Re: Not outdated for landscape!

Astrotracer... Yes. That is true. The rest is not so important and for landscape you want resolution and K1 is not at the top anymore.

True, but the one Sony is about the only option with a significant resolution advantage and equivalent DR, but it has other usability issues that would make it substantially less enjoyable than a K1....not to mention it's special "baked-in" wallet flattening algorithm.

Many cameras are better. And ... Because of support of third party manufacturers of glass .. you can also get systems that are overall cheaper even if the body itself is more expensive for other brands.

Umm, YMMV, can't agree on that, but other manufacturers do have more extensive lens options.......Pentax' selection is still quite adequate for landscapes however.

I also started to feel that OVF is overrated and a good electronic VF is better.

Feel just the opposite here.....this interminable EVF prattle just doesn't play out in real world usage.
