K-1 Official Full Samples

Resolution is superb, but the colour rendition is just not my cup of tea, it's too Sony and Tamron alike, bad! :-(

Colour rendition is inluenced by the post production process and presentation on screen or paper, and can always be adjusted to your wish.

Sharp it is, but I doubt if they would publish unsharp photo's on their website. That is not to their advantage, I assume....

But finally it is there, the much awaited full frame camera, and it even tempts me to buy it for the extra quality you get, though my K3 is doing the job properly, it gives us a view of what will be the K3 Mark 3, or whatever the silly name of the camera will be. There is still room for a 'beginners version' of the K1, (K2?) with a more modest sensor and crippled software, like the D600.
When I use:
(A) DA* 200 or DA* 300 with K3 (crop factor 1,5) ISO 400 or
(B) DA* 200 or DA* 300 with K1 (crop factor 1,0) ISO 400.
And I "cropp till maximum" which RESOLUTION will be better, A or B?
For me it is a very important question. I like to hear, thanks in advance.

DA300 on K-1 has both higher resolution and better high ISO IQ than DA200 on K-3.
Thanks for reaction! So for me the step K5IIS > K1 is better than step K5IIS > K3II (which I did not like the high ISO results). So I can buy the new K1 with confidence in April!? I let the K3 then be left even though it is a nice compact camera.

Yeah, I'll get K1 first. Then can test for bad copy with 36M in case have to return.

I hope they re-release FA35 and get a short zoom soon. I have 70-200 f2.8 and 24-70 already covered.
Hi I had a silver FA31mm from Japan, and later a new black version from Vietnam both are identical from sharpness and Bokeh
So i would say go, on the other hand there might be an updated version coming with better coating.... we do not know.
