"Baked-in noise reduction results in Raw files with progressively less
detail than the original K-1 as the ISO increases. This can not be
turned off."

Yikes! Who decided _that_ was a good idea?

Looks like a triumph of marketing over engineering... the same review also rips dynamic pixel shift. Of the major enhancements to the K1 II only the improved AF seems to be holding up.

I wish Ricoh would offer substantive upgrades. The K1 is great but a few simple things would improve the experience - like a faster bus, bigger buffer, improved AF, AF sensors spread more widely throughout the frame. Not hyped up sexy features but basic, solid enhancements. Ridiculously high ISO and the promise of hand held pixel shift strikes me as just gimmickry.
