The digital SLR or DSLR cameras with full frame sensor or full-frame usually for professional teams in which Canon and Nikon are the masters, followed by Sony among some others. Without them their is another named Pentax which is one of the leading companies in the world of photography, took almost 15 years without a proposal in this segment. Until today.
Pentax has just introduced its first full-frame DSLR camera in years, with the name of K-1, this camera is fitted with a 36.4-megapixel sensor, rear 3.2-inch swivel screen, backlight to illuminate the controls in low light conditions, and the body is made of an aluminum alloy. All this for a price of $ 1,799.95, which compared with offerings from Nikon or Canon, it is very competitive.
According to The Verge, the K-1 reaches ISO 204800 and the shutter speed is 1/8000 seconds, which allows for up to 4.4 frames per second. The display reaches 100% field of view and the camera body incorporates a stabilizer based on five axes. To this must be added the high-resolution mode, which combines multiple pictures for a super sharp picture.
Pentax will release this camera in April, along with two lenses; with a wide-angle 15-30 mm f / 2.8 and other commonly used with 28-105 mm f / 3.5-5.6. Since this is a camera with a new sensor for the brand, do not have a legacy lenses are compatible as if Nikon and Canon. Anyway, you can use the old Pentax 35 mm lens.
But really have to see it to find out whether it is really worth it or can it compete with the big guns of the industry.
