-1 has a heavier body?
Uh... No.
The two Canon's are significantly larger than the K1. The Pentax is heavier because it has a metal frame, IBIS, GPS, WiFi, weather sealing, and a pivoting LCD, all of which are lacking on the Canons. I've always thought that Canon cameras felt like cheap plastic cameras - but that is just me.
Try comparing to the D800 or D810 Nikon size wise - that is a real eye opener.
The K1 appears to be the smallest Full Frame DSLR on the market.
