Expert Reviews

5 sources

The Pentax K-1 Mark II (and original K-1) offers exceptional full-frame image quality with a 36MP sensor, robust build, and innovative features like Pixel Shift and 5-axis stabilization, making it a top choice for landscape and still life photographers. However, its slow autofocus, modest 4.4fps burst rate, and dated video capabilities limit its appeal for action or sports shooting, and the minor upgrades in the Mark II version do little to address these core weaknesses.

Key Highlights

36MP full-frame Sony sensor with no anti-aliasing filter (AA simulator instead)

5-axis in-body image stabilization with up to 5-stop improvement and Astro Tracer

Pixel Shift Resolution mode for enhanced color and detail (now supports handheld)

Rugged, weather-sealed body with distinctive design and articulating LCD

Competitive pricing for full-frame DSLR, but autofocus and burst speed (4.4fps) lag behind rivals

Pentax K-1 Mark II Honest Take

The Pentax K-1 Mark II is a subtle upgrade from the original K-1, but still a solid choice for Pentax users ready to move into full-frame.

Pentax K-1 Camera Review

The highly anticipated full-frame Pentax K-1 packs incredible image quality, but action shooters might be let down by its sluggish frame rate and autofocus performance.
