The big advantage of the Pentax K-1II is that the Pentax K-1 now sells for 1400 Euros, new, makes the original K-1 more affordable for a lot of people. You need to see Pentax from a positive angle.

Mirrorless cameras are something that customers did not asked for. Mirrorless was an idea from Sony executives when Sony failed to penetrate the DSLR market, they needed something different to develop into a market free of competition. And then, when Canon and Nikon saw their DSLR sales plummet due to general market shrinking and due to satisfied customers not upgrading, they decided it was time to force people to obsolete what they have (DSLR) and changes they bodies and lenses for the new mounts. Mirrorless was and still is business driven, it was never customer driven.

They will do fine on test charts, depending how the camera is used. When I used the A7III for the first time, I thought the sensor would be switched off as soon as I take my eye off the EVF, but no, by default the sensor is running all the time and that drains the battery. By default the A7III switches between EVF and back LCD, so it's running all the time as long as the camera is switched on. I asked the vendor if this was normal, he answered "yes, that's the way it works, but you can go in the menus and change it", I changed is, but then there was a little lag when looking through the evf again as the camera needs to switch the sensor on again, and acquire a number of frames to readjust the exposure. For me, trying the A7III was an interesting experience.
