I bought the Pentax K-1 three years ago on a whim. While I jumped to full frame without knowing much of what I was getting into (don't recommend) the Pentax K-1 has proven to be an incredible camera. I still own and use APS-C bodies, and I am not of the opinion that one is better than the other. That seems like a silly argument to have - both have advantages, and certain cameras can be good or bad on their own regardless of sensor size. I am downsizing my camera collection right now though, and decided to keep the K-1 as one of my cameras.

Nowadays, you can buy a used Pentax K-1 for around $1k USD. That is an exceptional deal. Just don't forget to think about what lenses you want/need and adjust that into the cost. It's definitely not a no-brainer to move from APSC Pentax to FF Pentax. Your K5, K3, KP, K-70 or whatever is going to be a fantastic camera. Just look at my recent K-3 video last year and compare my favorite photos there. Were my K-1 photos "better"? No! :P Don't worry so much with what you got and what you want and just keep shooting.

Let me know your thoughts on the Pentax K-1 if you have one. Or, let me know whatever you're shooting and up to these days. I would love to hear from you.
