Read our full Pentax K-1 Mark II review (opens in new tab) for more detailsįor anyone who is not quite ready to make the switch to mirrorless but wants the latest release with modern features, the Pentax KF is most likely your only option, with no other brand actively developing new DSLRs. Who knows, could the Kf be the last DSLR ever made? Pentax is one of the few brands still pushing DSLRs, it recently announced the Pentax KF (opens in new tab) - an APS-C 24.2MP camera available in three different colors.
With a 36MP full-frame image sensor, the K-1 Mark II certainly gives you a lot of megapixels for the money, though we think the 33-point autofocus system feels dated, and Live View autofocus is definitely pretty poor. It has a tough, weather-sealed construction, and a highly effective sensor-shift image stabilization system that works with any attached lens, unlike competing Canon and Nikon DSLRs, which do not have in-body stabilization.īetter still, the 5-axis stabilizer can work in trick modes to deliver anti-aliasing correction, an increase in fine detail and texture based on Pixel Shift through multiple exposures, and even an Astrotracer mode to avoid stars appearing to streak through the sky. Pentax seems to soldier along in its own little bubble, seemingly unaffected by outside events, so we found the Pentax K-1 Mark II typically solid but unadventurous.

It looked spectacular when it first came out in 2017, and it looks just as good today.
Its 45.7MP resolution is spectacular, it has a 153-point autofocus system, and can capture images at 7 frames per second – or 9fps with the optional MB-D18 battery grip.Īmazing video features also make it one of the best 4K camera (opens in new tab) choices around – though the newer Nikon D780 (opens in new tab) would be a better and cheaper choice for videographers. We know the Nikon D850 doesn't have the new Nikon D780's hybrid on-sensor autofocus technology, so its live view autofocus speeds are relatively pedestrian, but we don't find that much of a handicap for measured professional photographic shoots, and it scarcely puts a dent in the D850's all-round appeal as arguably the best DSLR of all time for professional photographers. We found the Nikon D850 an expensive camera (though prices are falling), but with capabilities that put it in a class of its own. APS-C format DSLRs like those earlier in our list offer a decent compromise between features, quality, and price, but professionals will demand a step up in image quality, and that means a full-frame DSLR.
