Originally posted by fwbigd Sold my Sony A7Rii after a mere 891 shutter actuation, because of the electronic viewfinder. In my opinion the electronic viewfinder cannot keep up with continues fast action shooting and studio work. If you want to chimp after ever shot the Sony is fine. The battery life on the A7RII is very short. There is not a great deal of difference in the weight of the cameras once you attach the lens to the camera especially with the new G Master lens. The interface on the Sony is not intuitive as it is on the K-1...to many function in hard to understand menus. The image quality of the Sony is outstanding...no question about that.
There are complaints about the repair of all brand of cameras. Sony being one of the worst...watch Matt Granger's video

To sum it up, I would rate the K-1 as the best camera I have ever shot with bar none.
Thank you fwbigd for your reply. It really is the kind of hands on experience I was looking for and very close to my line of thinking.
Hope you don't mind couple of additional questionsIs your short trial of the A7r2 the sole experience with mirrorless? I suspect it was more difficult for you to get used to the electronic VF that coming back to OVF. Am I right? From your perspective, which Pentax primes has equall quality to SOny GM?

Thank you mcgegni, clackers and MarkJerling.
I think my question about service was not the brightest. As you have stated, I can either not buy the camera if there is no service or buy it and take the risk. I know its naive on my part to look for replies like "I had no problem" with hope same will be with me. Though you didn't state so but I did get the picture. Thanks.
