The ISO range looks interesting if correct.

Very nice...quite hefty at 925g body but i'm sure the early adopters will be able to afford a few new shirts in a larger collar size!

Its all about the pentaprism. Looks like a monster VF.
Ref the ISO range, i'm still hopeful of something a little under ISO100

Oh! Dear! Looks like they've swapped the position of LV and Preview buttons

LV will be awkward to switch on

Edit: Same as the K-S2, but that might have been due to the selfie position.

Does it have a movie mode. Cant see anything to turn it on, maybe its stills only.

Not that it bothers me.

I've always liked the layout of the K3 but I actually think the LV button will be a little better there than where it is on the K3 as will be the changed position of the playback button.

The seeming absence / removal of the stills / movie "toggle" lever reduces a little clutter around the Green reset button; ergonomically better but does that mean no video / movie mode, as mentined by Jeff above ?

the video switch is a lever on one of the top dials this does video, speculated 1080 no confirmation..it also has the mic and headphone jacks you'd expect, no word on if the dials light ip yet.

The only technical thing to say that I can think of is it looks a Beast! 😀

My most often used camera is a K-5 IIs, so I can confirm that it will be easy to switch the K-1 to LV. I do so every time my intention is to review a shot on my K-S2.

Cheers.

It reminds me of the early RED LED watches when you had to use TWO HANDS to tell the time and risk spilling your beer I was glad the LCD watches came out

There were people who said RED LED watches were OK.

Official announcement confirmed for 18th Feb. 2016

Interesting shot of the rear screen + other shots (link below)
Looks like the rear screen could get in the way of the LV button?
