I worked for many years in the extreme high end audio industry for an American audio conglomerate that is the corporate parent for a number of name brands. I know from experience how positive reviews are generated and the political games played based on advertising commitments. Amazon is the parent company of DPR and Amazon is able to play hardball, if they choose. Who knows what goes on in spite of DPR assurances otherwise.
The fact is the K1 will more than adequately focus for 99% of people owning it. Richi's comment that he owned a 10 year old body that focuses quicker than the K1 is likely BS. I've owned my share of Canons in the past that were no more and sometimes less capable than the K1 in that respect.
Simply put, in my opinion in terms of delivered image quality, it is now the top dog in the landscape arena. I have two friends both of whom have sold their a7rIIs for the K1 (one also owns a 645z and used his SONY as a backup) and the other was a first time Pentax buyer. He also had a collection of SONY and Nikons, had never previously owned a Pentax. He's now putting the rest on eBay and has purchased a K3II to go along with his K1.
K1 performance is solid enough that regardless of DPR comments, there are too many other credible sites that find AF qualities more than adequate. Regardless of some attempts to undermine Pentax, I think the K1 is going to have a great run.
