Another good review for the K-3

From a Canon shooter!
I particularly like the AF comments.
Review

Although this review is quite short, it is also very interesting. There are some notable omissions, for example it mentions nothing about noise levels or high ISO performance, but the most interesting part is that the reviewer rates the AF performance very highly, including the tracking capability. For someone used to using high end DSLR's from the main brands that's very encouraging. I can't comment on the tracking performance or the comparative speed against Canon or Nikon bodies, but it is obvious after using the K-3 for a couple of weeks that the AF is faster than previous bodies (especially with screw drive lenses) and it is very accurate.

Note to myself - must stop reading K-3 reviews.

There's not a lot not to like about the K-3. There do seem to be some differing opinions about the AF though. I agree with this one that it's fast, but AP seem to think it's not slow but not that fast. However, they were trying it with generally slower lenses.

I think also it may well depend on the settings used. We can choose focus priority or release priority and I would always use centre point only. Others will have their own preferences.

Your not making it any easier John.

For me Tom, the only problem is justifying the £2000 it will cost for two of them, his and hers.

If we do a wedding, we can't have two different levels of definition in the images depending upon who shot what. They have to be the same.

Believe me - they won't notice! When I think of some of the very average wedding photos I've seen the families drool over I wouldn't lose any sleep over it

John will like this quote from the second review and I agree!
"Life is too short to start looking for moiré."

I can feel that very much dcweather, I spent quite long enough looking for moire!

Bear in mind this review (the B&H Photo one) is on a camera shop's website. I doubt they'd be putting up one that said "The AF is a bit disappointing", it's hardly going to help sell the camera.

Anyway, is it just me, or are the first few photos on there suffering from a huge amount of colour fringing?
