If you look on the page just below the results there is a "BestMatch" - Unbiased Personal Camera Recommender.
Put in your needs and see what comes out, it's quite fun, I did it and guess what, it came up with the K3! No cheating now!
If it came out with a Ricoh/Pentax it must be pretty unbiased...

Canon EOS 7D Mark II (although the K-3 was a recommended alternative!)

I think I'll stick with my K-5iiS - it feels nicer than the Canons.

Better not tell my 2 mates who use Nikons. Wish I had not bothered doing the stupid test.
Confused from Northumberland.

It recommended a 7D mkii to me but as that is not a lightweight camera I won't be getting one. Funny it didn't recommend the 100D.....

Oh dear, I had one of them!
It's just a bit of fun...
Just for kicks, this is what I actually entered and they scored the K3 thus:
Photography type (Scores are out of 100)
Landscape 85

I skipped advanced photography types because I don't do any of the catagories involved any more...

Specific characteristics
Best image quality 100
Small as possible 40
Large prints 100
Weather sealed 100
Video not important x

If I left out weather sealed I got a Sony RX100!
Hmm RX100...

Nikon DF. Suits me, sir.
(But I'd really rather have a Sony a6000. Or a Nikon 810.)
Best wishes,

Andrew
