Product Overview

Pentax K-1 is a high-end DSLR camera in the Pentax K-mount system. Introduced by Pentax in 2016, it comes with a full-frame sensor with 36 MP (7360 x 4912) resolution.
The camera has an excellent battery life, and you may just get away without a second battery. The K-1's 4.4 fps burst rate limits its use for certain types of photography, but it is hardly something that most photographers should worry about.
The Pentax K-1 comes with 33 autofocus points and a built-in GPS.
