DXO K3 Scores are out
I sort of agree Smeggy and I have to say I was hoping to beat the D7100, and I feel a tad deflated, it's close but no cigar! As Dodger mentions above, it may struggle against the D7100 with it's Focusing which Will currently seem superior due to the availability of faster focusing lenses than Pentax...

DXO K3 Scores are out
I have not made much of the K3's obvious advantages over the D7100 amongst others... like what ? Shoots Faster Not half made of space plastic (No debate it's been done to death!) HDR RAW Three-motor mechanism which allows independent control of the mirror, shutter and diaphragm (It just doesn't s...

Shoots at 8.3 fps as opposed to 6 or seven if you crop, Strike one! All metal chassis/body look it up instead of going off half cocked! http://www.ricoh-imaging.co.jp/english/products/k-3/feature/04.html It's near the bottotm of the page if you can be bothered. Strike 2! Higher mag viewf...

Hi Richard, nice to see you back! My reasons for buying a K-3 were possibly different to many other people's considerations. I had the money available, so that's was not really a primary driver, although I do like to get VFM! I was not at all happy with my Mk1 K-5 due to poor focussing in some si...

Jules Pentax have made progress with the k3 but not for £1099.00 i do think they could have done more for the money. The k52s looking that and the k3 well I would say its just upgrade yes that’s what it is a upgrade by adding 2 card slots and 24mp there really is not a lot between them both. ...

For me it's the camera's interface. Can I find the menu items where I expect them to be? I've tried Canon and they weren't, never tried Nikon. I went back to Pentax so I could use my old film era lenses if I wished, but could never understand the lack of a 36x24 sensor in a body that seemed designed...

Ok I wasn't going to come back to this thread but I feel the need. Firsty, I wanted to cry Troll the first time the guy responded to me but felt that this forum was not the place where that sort of thing would happen, strong debate yes but not trolling, so I let it ride. The abuse I was then given ...

I wouldn't be too concerned about the personal slants. I would just assume that the protagonist wasn't actually an rather a forum member hiding behind an alter alias and just let it be water off a duck's back. You have to feel a bit sorry for anyone who insults you but is too insecure to tell yo...

I've a K30 and I'm really impressed at how well it recovers both shadow and highlight detail - it's miles better than my K7 was. While the 14 bit on a K5 should be able to recover some more at either end, I really wouldn't see it as a selling point - I'm sufficiently impressed by the implementation ...

K3 not auto focussing with two Sigma lenses in live view
Any other K3 owners experienced this ? K3 when in Live View mode will not auto focus a Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 EX DG HSM or a Sigma 70-200 f2.8 EX DG APO HSM Macro II. Hunts 4 times then stops out of focus. These lenses work just fine in View Finder mode, and all my other AF lenses work properly in bot...

K3 not auto focussing with two Sigma lenses in live view
I think you can send the lens back to Sigma and have it rechipped for the new camera. They might charge you for it, worth contacting Sigma I would have thought. Regards Jeff

K3 not auto focussing with two Sigma lenses in live view
To let you all know that Sigma did provide the fix. After sending my lenses via Parcel Force recorded and insured delivery for £28 I received the lenses back a week later for a charge of £5. They now auto focus in live view on the K3 and still work okay with the K5. Big thumbs up for Sigma, big thum...

AP review of the K-3
I think given the current situation it's pretty fair, we don't know what conditions it was tested under though I suppose but you would expect them to try to have a look at the low light performance at least I guess. Regards the rest of the Pentax AF conudrum, what I'll say is, we are not going to b...

AP review of the K-3
Regards the rest of the Pentax AF conudrum, what I'll say is, we are not going to be able to quantify it against another marqus performance until both are tested with the same lens IE a third party one, (Not so easy either given the lack of support in the third party world at the moment!) so that th...

Nope, you send me the Lenses Mike! This guy used to post a bit about Pentax and he's back, probably not to Smeggys taste but anyway he lieks em and uses em, he's just binned his 5DMKIII for a K3... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QLpVqb2vrA

AP review of the K-3
It has always confused me why with each demo camera, Pentax does not send along a choice set of primes and zooms. The camera would come back, so would the lenses, what is the issue? A lens may go missing every now and again, fair enough, mark the reviewers card for next time round and write it off a...
