  • Full frame fanciness, Superb stills in the studio, Small and tough - won't give up in wet weather
  • Not fast enough for action snaps, Needs light to look its best
  • The K-1 packs a full-frame sensor at a pretty bargain price, so there's no major surprise that it's not the perfect all-rounder.Sure, it does a great job with portraits, macro and landscape shots, but it'll leave sports and wildlife photographers a little...

  • The Pentax K-1 might be more than a decade in the making, but it is well worth the wait. Pound for pound, it is the best value-for-money full-frame DSLR camera right now...

  • La qualité photo excellente, la panoplie des fonctionnalités, le boitier bien pensé et solide
  • La stabilisation d'image pas au niveau de la concurrence, la mise au point automatique incohérente
  • Le Pentax K-1 s'adresse aux photographes qui veulent une excellente qualité en dépensant moins de 2.000 euros...

  • Qualité d'image,  Prix raisonnable,  Robustesse,  Equipement riche
  • Vidéo limitée,  Parc optique naissant
  • Ricoh a mis le temps, mais le Pentax K-1 s'avère un très bon reflex plein format et ce d'autant plus qu'il s'agit du premier de la marque ! Robuste, complet, riche en fonctions, offrant une excellente qualité d'image et le tout à un prix largement en-dess...

  • Corpo molto robusto e tropicalizzato, Più compatta delle dirette rivali ma altrettanto comoda, Ottimo sistema di controllo con ghiera personalizzabile, Originale display orientabile (molto più pratico di uno fisso), Ottimo sensore con alta risoluzione e s
  • AF lento e con ridotta copertura del frame, Pochi obiettivi moderni compatibili, Qualità mediobassa dei video, Pochissime possibilità di personalizzazione dei controlli, Scarsa implementazione del controllo via WiFi
  • Dopo una lunghissima attesa, l'arrivo di Pentax nel mondo delle full frame digitali si è concretizzato in un modello dalle indubbie qualità. La K-1 non è una outsider solo di nome, ma anche di sostanza. Propone soluzioni originali, alcune volte persin...

  • Mit der K-1, K-3 II und K-70 hält Pentax für Profis und Amateure ein top ausgestattetes Kamera- Sortiment bereit. Alle drei sind robust und bestechen durch ihr sehr gutes Preis-/Leistungs-Verhältnis. Der Autofokus arbeitet präzise, ist aber nicht so schne...
