I moved to the K-1 from a K-01, and before that a K-10.
The K1 is a big honking thing, and it is too snug for my normal bag. It is also a complicated beast, with lots of ways to get a mode mixed up and yourself thoroughly confused. And I miss the pop-up flash.
The worst part is my 16-50. I really wish I could get a built-in crop that fit its image circle better. I love the way that lens works for me.
All that being said, the thing is a fantastic camera. Focus speeds are laughably better than the K-01, particularly with my Tamron 70-300. The screen is great, the viewfinder even better, and it feels like a real tool in my hand.
And image quality is spectacular, even with lenses I thought were lousy. Having the extra ISO headroom lets me use apertures that weren't usable before.
Yeah, definitely worth the upgrade...
