Gives you a good 6 months to save and means you will miss the early adopters premium. Apparently Pentax is really appreciated in Iceland though and anyone sporting a new model is likely to get moved up to first class.

Yes, I'm getting it for better airshow performance, (AF-C, fps, etc), among other things.I've been following this thread with interest along with others. My main subject is aviation, this looks like everything that I've been waiting to see from a Pentax DSLR...shame the season ends on Sunday though

(I was disappointed in the Saturday of the main Duxford airshow, and I'm giving the Autumn Show a miss).

I thought it was just so blatantly obvious that I was messing around (see focus on static fast jet parked up at airfield) that the post didn't need a smiley.Well all the wildlife photographers moan about it including me.

Clearly I missed the pic for some reason. You both have a bit of a streak in you don't you?

Yes there is. Probably not enough for me personally to warrant the outlay on two K-3s to replace my two K-5s. I had considered selling both K-5s to get one K-3, but then I can't underestimate the value of having two bodies with different lenses on for the type of shoots I do

The k-3 is a much faster machine, the d610 is exactly the same as the d600 with the sensor stain problem fixed so has a nearly year old processing system, only shoots at 4.5 fps and the d600 / d610 can only focus down to -1 ev.cabstar wrote:

The wifi and wireless tethering are something pentax has been missing for a long time.
Im really having a tough time deciding which way to go which is why price is so important. I like the new features and have been asking for them repeatedly over the last year. I really needed the full frame for my low light work and I can get a d600 for £1249 from currys but the low light focussing capabilities of pentax are tugging at me so the k-3 needs to be priced below a £1000 for me to stay....
