K3 use with remote control
Perhaps they keep one back for such circumstances or its their demo one. But otherwise, yes, how odd. Set the camera back up again now and hope it continues to work OK. John K

K3 use with remote control
Just in case the O-RC1 throws a wobbly too I've programmed a couple of buttons on the TV one-for-all remote that seem to work the K-3 focus and shutter just fine! John K

K3 use with remote control
Hi David, Stock came in this morning! Earlier than expected.... Chris Thanks Chris for the help this morning ... the replacement was already for sending before I could get back to you to say it wasn't needed after all. I'd even got notification from Parcel Force regarding collection - what's t...

DPR K3 sample pics a joke!
Have you seen them. Apart from being the most uninspiring pics I've ever seen the majority aren't even in focus. My grandson takes better pics with his mobile phone. (e.g IMGP100 and IMGP202) We've already seen from our members that it can at least match a K5. This could seriously hurt Ricoh/Pentax...

DPR K3 sample pics a joke!
Whatever they do is almost guaranteed not to please, but in fact the images seem a reasonable selection to me. No doubt someone went out with the camera and lens provided and had a go to see what they could come up with. You and I might have done exactly the same thing. --------------------------...

A K3 test pic - not for critique!
Very obvious high detail on the house in the first one, similar to the in-focus zones in David Storms examples (at Stokesay). The 2nd here doesn't quite look fully nailed with the focus, although you'd have thought there would have been something for one of the 27 points to latch onto :) Maybe i...

The 2nd here doesn't quite look fully nailed with the focus, although you'd have thought there would have been something for one of the 27 points to latch onto :) Maybe its an adjustment issue? It's a crop from the middle of the SAME jpeg - the 1st image is the full picture reduced to 1000 pixels fo...

From a quick read great stills camera as we expected, not so good for video (not my thing) and AF improvement more down to beefed up screw drive motor than focus point changes.

From Roger Cicala of Lens Rentals Fame (Look it up!) "Glad to see the review. I'll add that yesterday I took a K5, D7100, and 70D, each armed with a 300 f/4 lens out back and took a dozen shots with each. Came back inside looked at the images for 10 minutes, and placed my K3 order immediately. It...

Oh dear - and I mean that with regard to the testing :evil: As a person to whom fast af means about as much as the 'may contain nuts warning' on a menu I don't really care if the K3 improves that much for my own needs but clearly others will and do, so why is it that the test for the speed of af ...

From Roger Cicala of Lens Rentals Fame (Look it up!) "Glad to see the review. At least he liked the K5 and DA*300:D He actually meant the K3, so to clarify, Roger Cicala's qoute should read: "Yesterday I took a K3, D7100, and 70D, each armed with a 300 f/4 lens out back and took a dozen sh...

The guy wasn't aiming at anything specialised though was he? He was enthused and there's nothing wrong with being enthused. Looking at his images the camera performed well for what he took. No doubt he could have taken things to a sports event but that depends on what's going on when we have the ...

They have to prise the camera back from my locked fingers yet....:) If they want to lend it to me after you've done all the shots of the stationary buildings ( ;) ), I'm more than happy to sit at the end of the runway at my local airfield and take pictures of the departing aircraft to review the AF'...

Who cares about the minority eh? I'm alright Jack What the hell are you going on about Smeggy? You really have a massive chip on your shoulder and I think it's you in the minority, not me. Your head is stuck firmly in the sand. Firstly put your toys back in your pram. Again. If you want to sh...

And the purple defringeing gets applied globally too - interesting. Purple Defringing is of no relevance to this discussion. Why you have randomly brought that up I have no idea. However in the spirit of good discussion and attacking the argument and not the arguer I steer the debate back to the...

K3 handling
I have been using one for a couple of days now, and for the most part I think it presents very similarly to the K7/K5 as you might expect. I think the increased number of functions where you hold down a button and turn an e-dial is probably a reasonable approach to the number of things they have sho...

K3 handling
Initially the relocation of the AF button did annoy me, however after three days of continuous use, I have now concluded it is in fact in a better place now than it was before. Really liking the extra focus points for more control of selective focusing and the AF just seems better than the K5lls....
