What will the new Pentax really offer us?
Hey, don't shoot the messenger bud! Not at all shooting the messenger!! Worth a post for sure, but videos like that just bring out the worst in me. That would have cost them at least a five figure sum to produce, and all it needed as a narrator was someone who had had a five minute briefing on...

What will the new Pentax really offer us?
I have enjoyed reading the Imaging Resource write-up linked just above - they clearly have a depth of knowledge of the Pentax range over the years and an eye for the details. Being a lover of my camera controls, I was particularly interested in the developments in physical controls on the new K3 ...

What will the new Pentax really offer us?
Am I understanding it correctly that detailed instruction is needed for the removal of an SD card from a camera? Press gently back in to the camera and the spring mechanism will return it out. Simple.

Perhaps the bump is a new housing / location for the focus motor to provide space for a full frame mirror assembly.

I dunno sometimes. I often find I have to look at the AF mode select lever to make sure it's in place anyway. If you're going to have to take your eye off the viewfinder, better to look at the back of the camera than the front.

But I don't understand how it could be better to have to activate the menu and change what the LCD is displaying just to select and confirm one of these options. The physical control is always there to glance at or use your tactile sense, and moving it doesn't interfere with your LCD screen - which ...

I like having the AF switch on the side of the camera, but sometimes i find when switching back to AF form MF im not sure what AF mode it is in. Could do with it showing in viewfinder. The arrangement shown on the K3 may work better as i assume it will return to AF mode it was in before.

I had to laugh at my reactions to this picture. 1) was that it looked ugly, like a brick in the central section, especially given that squared off 80s stealth bomber styling over the flash area etc. 2) I thought the mode dial was in a funny place. How soon I forget that the K100D was like thi...

AF-S is single focusing, that is, focus, lock and shoot. AF-C is continuous focusing, the camera keeps focusing as it or the subject moves.

It looks fake to me. The lens does look tilted and the contrast changes at the same point. That's not to say it isn't an accurate representation of the K-3, if such a thing exists. I would like some sort of dedicated focus switch. I use select focus almost exclusively, and having to share the togg...

Different view of new K-3 shows some interesting developments on the side of the camera! Btw this picture is almost certainly photoshopped. the lens isn't perpendicular to the body and thus the sensor, it's tilting downwards I'm not convinced. A quick snap of my K-5, with the non-HD equivalent ...

Bottom right button, is that for choosing which card to write to? HaI hate viewing pics on a mobile phone. That button looks rather like a small "joystick", the picture on the right shows 4 arrows. Maybe you can use it to select focus point or similar?

True, but how many aps c bodies have launched this year with a price over a £1000?? I think Ricoh need to get competitive with this from the outset According to Camera Price Buster the Nikon D7100 lowest price on release was £1100 and lets face it the K-3 is (from what I can see) basically the same ...
