If you want full-frame, you buy Canon or Nikon, right?

That used to be the common consensus, but now there’s a third way - and it comes from one of the oldest camera brands in the world.

Pentax users might be massively outnumbered by their Canon and Nikon cohorts, but they make up for it with sheer die-hard loyalty. Loyalty that has finally been rewarded with a full-frame SLR that can compete with the big boys.

It ticks a lot of boxes for pro photographers, but arrives at a price the rest of us mere mortals can actually afford too. No mean feat, seeing how Pentax hasn’t skimped on the headline specs.

A 36.4MP full-frame sensor, 33-point autofocus, tilting LCD screen, built-in Wi-Fi and a weather-sealed body certainly sounds good in our book.
