The other main ones are the absence of a built-in flash, something which we regret simply because it means you'll need an extra strobe for wireless flash setups. That's one of a very limited number of omissions, though. In fact, there are so many great features we simply haven't room to mention them all! The lengthy list includes in-camera GPS, compass and tri-axis orientation sensors for geolocation, in-camera Wi-Fi for quick-and-easy sharing, and an uprated five-axis image stabilization system to fight blur.Īnd of course, there are dual card slots to provide ample storage, although sadly these aren't compatible with the highest-speed UHS-II cards. Much like Ricoh's APS-C flagship DSLRs before it, the K-1 is packed to the gills with tech. No question about it, the Pentax K-1 is an exceptionally well-specified camera. Ricoh packed the K-1 with plenty of features, but we do miss the popup flash And doubly so because it finally unlocks the potential in countless full-frame Pentax K-mount lenses which have been released over the decades, bringing full-circle a product line which has long been known for its impressive backwards-compatibility. It's a landmark product for Pentax and its brand-owner Ricoh, and one which finally plugs the sizeable gap between the company's impressive APS-C cameras, and its mighty 645-series medium format models. With the arrival of the full-frame Pentax K-1, we finally have an answer to all of those questions. When would it arrive - if ever - and how would it compete with rivals once it did? And if it created a full-frame camera, would Pentax be able to repeat its success in the sub-frame segment of the DSLR market, where its flagship K-7, K-5 and K-3-series cameras have rightly earned a reputation for good design and a rich feature set at an affordable price-point?
Full-frame: For years now, it's been the endless topic of discussion among Pentaxians.
