I like what Lloyd says here - http://diglloyd.com/blog/2016/20160219_1046-PentaxK1-FileFormatAndSize.html. But again, need to wait for real world reviews.

Sony ? FUTURE ?Why do suspect you may rejoin Pentax Bart?
I must say I did not follow the development of the FF Pentax with much interest. I had convinced myself that a Sony was in my future. Now I'm not so sure, if the Pentax lives up to its specs, it will be the most capable FF body for my applications; it would be nice if it were smaller, but the pixel shift is really appealing.

Leaches. :thumbdown:I actually asked Zeiss if they're going to produce Otus' for Pentax. They said if K-1 "if Pentax will reach similar market share like Canon and Nikon".
Hi Kit,I had been waiting until the A7r Mk ii prices plummet sufficiently (MF is much easier with all the current aids, and an EVF) but this body is an alternative, bar one aspect: no silent shutter.
This might be news to you but every company is "about profit". In terms of what is defined as pro level or not, well that is up to the pro to determine. If a pro chooses to use an A7RII and achieves his desired outcome, then this makes his choice pro level.Sony ? FUTURE ?
Overall, Sony was just about profit and consumer products, not prosumer products and never been pro level.
This is the way to do it:Is anyone else thinking OM lenses on this beast?

I used to shoot dance and theatre professionally, with manual Nikon and Leica glass – but my eyes were younger then?
Just a thought; I would want the Pentax Limiteds (the 43 and the 77) but I do have quite a few of the good OM lenses in the cupboard. I had been waiting until the A7r Mk ii prices plummet sufficiently (MF is much easier with all the current aids, and an EVF) but this body is an alternative, bar one aspect: no silent shutter.
Vivek you get AF confirmation by way of a red dot where you have set or want AF. Same with the 645Z-works extremely well.Hi Kit,
You are wrong about the "bar one aspect"
1. No easy accurate focusing (it is a DSLR with an OVF!)
2. You need an adapter with a glass correction element.
There is simply no comparison to the A7R II. Wait for the price drop and get one of that. Practically useful.
