Nothing special, admittedly. One of the first shots with my new K-3. Upgrade from a K-50 [Thanks to SRS Microsystems' recent trade in bonus]. So far, so good; but still got to sort out how the various AF modes work. The only negative would be the battery lock lever. Seems a bit flimsy to me, and might be easily snapped off.

I don't think you need to worry about the battery lock lever Rob, I've never heard of one failing and mine is 18 months old now without a hint of an issue.

Hope you like your K-3, it's a stonking camera.
