DPReview 7.9/10
In autofocus performance and video capabilities, it lags behind the competition. But it's got a tried and true 36MP full-frame sensor, offers great ergonomics, is seriously weather-sealed and has a ton of cool features not found on other cameras. Unfortunately, the K-1 II has worse image quality than its predecessor. This is due to forced noise reduction to Raw files resulting in less overall detail.
