The Pentax K-1 Mark II, the new flagship of the Pentax K-series lineup, features a full-frame Anti-aliasing (AA)-filterless CMOS sensor with a 36.4 effective megapixel resolution. An accelerator unit, along with the camera's PRIME IV image processor, enables it to produce high-resolution images with minimal noise even in the most challenging low-light conditions, up to ISO 819200. The K-1 Mark II is equipped with a 5-Axis, SR II system, which uses an acceleration sensor to cover the shake of yaw, pitch, roll, vertical, and horizontal, offering 5 shutter steps compensation. This built-in shake reduction mechanism can prevent camera shake even with high-resolution images and is effective with every K-mount lens.

The Dynamic Pixel Shift Resolution technology in the K-1 Mark II allows for the correction of camera shake during the image capture process, enabling its use even in low-light situations without a tripod. When used with a tripod, the Pixel Shift Resolution II images will produce an even higher resolution. The combination of PRIME IV and the RICOH-developed Accelerator Unit drastically reduces noise, allowing for high sensitivity up to ISO 819,200. The PRIME IV with a 14-bit imaging processing engine, coupled with the Accelerator Unit, effectively suppresses noise and reproduces fine-details with rich colors even at high ISO levels.

The bundle includes the Pentax K-1 Mark II DSLR Camera (Body Only), Pentax D-BG6 Camera Grip, Editing Photo Software, a 64GB Memory Card, and a Camera System Gadget Bag with Accessory and Cleaning Kit. The full-frame size CMOS sensor supported by approximately 36.4MP delivers high resolution while suppressing noise levels. The larger-sized CMOS sensor, which is 1.5x larger than that of APS-C, also produces a shallower depth of field.

In summary, the Pentax K-1 Mark II offers outstanding image quality, improved operability, and a range of advanced features, including a high-resolution full-frame sensor, powerful image processing capabilities, and an effective in-camera shake reduction mechanism. Its versatility and performance make it an appealing choice for photographers seeking a high-quality DSLR camera that can excel in a broad range of shooting conditions.
