PENTAX - K-S1 Black
Some interesting things to note here.
The K-S1 inherits the AA filter simulator from the K-3, and it looks like it has the more advanced version of Pentax's SR system, with rotational horizon correction and ultrasonic Dust Removal.
There's also a new PRIME MII processor on board, and a new 20 MP sensor with sensitivity up to ISO 51200. The interface font is new as well, with a fresh look and feel. Continuous shooting speed is given as 5.4 fps, down from 6.0 fps, perhaps due to the higher-resolution sensor. Construction is the usual fiber-reinforced polymer on stainless steel subframe design, with
Tom's Guide noting good build quality.
However, perhaps the most interesting thing to note is that
the pentaprism is specified for 0.95x magnification. This would mean that the K-S1 has the excellent, large viewfinder of the K-3. This caught me totally flat-footed and is absolutely unexpected in an entry-level DSLR.
