Camera Store video test of K-1

lesmore49 · 05-25-2016, 08:03 AM

Very good Pentax K-1 review, from The Camera Store in Calgary. Their tests are very thorough and well done, in my humble opinion. I wish they had a store branch in my burg.

LMAO at the lead-in warning. They must know we're watching.

To be fair, most of the criticisms they had are either YMMV things or ones we freely admit to (video not being a strong suit). The only thing I'd really take issue with is the comment about abandoning small size; we know they did everything they could to make it as small as possible. If you're going to make it smaller than this, something has to come out. Who would be prepared to lose shake reduction, the GPS and the flippy screen?

Don't watch this video if you might like the camera but don't have the money. This video will only make the hurting worse.
