I am collecting orders now. bulk purchase..So far arh... arh...:bsmilie:

toto or no toto, buy first la..

otc

Yeah lor. All of you have been Screaming & Salivating for a Pentax Digital FF camera since the Pentasaurus ruled the Earth. Now that it is here, are you going to let something as small as money get in your way?? :sweat: Go get it first! When your photos and satisfaction set in, the justification will appear by itself...;p
 

Will they sell it in a kit form. It would be great to get a kit bundled with their latest lens. =)
 

This is what Diglloyd (one of the most detailed paid review sites) has to say regarding the K1 Super Resolution Mode.

"So I’m going to go out on a limb here: to my eyes, the Pentax K1 SuperResolution pixel shift mode will easily outperform Nikon D810 and Sony A7R II and Leica S. I suspect it will outperform the 50-megapixel Canon 5DS R and most if not all medium format systems as well (assuming lenses approaching Otus-grade can be had, Sigma may solve that). Without a doubt, the Pentax K1 SuperResolution mode makes it the finest black and white camera on the market (perhaps exception monochrome digital backs costing $25K or so).

I’m speaking about total quality—not just resolution, but per-pixel integrity, subtle tonal transitions, freedom from digital artifacts, lack of a “zipper effect” on fine thin colored lines, reduced noise, outstanding potential for black and white, ability to take aggressive sharpening."

Hope so...
This is really a lot of camera for the price of what many FF entry DSLRs are selling for (and this has the features of a high end one + more )


Diglloyd is know his details of the reviews.
Not that one will always agree with all that he does, but it can survive with a paid subscription model, that how good some people think it is.
So if its impressed Diglloyd, its certainly saying something. :)
 

We didn't see the purpose of having the pixel shift mode in the K3II. (How large are you planning to print?) ..... anyway, must say that the camera is very well built. :)

I/m a little confused. He said.....

The Pentax K1 SuperResolution mode appears to offer the highest image quality and highest resolving power of any DSLR today. Detail rendition in SuperResolution mode reminds me strongly of the Sigma DP Merrill, but with far superior color, much wider dynamic range, and considerably lower noise. And of course a whopping 36 megapixels.

So the K-1 will only produce 36mp files in super resolution mode? Thought it's a native 36mp chip? No?

They Interpolate the pixels (or shift and stack the consecutive image taken) to enhance/increase the resolution ....... your subject has to remain very still while the photo is taken ........

"But where the K-3 II could only use the function for completely static subjects -- at least officially -- the Pentax K-1 can now detect and account for subjects that moved between frames." From imageresources

Thanks, I know about the pixel shift thingy but my question was does it produce 36mp files natively or with pixel shift.

Native resolution of K-1 is 36Mp. Pentax use pixel shift to increase resolution in term of details and color depth not receive more Mp like other vendors.


Actually, the pixel shift test photos Diglloyd demonstrated in his website look over-sharpened and some degree of artifacts to me.
