High resolution Images: 36.4 effective megapixels ensures that details are shown clearly, delivering outstanding quality images. Optical Viewfinder with nearly 100% field of view: assuring a clear view of the subject and ease of focus. Top sensitivity of ISO819200: state-of-the-art imaging processing system, greatly improves image quality, even in low light situations. PIXEL SHIFT RESOLUTION SYSTEM II: PENTAX technology that produces high-quality images beyond the power of traditional image capture. The new-generation shake reduction II: 5-axis, 5 shutter step camera shake compensation. DUSTPROOF, WEATHER-RESISTANT CONSTRUCTION: A combination of the K-1 Mark II's 87 weather seals and the optional D-BG6 Battery Grip's watertight design prevents the intrusion of water and dust. Dust removal II mechanism: This effectively removes all dust particles from the image sensor surface, and prevents unwanted spots from appearing on the captured image. Dual card slot: large-volume image data filing on 2 SD memory Cards. Flexible Tilt-type LCD monitor: innovative mechanism to tilt the monitor to any desired angle along the optical axis. ASTROTRACER: By making full use of its GPS module, Electronic Compass and SR II mechanism, the K-1 Mark II simplifies astronomical photography of celestial bodies, without the need for an equatorial mount.

Great pictures. - Digital Cameras

I'm using some of my old prime lenses and am having a lot of fun looking at the results. As this is an update for me I'm familiar with the Pentax menu system so the learning curve was a bit quicker.

Pros
  • Nice Packaging
Cons
  • Great Price

Insanely good quality, resolution and DR

I just LOVE this camera. I use it with my old K mount lenses and now with m42 glass as Pentax makes a recessed adapter with the correct flange spacing. Dynamic range and resolution are fantastic. i love the camera Pixel shifting also works great when your subject and camera are locked. When shooting in RAW format, all 4 images are packed into one RAW file so you still retain all dynamic range and image editing flexibility. Much better than creating pixel shifted post IMO images.

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • confused

It's definitely a big improvement over k3.

Wow, awesome update. Moved from k3 to this one. And let me tell you. The noise reduction for night shots is worth it. Also, I usually use prime numbers. But the whale lens paired with this camera is just phenomenal. Ideal for a variety of shots. The picture quality is excellent. Astrotracer is very cool. Can't wait for a really clear night. The 77mm limit on this camera is much better than the K3. K1 is slightly larger than k3 and slightly heavier. But not much. The sensor stabilization is also

Pros
  • A dream come true

My second Pentax DSLR

Camera: I mainly use the K1ii for landscape and concert photography. I bought the K1II with the 28-105 and also use it with the FA 43 and DFA 100 macros. I've had the K3II for four years now and still use it with the DA series zooms. It's amazing how much the K1II has improved. Resolution and image quality are noticeably better, and the automatic noise reduction at high ISOs is quite serviceable and not at all intrusive. Color rendering is beautiful and better than k3ii in my opinion…

Pros
  • Finally bought
Cons
  • poorly thought out
