Pentax K-1 II

A couple of years ago, at the start of 2016, Ricoh finally answered the calls from Pentaxians for a full-frame DSLR with the arrival of the Pentax K-1. We were seriously impressed by the weatherproof, 36-megapixel K-1, which paired great ergonomics with a lengthy laundry list of features, some of them completely unique to this camera.

Two years down the line, the K-1 has now received a followup in the form of the Pentax K-1 II. If you're familiar with the earlier camera, you already know most of what you need to about its successor, as the two are near-identical in most ways. There are changes in just a few key areas.

So what's new? Well, most importantly the Pentax K-1 II now features the same accelerator unit which made its debut in 2016's Pentax K-70, and was also sighted in the 2017 model year Pentax KP. So what, exactly, does this new unit do? Ricoh has played its cards pretty close to its chest thus far, but we can make an educated guess that it's being used to assist the main PRIME IV-branded processor with denoising.

The reason we can draw that conclusion is that the Pentax K-1 II's performance is basically unchanged from that of its predecessor. Full-resolution, full-frame burst capture is still limited to a maximum of 4.4 frames per second, while the 15-megapixel APS-C crop mode has slowed ever so fractionally from 6.5 to 6.4 fps.

But while burst capture speed is unchanged, the K-1 II's maximum ISO sensitivity soars a full two stops beyond what the K-1 could manage. Just as did the sub-frame Pentax KP before it, the K-1 II offers everything from a minimum of ISO 100 to a maximum of ISO 819,200, but it does so with a much larger full-frame sensor, so we'd expect more of the high ISO range to be usable than was the case with the KP.


Canon EOS 5D Mark III

The Canon 5D Mark III is a true "superstar" camera, with impressive capabilities for both still and video shooting. It suits the needs of well-heeled amateurs and working pros equally well, and while its resolution is only very slightly higher than that of the 5D Mark II, the Canon 5D Mark III offers so many improvements over its predecessor that it'll be an easy upgrade decision for many 5D Mark II owners.

Pros:

Superb still and video image quality; Powerful, fast, and accurate AF system with loads of cross-type points, loads of configurability and great frame coverage; Rugged, weather-sealed body with great control layout and user-interface configurability.

Cons:

Dynamic range is limited by noise in deep shadows; Somewhat heavy-handed noise suppression and sharpening at default settings. (Shooting RAW avoids both.); No AF illuminator.

Of all the additional features, probably the most important is the new autofocus system, brought over from the 1D X, which in addition to having more points (61) and more cross-type points (41), covers considerably more of the Canon 5D III's image area, while the AF system of the past two models were brought over from the company's APS-C cameras, thus covering much less image area in the viewfinder.

Other additions include a DIGIC 5+ processor, which is said to be 17 times more powerful than the DIGIC 4 processor in the 5D II. The 7D's 63-zone dual-layer metering system reappears in the Canon 5D Mark III, instead of the 1D X's 100,000-pixel RGB sensor. We'll go over the other features in more detail below, but the Canon 5D Mark III also includes a 150,000-cycle shutter rating; a new HDR mode; Full HD, 1080p video at 24, 25, and 30 frames per second; a 3.2-inch, 1.04M-dot LCD; a new CMOS sensor with higher sensitivity and an eight-channel readout that allows a 6-frame-per-second frame rate; a Quick Control dial that includes touch capability for silent adjustments while in video mode; multiple raw image sizes; 100-percent viewfinder coverage with an adjustable LCD grid and AF overlay; a 1.5 percent spot meter; a dual-axis leveling system; and Standard or Quiet operation modes.

The size and shape of the Canon 5D Mark III is similar to the Mark II, only a little heavier. The grip is sized right for the camera body, though somewhat large for small hands; it fit my medium-sized hands comfortably.
