Let the Learning Begin Anew

The new K1 Mark II showed up yesterday afternoon late. Honeydew projects kept me to busy to try anything other than unpacking and things and charging the battery Friday night. Now today for most of the day, have been involved with Fire Dept function, tomorrow family dinner, and Monday -Wednesday two of our grandsons, will be here. Killing me. At least on the positive side the curve shouldn't be so bad as most of the controls/menus/buttons function like the K3ii.
Initial random testing last night with the ISO showed usable images up to 51200, maybe at 102400, noisy 204800, pretty noisy at 409600, and very noisy at 819200.

Hope so, lot of pennies saved for it. One thing I'm anxious to try is the hand held Pixel Shift, but I have some study to do before I understand the new settings for same. So far I'm pleased with HD/DFA 28-105 lens as well.

Yup, and that's native, not extended. I will admit there's a lot of noise at that level, but it's an image. Haven't had a chance to really test out the limits yet
