Originally posted by SelrahCharleS For landscapes specifically I think the K-1 still compares nicely. Pretty much all the ergonomic points they touched on I would give the K-1 the win still. It's lower resolution, but looking on DPReviews Exposure Latitude comparison tool it looks like it does very well in that respect.
Conclusion? I'm glad I bought a K-1 recently
Personally I dislike a fully articulating screen and prefer the simple tilt screens. However the k-1 screen is a real hybrid of these and adds flexibility without being cumbersome. So on that point the k-1 wins.
Lcd resolution? Nikon probably still wins the category.
EVF… well this one gets weird. The optical viewfinder is very detailed but you can’t get exposure preview and you can’t magnify your image for fine focus and might need to use the back lcd. Sony probably wins this if EVF is acceptable - some people won’t be willing to use ovf, some won’t use EVF. Tie.
Dynamic range? The cameras are quite similar, The k1 on photos to photos lags the Nikon and Sony by 0.2 stops. The k1ii is equal to both roughly. Both Pentax and Sony exceed the Nikon at iso 100. The Pentax k1ii starts to pull away around iso 650 due to the accelerator. Photos to photos numbers don’t show any advantage to your Nikon over Sony and little between any of these cameras. Tie.
Weight. The 15-30 plus k1 is the heaviest. In their criteria that’s not going to win, but heavier potentially means more stability. This category seems lame it has more meaning in action or travel photography.
Lens choice, like Nikon, pretty small variety in the wide angle pro zooms. Winner Sony by their criteria. Tough call however given the variety of lenses you can use.
In the end I’d say that it is a wash. Any of these will take fine photos.
