The quality of the video is not very high, but the dog images they show at the end look not really in focus, especially the last one. Anyway, the amount of improvements and development Ricoh/Pentax has put into this model is very impressive, especially seeing how small Pentax actually is (market share wise). 11 FPS, 25.7mp, the big OVF and the improved AF functionality are commendable. The lack of PD AF (for live view AF and video AF) and swivel screen are a bit odd, perhaps, in 2021.
How well the camera will perform in reality has to be shown yet, of course.

So the much-debated Eye-AF isn't listed in the specs ...
I love the horizon correction though. Not new for Pentax but still not implemented by the others I think?

I do not get that eye detect thing much, either. Yay what fun, let the camera do everything after you press the button (to instruct the camera to do its thing to take a picture).
Took along my Tamron SP 500mm f8 (manual focus mirror lens from the 1980's) while walking the dog this morning. Had to detect the eye all by myself. Oh dear. What is next? I'll have to make horizons level all by myself too?
