Originally posted by tuco I'm surprised you want the K-1, Norm. Years ago when things like the D600 came out you were so vocal that the full 35mm frame coverage was not needed for your photography.
As I've often said, it's not. I don't expect this camera would be used for even 20% of my shooting, and won't be necessary for even 5% of what I do. If my K-3 were to break before I get a K-1, another K-3 will come first. APS-c I have to have, FF is nice to have. Nothing has changed. And I still wouldn't buy a D600. Carrying a whole second camera system for a bit of extra low light performance and losing the 1.5 crop factor on the lenses, magnification of macros and frame rate and SR? It's a piece of junk compared to a K-3. An absolute piece of doo doo compared to a K-1. I poo poo that camera.
Before I bought my K-3 I had a D600 with an 85 ƒ1.4 in my hands and messed around with it for a bit. Due diligence and all. Then I ordered my K-3.
