K3 v KP

tperris · 2017-03-01T21:07:13+0000

On Friday of this week a local dealer is running a `demo day` for the KP, a chance to see and feel the new camera. The dealer is very close to me so am tempted to go. A bit soon I know but has anyone any thoughts about the merits or otherwise of switching from the K3 to the KP?

That might change if Pentax were to give the K-3 line mechanical SR back, but somehow I don't see them doing that.

They've recently said they're going to do this, it seems it is just switched off in the firmware (what were they thinking!!)
Their thoughts were the sensor shake could be heard in the recordings, but no big deal if you are not using live sound, and in any event it could be eradicated in sound processing as when removing the crackle and hiss in old vinyl records if it is an issue.
