Yet more K-3 v. K-5mkii questions
Hi Chris I'm not sure I can advise on IQ just yet as I've only had the K-3 for a week and taken less than 300 shots. However, I can tell you the following: - Focus Peaking is a big advantage with MF legacy glass - it makes accurate focussing a breeze, much easier than the viewfinder. The K-...

Yet more K-3 v. K-5mkii questions
Hi I've jumped from the K20D to the K3. Never touched the K5II so cannot comment. Obviously a big jump for me but here are my initial thoughts. The camera is great to use, faster everything. Focus is very good, Focus peaking is very,very good and fantastic for macro and stacking. I'm not ...

I think the ability to turn the aa filter on and off, together with 27 focus points alone makes the K3 very, very attractive. The AF for moving subjects is defiantly better on the K3 than the K5ll, as I own a K5lls and a K3 and used both of them over 3 days photographing the RAC Rally, I ended up...

Yet more K-3 v. K-5mkii questions
Just done a quick test indoors in dim artificial light and the metering on the K-3 with M42 lenses appears to be just about perfect. No issues at all. Also, interestingly, the focus confirmation when manually focussing via the viewfinder is just about spot-on, much more accurate than I've seen with...

Yet more K-3 v. K-5mkii questions
I was dithering a bit, sold off a few bits and pieces and was about to buy the K-3 when I took a step back and asked myself did I really need it and or want it. If I have any issue with my K-5 it is AF, specifically low light AF and the K-5II(S) resolves that. I'm not really a landscape photographer...

[quote:3496ace15f="womble"] d) Has anyone tried the FLU card? One of the main things that interests me is being able to use that sort of technology. Can the K-5mkii be used tethered? I do a fair amount of technical work on a copystand and being able to check focus, lighting etc. and download ima...

Thanks all. For my needs it looks like the focus peaking of the K-3 v. the IQ of the K-5ii... Hmmmmmm perhaps I should get a remaindered K-01 and spend the difference on a plane ticket to somewhere interesting! Best wishes, Kris.

To be fair Mike, isn't it true that the AF did get faster between all of those cameras and appears to be better still with the K-3? For me, focus speed and functionality was 'good enough' with the K-5 (mk1) and that's what I continue to use. The increased number of presumably smaller AF points...

For me, focus speed and functionality was 'good enough' with the K-5 (mk1) and that's what I continue to use. After having spent the last few months happily using my K10 with old manual focus lenses, I dusted off my K5 today and spent all afternoon taking a variety of photographs of different thin...

K3 locked up
I was out yesterday with the K3, grip and 100-300mm Ex Sigma. Quite early on whilst in single shot mode it burst into full speed just after taking a shot. I switched it off, to no effect and then immediately started to undo the grip with the intention of removing the camera battery. The camera wa...

K3 cancel AF problem ?
I think I may have a problem with my K3. With my K5 I have the AF button set to cancel the AF, when I’m taking photos of rugby penalty kicks I’ll be in AF.C mode and I focus on the ball then use the AF button to cancel the AF then recompose the shot and fire off 5-6 shots when the player is tak...

K3 cancel AF problem ?
what is "action priority" set to for AF.C? focus or FPS? FPS priority, it shouldn't matter if I've set AF button to cancel AF, the camera should fire off a burst off shots as if in manual focus mode. I think I'll have to start using back AF button to AF with no AF on shutter button.

K3 cancel AF problem ?
I've just updated to Firmware 1.02 and problem hasn't been fixed :cry: As a workaround, would you achieve what you want by using the back AF button exclusively to do the focusing? That is, disable the 'AF on half-press'? Then you could focus once (with the back AF button), then recompose and f...
