Open Box: Used Pentax K-1 Mark II DSLR Camera (Body Only) undefined

Pentax K-1 Mark II, the sucessor to the Pentax K-1. The K-1 Mark II was designed to be the flagship of the Pentax K-series lineup.  Keeping the key unique features PENTAX is known for, Shake Reduction II, AA Filter Simulator, AstroTracer, Pixel Shift Resolution II, Flexible Tilt LCD, Composition Adjustment , Auto Horizon Correction, Smart Function, Operation Assist Light, Red Light LCD, TAv Shutter/Aperture Priority, and some new upgrades the K-1 Mark II is the perfect camera for Nature, Landscape and Nightscape photography.  The PRIME IV with 14-bit imaging processing engine coupled with our original Accelerator Unit, (a RICOH developed processing device) effectively suppresses noise and reproduces fine-details with rich colors even at high ISO levels. The Accelerator Unit was first introduced in the PENTAX K-70, followed by the KP and is now being introduced in the K-1 Mark II, marking the 3rdgeneration. We have been able to achieve the highest results from this newly designed Accelerator Unit based on our increased knowledge and experience  Pentax Pixel Shift Resolution has been very well accepted with the PENTAX K-3 II, K-70, and KP. We have adopted an upgraded version of the Pixel Shift Resolution to PENTAX K-1 Mark II. The system is apart from the conventional Bayer system, which only captures single unit of color data in each pixel. Pixel Shift Resolution captures four images of the same scene by shifting the image sensor by a single pixel, using the SRII mechanism. With this, each pixel captures all colors, resulting in super-high-resolution images, true to life colors with much finer details, while significantly lowering the level of high-sensitivity noise.   Dynamic Pixel Shift Resolution.  This technology is a revolutionary technology which comes from reverse thinking to utilize the minute camera shake itself to produce the composite images. Therefore, by detecting the camera shake in three dimensions, the continuously captured four images are analyzed based on the detected camera shake information and produce one super high resolution image. During the Dynamic Pixel Shift Resolution, as the image is not captured using sensor movement like traditional Pixel Shift Resolution, the SR II system can be used to correct for camera shake. By coupling both features, Dynamic Pixel Shift Resolution can be effectively used during low light situations even without tripod. From the technology point of view, when you are using tripod, the Pixel Shift Resolution II images will produce higher resolution.

I love my pentax cameras.  I'm hoping that this will last like my k-1000.  I didn't rate it a complete 5 star because I would not buy the package again.  The battery grip for me was a waste.  The camera is heavier as is and the grip makes it more so.  Also, it is suggested to keep the camera in one position and that is not how I take pictures (but to be fair, I take nature pictures), The camera will barely fit in the camera bag that came with the kit. 

I did like the filters and extra battery with charger.  But they would have been cheaper if I bought them separately.

Great Camera - kit, not so much

Excellent. I have been a Pentax user for many years now, and this camera does exactly what I need - excellent color rendition, well-built, weather-sealed, fast enough AF for my various work.

Excellent Product

Had a lot of auto focus film lenses that fit Pentax as well as some manual lenses that all work great

Pentax K1

First, if you're already a Pentaxian and you're looking for an upgrade, this is probably the #1 choice for you. Another strong contender is the K3-III depending on your needs. I wanted the full-frame experience with the lenses I already own. I have not been disappointed. The buttons and menus are intuitive. Again, this is from a long-time Pentax user's perspective. It's a husky camera but easily doable with my small hands.  I can easily switch from the K-1 to my K-3 and K-5iiis without problems. I view this camera as the ultimate for me. I might never purchase another DSLR, and mirrorless is a foreign world to me for now. I expect to use it for many years. 

However, if you are NOT already a Pentax user, I would question if this camera would make you happy. There are excellent reviews out there explaining the differences, so I won't do that here. The general opinion is that it competes well as a landscape camera but gets beat otherwise. Lens choices are vast.

Pentaxians will love the K-1 II.

This is a wonderful bundle of essential product. As a long time Pentax owner, my current lenses made this bundle a no-brainer. The price was right and the accessories are of good quality. 

If you were just getting started in digital photography, this would make a great bundle to get you going.

Great Camera and Essential Accessories bundle

I love this camera.  I recently upgraded from the K-5 to the K-1 and impressed with the sharpness, color and focus. The options are numerous in fine tuning preferences.  Natural color is accurate.  It works well for me with studio lighting, however when using outdoor for action shots it is a slower than the K-5.   Continuous shooting speed performance is lacking for me.

I've been with Pentax since the 70's.  My first Pentax was the 35mm KM..  Since then I have owned two others.  The Pentax K-1 Mark II is the first full framed digital.  I have never been disappointed with the quality of the Pentax products.  I would recommend this package as it is true to it's advertisement and it's expedited shipping promise.

Great Buy For The Dollar

Wow - what a beauty. I chose this over the more recent K3 (APS-C) because some of the features on the K1 are not to be found in other Pentax models (tilt screen, GPS). I wasn't necessarily looking for a full frame camera so that is a bonus. The latest greatest upgraded auto-focus in the K3 aren't that important to me, I don't shoot video. So this K-1 has it all.

The full frame zoom lens kit is a good package. The deal with SD card and spare battery and charger is also a better fit for me than the package being offered by a competitor store in NY (which I also buy from) - they were offering a photo editing software. I mean, presumably someone buying a K-1 would already be using their own software so it didn't make much sense to buy that package. The Adorama package deal was thoughtful and I am glad I bought from Adorama instead.

The right mix of features

Great Camera, love the fact that I can use all my older but still really Good Lens and flash. Also weather and dust proof.  You can feel the Toughness and Quality Build when you put this camera in your hands. Oh not to mention the fact that is a Full Frame (35mm) Camera, which of everybody knows Bigger is Better.

