More lenses and 3rd party lens support will come eventually, a fair start it's better than nothing. The recent road map also shows more modern primes are coming.

That could be true for anyone being defensive using the system they choose, it's everywhere not just Pentaxians, when you see many people on DP review comments saying Canon or Nikon's colours are the best, Leica makes the best cameras etc etc then you know what the conversation is heading towards.... having used a few system made me to check out multiple forums, there is no surprise to see defensive fanboys and people who are not as well informed making comments on what they know or feel... I guess some people might be afraid to loose due to K-1's late coming into the full frame game and not being better means it seems to make the K-1 feel obsolete from the beginning, but we all know so far the K-1 is excellent. However, to be sure of something is worth investing is not a bad thing. And it is always good to late in game catches up, it is competition that drives innovation.



Agreed. I have used 2 5D series camera, the 5D2 and 5D3 and had experience with the original 5D, can't comment on that, but the 5D2 and 5D3 are certainly reliable and just keeps on going, that said Canon had ample of time, money and recourse to refine things. We do not know how the K-1 will be reliability wise, but so far looking how Pentax builds cameras, it seems it will be pretty good too.



I don't too, it still is one of the best sensor out there, the 42 MP BSI Sony sensor might be slightly better, but doesn't means the 36MP sensor is bad, in fact it has plenty of IQ for most of us already especially the MP count, more doesn't mean it will be defiantly better. I also remember reading somewhere in the forum maybe it's one of Adam's post on CP+ the 36MP sensor probably save Ricoh lots of money not adopting the 42MP BSI Sony sensor.



Better in what ways? IBIS= yes, features= yes( Astrotracer, LED lights, Tilting screen, Super rez, 3 dial control, GPS+ WIFI, Tilt shift and compensation correction...) MP count= 5DS wins against both D810 and K-1, Build and WR= Most likely K-1 wins, High ISO= We shall see,assume it is as good as D810 for now DR= we shall see, assume it's as good as D810 for now, Lens choice= Canon Nikon has more, and more 3rd party lens support, Pentax has it's own unique lenses. AF= we shall see, but looking at the AF system and tech in all 3, it seems like the K-1 is behind 5DS and D810 on paper, no one know for sure until the production model with final firmware comes.

Yes I was wondering the same. I'm sure Adam who shoot both D800 and K-1 side by side can give us some thoughts on another post right?

Thank you Adam, those samples speak for itself and looks indeed very good at high ISO even it's not full rez. As much as I'm looking forward to the images for the production model and your full in depth review ( and comparison with D800/D810) those looks pretty good to me already, and subjectively speaking I aways like Pentax colours better than Nikon. Thanks once again!

Thank you Adam for your report. Not much surprise here. As Nikon used the that sensor as D800/D800E and tweaked the same sensor in D810 to gave higher performance than D800/D800E; I assume Pentax's tweak would also yield higher performance than D800/D800E too, and it seems this is very likely so in the ISO performance.

Can't wait to see side by side comparison with D810. Would you publish some ISO and DR comparisons from RAW files between the K-1 and D810 when you can?
