The Pentax K-3 has been selected as the 'Best DSLR Expert' by the Technical Image Press Association (TIPA).
Pentax says the 'camera's exceptional, super-fine image quality, as well as its excellent reliability and outstanding operability' were the reasons behind the camera receiving the highest rating in the Best DSLR Expert category.
In its official product citation, TIPA said: "Developed by Ricoh Imaging as the flagship of the PENTAX K digital SLR camera series, the Pentax K-3 with 24MP APS-C CMOS sensor adds the unique “anti-aliasing simulator” to its low pass filter-less design. Housed in a weather-sealed magnesium alloy body, the camera can deliver 8.3 frames per second in bursts of 23 RAW or 60 JPEG images. Utilising the sensor-shift image stabilisation mechanism it adds a controllable “anti-moiré” effect. The K-3 delivers Full HD video with stereo sound and an upgraded interval movie mode for capturing 4K movie clips. It also incorporates a new PRIME III processor and 27-point SAFOX II AF system, with 25 cross-type sensors. The shutter is now rated at a robust 200,000 actuations."
