Is there an alternative to the K-1?

Agree with Jatrax that there's no comparison to older Pentax bodies and the K1.

The K1 continues to really impress me with its low light performance and ergonomics/usability. AF is great - significantly improved over my K3 and K20D before that (as long as you don't set 'AF Hold' too high and assume it's rubbish like I did at the start!!). I find that AF locks on in virtually any light and I can push the ISO without worrying. With 'any lens' SR too, you can always get something usable.

I agree that the P-TTL flash doesn't seem quite as trustworthy as the Canon gear I used to use for weddings, but does get it right most of the time and, frankly, I still believe manual is the way to go for completely predictable flash anyway

I don't do sport so can't comment on the AF tracking, but the consensus seems to be that Canikon has the edge on Pentax here.

Eight months in the K1 doesn't disappoint - it's just so usable in any situation. Great camera.
