The new standard of performance - K3 shoot.
K3 vs D600
Can anyone explain to me how a photographer can take a shot of a living, breathing dog, swap cameras and then take another from exactly the same location, without the dog having moved a hair?
Thoughts? Is this a spoof?

The viewpoints are very slightly different - guess both shots were taken side by side simultaneously.

Usually these kind of shots are done side by side with a wireless remote which will trigger both cameras at the same time

The viewpoints are pretty much exactly the same and I agree with Andrew, there's something odd about this comparison.
I have two dogs and it is of course possible to get them to "lock on target" by holding a treat up, but I know from experience trying to photograph them like that they will move if you do something in their peripheral vision like moving or swapping a camera.

The k3 is looking great in comparison to the d600. They should have opened the lens up a stop or two to make the dof more equal ;P

If you click on each photo, you get a 100% view. Have a close look at the area around the dog's eye. They look identical to me - so must have been taken at the same instant. Whether there is enough difference in viewpoint for them to have been taken by cameras side by side is moot - possibly.
The EXIF is intact on the full size versions.
-------- STOP PRESS ----------
There is an update to the article this morning. It says that the dogs (both) just stayed very still - and that was a fluke. If I interpret it correctly, it also says that the shutters of the two cameras were fired separately, not simultaneously.
Curiouser and curiouser .........

If you open both images side by side you can see slight differences in the position of the boxer's ears snout etc, as well as, obviously, the different depth of field on the 85mm lens vs the 55mm.

taken from the same spot. So a very rigid tripod with a fast
QR must have been used.
They are both 24MB cameras so I wouldn't expect much difference
in sharpness. You can't really compare 3D images from 2 cameras
they will never be focussed on the same point and +/- 7mm can
make a big difference.
The bokeh which really depends on the lens used even though
the D600 will have more OOF pixels looks better to me with
the Pentax 55mm which is a surprise considering the other lens
is an 85mm which usually has nice bokeh.
If you were to make screen sized files I wouldn't think there
would be much difference between K-5.... K-3 and D600

Very interesting. Particularly as D600 price is down to the same level I noticed today.
It should drop more as its officially discontinued.
Best regards

There's 15 secs. between the two dog shots and they are both
taken from the same spot. So a very rigid tripod with a fast
QR must have been used.
Alternatively, the photographer might have had both bodies hanging around his neck, and just took a shot with one after another without taking a step.

Agreed.
The overall images from the K3 are nicer in terms of exposure and colour. The D600 is a hair better in terms of sharpness and noise at 100%, but nothing you'd spot in a screen sized image or even a large print I'm sure.
