Right lets get the rumour mill rollin... K3 II
Always bought bodies new when the price fell to the right level and always sold on losing around £100 as I kept my bodies for approx two years then they roughly cost me a pound a week and where always covered by warranty :-) @Cabstar I wish I had gotten that advice a lot earlier as my camera buying ...

Right lets get the rumour mill rollin... K3 II
I'm guessing that it will not have a new sensor just one simlar to what is in the new Nokoff D7200? I just haven't seen any blurb on any radically new Sony APSC sensors recently and something usually leaks out, so that may be the disappointment alluded to in the other forum, all I know is that it is...

Right lets get the rumour mill rollin... K3 II
Apparently Thursday is the day we may hear about the camera. According to posters on Pentaxforums it's going to have everything from a teasmade to a kitchen sink. :roll: . Personally I'm thinking better AF module with more points, a different (still 24MP) sensor and a few other enhancements such...

Right lets get the rumour mill rollin... K3 II
Ah well .... a bit underwhelming. K-3 II of specs - 24MP CMOS sensor (low-pass-less) - Improved ant-moire function - shutter 4.5 stages of the effects of camera shake correction - The high-resolution image by pixel shift. Low noise excellent color reproduction and detail. - 86000 pixel RGB m...

Finally GPS built in! I've been saying this for years and it will give Astrotracing built into the camera, and restore Pentax to leading the way on what you can do with the sensor shift tech. The add on GPS product is unnecessarily expensive. Full HD video at 60fps (assuming progressive capture...

Right lets get the rumour mill rollin... K3 II
Last I heard from the Ricoh interview was that the high res mode did nothing to improve the image. They had it working but it didn't give you anything, other than a higher res picture for say printing large, but no more 'clarity'. That said, if you remember that video recently showing image stac...

Canon will be releasing several 50+mp full-frames by then, I'm hoping the Pentax won't enter the MP wars, and will instead favour low light/High ISO/Low noise characteristics. I personally don't see this happening, but it would be nice to see in my opinion. Nokia already do a 41MP cell phone, re...

K3II specs leaked online...
It all seems far too niche to me to make marketing sense. Yeah it will be interesting to see the sales figures on this one. There's really not much different about it from the earlier K-3. GPS and a better gyro sensor, plus the pixel shift option. Whereas Olympus gives a huge MP output file f...

K3II specs leaked online...
Bigger isn't better, only better is better. If we need to upgrade our PCs and preferred RAW software just so that we can work with these bigger files, then that's not better, that's unhelpful. I look forward to improvements and advancements, current features which are better from continued dev...

Pentax K-3 II - Pre-order offer!
I can't find it in the spec. Does it have the same method of the filter via the sensor shake? Does that make sense? CHEERS Vic.

Pixel Shift FYI
Just in case people were wondering, it would seem the image chain in the new K3II is the same (Similar) as the original, I doubt Ricoh would be daft enough to allow the Pixel Shift to K3 "Classic" owners but you never know??? From : Falk Lumo "Found this under specs/Shutter type on the website...

K3 II AF...
Pentax has not been particularly proactive in pushing these sorts of improvements down the chain. The high res mode seems an easy addition to any camera with capable hardware, which is like down to the k100d. It would be interesting to see if this eventuates as a firmware update or not. Other b...

Pentax's implementation is to move the RGBG filter separate to the sensor. Not sure that's a requirement. Probably done by moving the whole sensor 1 pixel - then each physical pixel position will be exposed to each of the colours. Matt

In answer to Vics question above, the K5iis has no AA filter, therefore it is permanently 'off'. The k3 also has no physical filter but the sensor shake system provides a 'simulated' aa filter effect, and that can be switched on and off, as well as in two degrees of strength. I believe the new K...

I've asked this question in another thread but so far no answer. Does the K3ii have the same switch on, switch off filter system? You know the one I mean. The same filter that the K5ii has, but the K5iis doesn't have. I think it's called the AA filter. Does that all make sense? CHEERS Vic. Exactl...

And will the raw file of the co-sited RGB pixels be understood by Adobe Camera Raw? I'm not sure they've really understood the Fuji X-Trans sensor array yet.

Before the K3II was announced I had a such a model in mind as a possible upgrade for some time in the future, but the lack of an inbuilt flash is causing doubts. Having just learned the use of the flash to trigger an off-camera flashgun the same scenario would require a second unit involving more ex...

I await with interest the independent reviews as to the effectiveness of the new sensor and as importantly for me how good the autofocus is compared to Canon. It's not a new sensor apparently, exactly the same one as in the K-3.
