Very little comment from you Rice - considering y/our dreams have come true after so many years... we're not it Kansas anymore!

He finds it hard to comment because he needs to find serious flaws first. But that's not easy given the price point of the K-1. It may not have fast enough AF to compete with the D810 or D5 but at the same time it is better built and better equipped as other enthusiast DSLR's, at a much lower price point.

So RIcehigh may complain but he should take its pricepoint into account otherwise it makes no sense at all.

Not fast enough AF? Right, look at the price.
No 4K video? Right, look at the price.

It's a nature photographer's outdoor camera, not a sports shooters dream (who is already well served with a Canon or Nikon).

If RIce fails to understand that difference, then he's just complaining for the sake of complaining. :)
