So who is planning on buying the K1 (Who hasn't already)

- the camera to end all cameras
It looks a mighty mighty fine bit of kit, and truly competitive against the FF competition...but wait two years and the next ultimate camera will come along .
I'm chuffed to bits Pentax has produced this ... and very much looking forward to the images folk produce from it.... but I'm unlikely to make this my next purchase/upgrade. Hate to say it, but I'd be more likely to go down the mirror less route

There, I've admitted it. I'll get my coat

I went into SRS the other day to buy a new lens, the Tamron 70-200 F2.8, and resisted the temptation to even look at the K-1, because as you all know - "never say never!"

Perhaps they'll be some special offers later in the year,
Hopefully - and some good trade in deals.

I know - but hopefully this spec will keep me content for a long time!

i think i have reached my zenith i dont think i will upgrade again
I'm thinking that.
Classic quote there ....' just looking through viewfinder is an eye opener ....'.


If you have the money and a passion for photography, go for it. The K-1 is a lovely bit of kit.
good advice
I won't be going for it - there's no way I can justify it. I am more than happy with my K-5iis, and the only real problem I get is because of my shortcomings - not the cameras. I'd rather spend the money on (gradually) getting better glass.

What's a K1 ? Did it come out before the K2 in which case I missed it and went straight to a K2

My next camera will be a K*

Isn't K2 a mountain?

I know many people will be happy with the kit they have now. But some will be considering the K1.
What do we think?
