Greetings,
took the K1 for a spin yesterday, and I must say, the last time I was so excited about a camera was, you're gonna beat me with a stick now, when I started shooting with my very first digital, the Olympus E-1. Seriously!
There is something about this lovely maschine that I can not really explain, it just feels right. I have no photos to share, I just tried her for 30 minutes in front of the shop, because usability and how it feels is so very important to my needs, I would even compromise to some extend on image quality.
I am not so much into videos, and this is apparently a weak point of the K-1, but for the occaisional memory clip for home use, I guess it is more than sufficient.
Very, very nice camera with some extraordinary features like compensating earth rotation for basic astrophotography is a big plus, let aside the robust feel, and that was where my Olympus E-1 came to my mind, she too was build like a tank and trustworthy under some rather extreme conditions, the K-1, only being six letters apart from the E-1
feels the same.
