I'm pleased that it's of substantial mass. It will be a better match for the 
150-450 in terms of balance.
But regardless of that is the package bigger than it has to be to accommodate 
the 24x36 sensor and features? I don't know. How does it compare to comparable 
Nikon and Canon products.

I've handled some of these new lenses Pentax is making.
Granted they are zooms, but they are also ginormous.
Note that the K1 body dimensions don't include the battery grip.

Ricoh seems to have fallen into the bigger is better trap.

Just for giggles I compared the K-1 to the Canon D7 Mark II.  The K-1 is 
slightly narrower, slightly shorter and weighs 10% less, though it is a 
bit thicker, mostly due to it's grip. Sure the Canon has astounding 
performance in everything except imaging, where it lags pretty much 
everybody else by a bit, but we are comparing body size of a FF camera 
to an APS-C camera and the FF camera is smaller and lighter.


Now I want to say the Pentax isn't really a small camera, just small by 
comparison to some of it's competition.

I know I'm in the minority, but I like the size of the D810. If you have
large hands, this continual race to make a smaller camera results in tiny
buttons to press. Nothing wrong with a Pentax 67 sized camera.

I take it the latest battery grips come with a warning that it may make your
camera look fat.

Yeah - but 6x7 / 67 lenses are pretty big and heavy. With lens attached 
the 6x7 would be quite a bit larger and heavier.

When I get a K-1 I'll post a photo of it next to my 67. Should be
interesting.

Well the boyz from digitalrev seem to think that m43 has hit or is about 
to hit a dead end.  That Olympus has no where to go improving it's 
sensor, that it's about topped out in dynamic range, resolution etc.  
I'm not sure I see it that way, but hey it's a data point.


I happen to think the new Pen F looks like a wonderful street shooter.

alas, this is the direction camera life has been leading me:



(note the thickness and weight in the bullet points)

the K-1 is pretty attractive though, and i have a nice set of lenses 
for it; waiting to find out it's low-light performance, as that is the 
main thing that keeps me split between K-5 and E-M5

Well, I appreciate you doing this crap. ;)  I've been *this* close a
couple of times to pulling the trigger on a D750, but I prefer a
smallish-er camera...
