Nikon d5 vs pentax k 1?

The Nikon D5 is the pro sports body: 20.8 megapixels, full frame, built to be heavy, fast and tough. It has no in-body stabilisation, so pair it with stabilised lenses like the Nikon AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR for slow shutter speeds.

The Pentax K-1 has 36.4 megapixels, more than the D5 for detail, and stabilisation built into the body. For everyday and landscape work, I'd lean K-1. Try the Pentax HD D FA 24-70mm f/2.8 ED SDM WR as a standard zoom.

If you shoot fast sport or birds, go D5. If you want resolution and steadier handheld shots, go K-1. Both are full frame and were announced in 2016. For the speeds you'll need, see wildlife and sport.
