Are we getting the highest resolution DSLR ever? Pentax K-1 Mark III could be set to pack 61MP, IBIS and more…

Pentax K-1 Mark II.

Is a new 61MP DSLR coming soon? That's something few photographers expected to hear again in a market dominated by mirrorless cameras. While most major brands have shifted focus away from DSLRs, Pentax is holding the line – and if the latest rumors are true, it's preparing something big: the Pentax K-1 Mark III launch.

Official development of the K-1 Mark III was confirmed back in 2023. The first detailed camera rumors began to surface in 2024, including an early spec sheet that hinted at a significant leap forward in DSLR design. Now Pentax Rumors has shared that the K-1 Mark III is expected to be announced in October 2025, with shipping likely to begin between late November and December.
