Pentax to reveal first full-frame DSLR K-1 next week

In next week's CP show in Japan, Pentax will finally reveal its first full-frame DSLR after a year of its prototype presentation to the public.
According to The Verge, the Ricoh-owned company will unveil for the first time its first full-frame DSLR called K-1 in the international camera show from Feb. 25-28.
As for the specs, the K-1 has a 36.4 megapixel full-frame sensor, 204800 maximum ISO, top shutter speed of 1/8000 sec, and maximum shoot of 4.4 frames per second in continuous mode.
Unlike its competitors, it has a unique tilting screen design. The 3.2-inch panel could be twisted at different angles without getting off of the lens' optical axis. The screen's rear side is also equipped with a light to make the buttons visible in darkness. This "operation assist lights" is also an added convenience when you swap memory cards.
The camera boasts "nearly 100-percent" field of view plus around 0.7 magnification. It is also capable of delivering a shaper shot via its five-axis in0body image stabilization feature. However, the sensor does not have an optical low-pass filter.
Since this is a newly introduced line of camera from Pentax, it means that users can expect a lesser camera lens compatibility compared to other DSLR competitors Canon and Nikon.
However, techies should not fret right away since the camera company, as reported by Engadget, will launch two new compatible lenses along with the camera. These lenses are the HD Pentax-D FA 15-30mm f.2.8 ultra-wide angle zoom and the HD Pentax-D FA 28-105mm f/3.5-5.6 compact zoom lens.
Pentax already has 10 full-frame lenses available in the market today, but they don't have autofocus and stabilization features. If the available full-frame lenses fit the user's needs then they can use the medium-format 645 lenses, or the K-mount APS-C lenses. If not, then onecan just patiently wait for the launch of the next full-frame camera models.
The Pentax K-1 is slated to come out in April at $1,799,95.
