Didnt think it would be quite so good.

If its as good as people say, what are Pentaxians going to have to complain about, it would be like the end of the world!

Chuckle!

I'm expecting great things from the K-1, and I've ordered or pre-ordered all the 2015/2016 "D FA" lenses to go with it. (I already have two of them). But ....

I've stood with my K-3 next to a Canon 1Dx user, doing birds-in-flight shooting, and I was totally out-gunned. Not just by the AF, but also by the frame-rate. (And the fact that he was using the Canon 300mm f/2.8, with and without teleconverters!)

I think my complaint will be that Ricoh/Pentax have failed to compete fully with cameras and lenses costing several times as much. Shame, Ricoh!
