The Pentax K-1 DSLR Camera sports Pentax’s first full-frame digital image sensor.

the K-1 DSLR Camera is a landmark release for the respected company, and makes sure to deliver on multiple fronts. Packing in a 36.4MP full-frame CMOS sensor and the advanced PRIME IV image processing engine, the K-mount camera will be able to capture detailed images with low noise at sensitivities up to an impressive 204800 ISO. Ensuring the sharpest possible images, the K-1’s image sensor omits the anti-aliasing, or optical low-pass, filter, relying on an AA Filter Simulator function to reduce moire when needed. Additionally, the camera has a built-in 5-axis Shake Reduction system rated for up to 5 stops of compensation.

Ensuring speedy capture, the K-1 features a widened SAFOX 12 AF sensor that is optimized for the full-frame image area. It is equipped with 33 AF points, 25 of which are cross-type, and three f/2.8 luminance sensors as well as the capability to operate in low light down to -3 EV. Users can capture images at up to 4.5 fps and thanks to a fully weather- and dust-resistant magnesium alloy body will not be worried if the weather quickly changes. Along with this, the K-1 has a unique 3.2″ cross-tilt LCD monitor, which can tilt upward 90°, down 44°, and left and right 35° for numerous positions. Additionally, dual SD card slots are available for backup or additional storage when needed.

With the Pentax D-BG6 Battery Grip you double your battery life and increase comfort during vertical shooting. It holds one D-LI90P battery pack or 6 AA batteries in addition to the one already in the camera, ensuring longer shooting times without changing batteries. Also, it extends the grip for greater comfort and includes a variety of switches, buttons, and dials to allow for full operation while shooting in the vertical orientation. The grip is fully weather-sealed as well, with 47 different seals throughout to protect from water and dust.
