The editors liked

  • One of the most attractive things about the K-1 is that it offers a rugged build and a full-frame sensor at a relatively affordable price. It's not cheap
  • But it compares favourably with the likes of the Nikon D810
  • Canon 5D Mk III and Sony Alpha 7R II. A
  • The Pentax K-1 delivers excellent photo quality and a ton of features in a sturdy
  • Well-designed body
  • Full frame fanciness
  • Superb stills in the studio
  • Small and tough - won't give up in wet weather
  • Great full-frame image quality
  • An abundance of clever modes (5-axis stabilisation sensor
  • Used for Horizon Correction
  • Pixel Shift Resolution
  • Astrotracer)
  • Flex-tilt monitor leads the way in its field
  • It's a bargain
  • Excellent image quality
  • Superb resolution and dynamic range
  • High features-to-price ratio
  • Excellent handling with many physical controls
  • One of the most flexible LCD displays around
  • High-quality stills
  • 5-axis in-camera stabilization
  • Unique adjustable LCD

The editors didn't like

  • It won't be an issue for everyone
  • But the K-1's menu system looks very old-fashioned
  • And some of the icons on the Control Panel are difficult to interpret
  • The top two sensitivity settings produce the type of results we'd expect to see from expansion se
  • The autofocus is inconsistent and the image stabilization isn't as good as competitors'
  • Not fast enough for action snaps
  • Needs light to look its best
  • Lens selection more limited than Canon/Nikon (or just harder to source)
  • Autofocus system not as on point as the competition
  • 4.8fps isn't as fast as competition either
  • No touchscreen
  • Occasional auto white balance inconsistencies
  • Video options not as comprehensive as those on other cameras
  • Artefacts visible in certain Pixel Shift Resolution images
  • Continuous focus doesn't track quite as well as other systems
  • Seems dated even though it's a 2016 model
  • Only 30p video
  • Not even 60p let alone 4K

  • 5-Achsen-Bildstabilisierung, WLAN & GPS, Flexibel verstellbarer Monitor, Solide Verarbeitung, Zweit-Display, LED-Beleuchtung
  • Kein Touchscreen
  • Die Pentax K-1 ist ein erfrischender Neuzugang im Markt der semiprofessionellen SLR-Kameras. Zu einen moderaten Preis erhält man einen 36-Megapixel-Sensor mit "5-Achsen"-Bildstabilisierung, einen flexibel einstellbaren 3,2-Zoll-Monitor, dazu WLAN und GPS...

  • Klasse Kantenschärfe, Üppige Ausstattung, Solide Akkulaufzeit, Viele Direkttasten, Robustes Gehäuse, Innovatives Display-Gelenk, Gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis
  • Mauer Video-Modus, Langsame Serienaufnahme
  • Die Pentax K-1 behauptet sich im Test als gelungenes Vollformat-DSLR-Debüt der Japaner. Die Bildqualität der 36 Megapixel liegt auf Höchstniveau, die Ausstattung lässt kaum Wünsche offen. Einzig die Geschwindigkeit sowie der Videomodus könnten schneller...

  • 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...

  • Камера стоит не слишком много относительно конкурентов: российские цены стартуют от отметки 160 тыс. рублей (2 450 долларов США на момент тестирования); украинские ценники ещё более лояльны к покупателю – от 1 900 долларов США (вторая цена в мире после СШ...

  • Отличная резкость по краям, Богатая комплектация, Длительная автономная работа аккумулятора, Многочисленные аппаратные кнопки, Крепкий корпус, Инновационное шарнирное соединение экрана
  • Слабый видеорежим, Медленная серийная съемка
  • Pentax K-1 показала в нашем тесте, что дебют японцев в сегменте полноформатных зеркальных камер удался. Качество изображения 36-мегапиксельной камеры на самом высшем уровне, комплектация отвечает любым пожеланиям. Единственное — скорость работы и видеореж...

  • Extremt hög bildkvalitet och många unika funktioner. Välfungerande bildstabilisator, övertygande konstruktion och oerhört flexibla inställningar
  • Låg bildhastighet, begränsad fokusspårning, rustikt videoläge. Det finns få fullformatobjektiv

  • Den hamnar dock lite efter Sony A7R II som har en något högre upplösning. Slår man på pixelshiftfunktionen får man dock ett dynamiskt omfång som i mångt och mycket motsvarar en mellanformatskamera. Bildkvaliteten blir faktiskt otroligt bra. För att det sk...

  • Ekstremt høy bildekvalitet og mange unike funksjoner. Velfungerende bildestabilisator, overbevisende konstruksjon og veldig fleksible innstillingsvalg
  • Lav skuddtakt, begrenset følgefokus, få fullformatobjektiver tilgjengelig og rustikk videomodus
