Think about it, Canikon do not have this category of DSLR yet, if K1 is priced at $1800 - 36Mpx, in body stabilization, FF.....What if K2 come around sooner than later. You can use a lot of ...

In the past Pentax has been plagued by "NOT INVENTED HERE" syndrome. It seems that the Ricoh has influence  the management for the better.. Pentax r ebadging was unheard off in the past!!!! this is ...

Thanks for your post, I have to try that star trails one of these days, those pesky airplanes tends to distract from that beautiful image, Oh well, it can be cloned out but its tedious. This ...

I used to own the D7100, sold it at a great loss, I just could not get the image I was looking for...It is sharp enough, it did not have the DR I was expecting ( I was comparing it to my D800E), ...

Parks71a, I have been an enthusiast for over 40 years started with Pentax film now with both Pentax and Nikons DSLRs.....Until I got the Nikon system, I have never won any Photo recognition. I ...

I have the d750 and handled both D5 and D500 here in LA last Thursday at a Launch event - Yes the D750 and the D500 are very, very close feel wise. I just hope the IQ of the D500 comes close to ...

amazing People and Machines - What lens? Here are mine from last year in Miramar, SD, CA, I used the Tamron 150-600 It was exciting fun! Can't wait for this year....

If the K1 is a success, as Pentax or Ricoh defines it. It would be almost a certainty that it will be followed by a fast and accurate FF DSLR for sports, Action and Wildlife..... What would you ...

All of the above responses are true....I purchased mine used and is easily the best lens I have specially used with my D800e. Here is a my first National Geographic Published Image from that lens. ...

I just saw a sample image from the K1, using the Pixel shift. Its a very specific application of the Pentax shake reduction system which will allow this kind of results. You may want to look at ...

I used to worry about what my current purchases would mean down the road. Nowadays, I am more concerned with what that purchase would provide me in terms of images I am thinking of today. * I have ...

That is my option #3. I will wait for the user community to let me know what to expect from the D500 and the K1 if not I will rent both and do my own evaluation. Can't wait for April.

Interesting perspective alcaher, I think that is Option #2 as I have stated previously...Yes I will consider that but will have to see User opinions soon as both the K1 and the D500 starts ...

Believe it or not, I was actually thinking of #1 which is to sell all of the Pentax and get the D5 and be done with it....FYI I hardly ever use the Nikon 70-200 VRII and I have a Rokinon 85mm f1.4 ...