Pentax K1 Mark ll from Adorama

What a Great Camera Bundle, Also a Great Price with Super Fast Shipping

Pentax K1ii from Adorama

Pentax as usual a grate camera. It is a working horse, grate quality, sharp image.

Pentax K1 Mark II

Pentax K1 II

This literally has everything I feel anyone would need to start doing photography. For the price you can't go wrong. Yes, although some items could have been perhaps a higher quality, you can't beat the fact everything is bundled together and made convenient in 1 package deal. Lens are great for many different types of shots. Bag does well to fit majority of the tools you need on the go. 

The extra extension for the battery is a great for the handling of the camera and it also significantly extends your battery life. The software however, is a bit outdated. I believe it is 3 year old version. Regardless, you get something to edit your pictures with therefore, I am not complaining since most picture editing software now requires a yearly subscription. Love the camera strap that came with it as well, really comfortable. 

Battery chargers there's two and it allows you to either charge both or have different ways to charge your battery. Either way, they both work well.

Would buy it all again if I had to

If you used a K-1 II you would be able to feel the SLR-love inside it

Pentax loves SLRs

I have been a life long Pentax user and had been considering going to a full frame DLSR for some time.   I am delighted with Pentax's entry into full frame DSLRs with the  K-1 Mark II.  So far it has exceeded all expectations and I have barely scratched the surface of it's capabilities.  Image quality is amazing, the Wifi remote operation from my cell phone is coming in handy for wildlife.  With this camera I know the only limitation my work will face is my own limits, not the camera's!

Thrilled with the K-1 Mark II, looking forward to years of use.

I have been through all the brands from Nikon to Canon, Olympus to Fuji.  I purchased a Pentax K3 several years ago and have missed that camera since I sold it.  Well I finally took the plunge and purchased the K-1 II.  First of all the service from Adorama was top notch....could not ask for better.  I took the K-1 out to the coast for a trip I had planned.  I also took my full Olympus kit as well thinking they would share the duties.  Well, the Oly did not come out of its bag.  This Pentax is so user friendly and the menus are easy to navigate.  Having said that....it is seldom that you ever have to dive into the menus as most everything you need is there without taking your eye from the gorgeous and huge viewfinder.  No doubt the best optical viewfinder in existence on a full frame camera!!  The images are stunning and huge dynamic range!  I would highly recommend the camera.  Just heft one and compare the perceived quality when in hand against anything you are using now.  This is photography's best kept secret!

The Pentax K-1 II.... "Landscape King!"

I have been wanting this camera since it first came out.  Got a great deal from Adorama during holiday sale.  I am familiar with its general layout since I own a K3.  I have not had time yet to give it a full workout but I'm thrilled to have it and look forward to the better images in the full frame format.  The wifi connection and tilting screen are some of the other improvements I appreciate. As others have said, you cannot touch all of the technology in this camera for this price by other makers.

Amazing camera

Great camera,  Equals my Nikon D810 but has additional features that the Nikon doesn't.  Like AstroTracer, Pixel Shift, 5 axis stabilization with any lens, all direction tilt screen, rear lighting for buttons with night time red as well, and built in GPS.  These and other features make the camera easier to use.  It is also less expensive than Nikon.

Great Camera

Dream come true.  Many complements on this camera and the way the photos turn out.

Pentax K1Mark II love this camera.

Enjoy getting right out of the box ready to use items.  Was able to go out and shoot the very next day.

Bundle

It's an amazing landscape camera for the cost. With a good lens, there is nothing you can't capture in amazing detail.

Undertated Camera

I like this camera

K1 mark ii is my first full frame Pentax, I shoot a lot of low light situations it has done great so far.

Love the new camera

I bought it for the Astro guider and I found it very easy to use.

Astroguider

I love my Pentax K-1 Mark II. This is my second K-1. I bought a second body so I can have my original K-1 astromodified. I love  the builtin intervalometer and the Astrotracer.

Love my Pentax

Pentax K1 M2 is good for high pixels, weather and dust proof, and built-in GPS. Priceworthy. But it is too heavy to carry with lenses and accessaries and bothering to take photos whatever, whenever, wherever for me as a senior hobby and travel photographer. I should return to compact one.

Rigged but Too heavy

Everything about this purchase went as planned. I love my new Pentax K-1 Mark II and ordering from Adorama was a breeze. If I have to express a critique at all it would be that much of the "kit" stuff that came packaged with the camera was very basic. I guess if I was brand new to photography I might have found these items (basic carrying bag, all-in-one SD card reader, lens cleaning kit) was, well, basic. I don't really need or want the stuff. And yet I did select for then to send it to me and didn't have to--guess I just can't say no to free things. My only others gripe is that the neck strap Pentax includes is not comfortable. This is a big, heavy camera. It really needs a big, strong neck strap to go with it. I've since ordered one.The most important aspect of this purchase is, of course, the quality of photo. This is where I love this camera. Absolutely gorgeous photos are achieved with this.

Love it!

You CANNOT do better for the price! It has features only found on bodies that are thousands of dollars more. Also, since IS is in-body and Pentax is committed to supporting all k-mount lenses, your thirty year old lens has IS. And the new pro - line lenses are incredible. Does it have the fastest AF? No. Can you still use this for sports? Yes. And real estate (it's the same sensor as the A7 but for half the price).

Best Value Full Fram DSLR System - Period!

Pentax shooter for over 46 years, even medium font (645).Currently use, not only the K1 ll, also my K10 and K3. I patiently waited for the 2nd Gen and glad I did.So looking forward to fully utilizing the FX fornat.  So far...loving every moment.

I am absolutely in love with my K1ll

Was between this one a Nikon. I do believe this was the better choice for me.
