Using my K-1 (+43mm/f.9) for about a month so far, and almost totally happy - best stills camera I've used. Almost, but one thing: the quality of its video.
One common thread I see in reviews and discussions about K-1 is the forgiving/condescending attitude to it's video quality: "OK it's really a stills-oriented camera so we just won't talk seriously about it". I find it very unconvincing: as I see it, video quality is perhaps the only thing that makes the difference between being a "good camera" and "great camera" for K-1. And video in K-1 is really a bad, noisy/blurry thing that anyone who saw what other cameras of this calibre do will not want to look at.
In fact, the discrepancy between the quality and thoughtfulness of literally everything in this camera and its video quality makes me suspect that this all is the result of a conscious decision by K-1 designers to intentionally keep the video quality low. I just can't see how else in such a big and long project there was no room for an imaging engineer who'd bring the video quality to its today's standard. But in the life of me I can't see the logic of such a decision.
Does anyone have any ideas or knowledge on the subject?

Sorry, it's K-1, I didn't mention, and the lens is 43mm of course.
SR is off... But if it was on, is it operating when shooting stills?

At 1/500 what else can you blame?

Hello
I'm with 44mm/f1.9 Limited.
I am experiencing a strange inconsistency in sharpness of photos taken at identical exposure settings and shooting conditions. One image can be super sharp (the lens is truly superb), another right after - not so much.
I am not sure what to attribute this to - lens, camera or both. Is anyone experiencing anything similar?
Thanks
