Does a full frame make a difference? Is it worth buying a full-frame camera?Do I need to spend money on an expensive full frame or is it better to buy a cropped camera?..

It's worth buying for those who are at the level between amateur and professional photography, and for a first camera body, it's not bad itself. The body is worth the money and lives up to the brand's quality, showing that it's no worse than the older tried-and-true bodies from past decades. By the way, this camera is one of the few that are assembled on a metal frame... Not everyone easily understands that a radically different level of bodies starts with adding another zero to the price, and no other way.
Support for focus detection with any non-autofocus optics of M42 type; M39-M42. Quickly turns on, works excellently, image quality with human optics is impeccable for this class with a crop sensor (just buy a good lens, as it accounts for 60% of the image quality) practically invisible noise up to ISO 1600, good dynamic range, fast AF, JPEG shots are very pleasing in terms of quality, the control elements are conveniently located for me, as in previous cameras it wasn't the case; I spent a long time searching for buttons by touch. Here, both the button quality and body quality are very good. The stabilizer allows extending the exposure time by 2-3 stops, depending on your steadiness and the weight of the optics.
small battery capacity, and for some reason, the dust is visible in the flash volume.. But once you get used to using an external one, you don't bother with it anymore..

If it weren't for the battery, it would be perfect.

Purchased 2 months ago. When asked, I praise the camera. Compared to the Nikon D90, it's significantly better.
Fast autofocus, takes decent photos, interval shooting, lithium battery; convenient menu navigation, shockproof design, night shooting (tried in the dark - works GREAT), shoots 6 frames/sec, with good color reproduction and quick focus allows capturing quality images of moving objects. Including burst shooting function, I set the number of shots, the interval between them, and the camera works on my behalf, even autofocusing during this mode.
The only thing I didn't like was that the battery drains quickly.

Worth it, worth it and worth it again!!!!

The camera is good, as is everything from Pentax! For 5500 UH (ubitye khomyaki) you get a magnificent mid-range creation, yes I am not mistaken, it is indeed mid-range! Just put on at least a Pentax SMC DA 55-300mm f/4-5.8 ED and you'll understand, or even better, a Pentax SMC DA 17-70mm f/4 AL!!!

Regarding the battery, it's a debatable matter; my standard one lasts up to 500 shots with flash and it's fine!!!
1. Fast in autofocus (after IsDl ferrari)!
2. Huge ISO range (12800) (though why is a question, quite noisy)
3. Many modes.
4. Light.
5. High build quality.
6. Good ergonomics (fits in the hand well, at least for me)
7. PRICEEEE!!!
1. The native KIT doesn't work, another lens is needed (not Tamron, at least not a cheap one) (it's like a Ferrari engine on a Lada gearbox).
2. Autofocus is fast, but that's it!
3. And that's all!!!
