There’s also a range of operation assist lights to illuminate not only the control buttons, but also the lens mount, memory card slot, and LCD screen for easier operation in low-light environments.įor video, the K-1 records Full HD 1920×1080 resolution movies at up to 60fps, features a built-in stereo microphone with external mic compatibility, and is capable of recording clips up to 25 minutes (or 4GB) long. The autofocus system features 33 phase-detection targets (including 25 of the more accurate cross-type variety), which are positioned quite centrally in the frame in full-frame mode, but offer edge-to-edge coverage in APS-C mode.

The latest Pentax PRIME IV image-processing engine offers 14-bit processing for rich, detailed images, and Pentax’s Anti- Aliasing filter simulator can be activated to minimize any moiré or false-color effects, or turned off to maximize resolution. Pixel shift is recommended for shooting static subjects on a tripod, to minimize ghosting when the images are merged, which rather limits its effectiveness for many subjects, but it could be an interesting feature for product, still life, or architectural photographers. The K-1 also features Pentax’s unique pixel shift system, which shoots four exposures and merges them together in-camera to create a 180Mb TIFF with greater detail and color accuracy. All lenses will work with Pentax’s built-in SRII sensor-shift shake reduction system, which offers up to 5 stops of image stabilization, correcting camera movement across 5 axes. A range of new weather-sealed lenses, including a 15-30mm f/2.8 wide-angle zoom and 24-70mm f/2.8 or 28-105mm f/3.5-5.6 standard zooms, is also available for photographers after a completely weatherproof unit. Pentax has also priced the K-1 to challenge its main full-frame competitors, such as the lower- resolution 24.3Mp Nikon D750 at $2,000 and the 20.2Mp Canon 6D for $1,400.Ĭompatible with all Pentax K-mount lenses from 1975 onwards, the K-1 is an attractive option for Pentax shooters looking to use legacy lenses, including Pentax DA-mount lenses, which will work on the K-1 in its 15Mp APS-C crop mode. Costing just $1,800 body only, it’s the cheapest 36Mp full-frame DSLR currently available, saving you $100 compared to the $1,900 mirrorless Sony A7R, and around $1000 cheaper than the $2,800 Nikon D810 DSLR. Packing a 36Mp CMOS sensor in a weather-sealed body, the new K-1 certainly looks like it’s been worth the wait. With Pentax’s track record of producing robust DSLRs with interesting and often unique features at competitive prices, enthusiasts have been patiently waiting for the Japanese manufacturer’s first full- frame offering.
