Here we are comparing two cameras with different body types: Pentax KP, which was introduced in January 2017 is a Advanced DSLR camera with a 24.0MP APS-C sensor whereas YI M1, which was introduced in September 2016 is a Entry-Level Mirrorless camera with a 20.0MP Four Thirds sensor. There is only 4 months difference between KP and M1 so we are expecting this to be a fair comparison regarding age and technology level.
Despite some fundamental differences of these two body types, Mirrorless cameras are becoming serious alternatives to DSLR cameras thanks to their size/weight advantages and recent improvements in their focus speeds , which makes this comparison even more interesting.
Here is a brief look at the main features of the Pentax KP and YI M1 before getting into our more detailed comparison.
Let's read on in the following sections in order to better understand in detail how the Pentax KP and YI M1 compare and hopefully end up with enough arguments to decide which one is better for you.
