Now that I've bought a K-1 It's just been discontinued

Seems very odd discontinuing it before releasing a K-1ii
Word will just spread that it's no longer available.

That's the K-1 not K-3ii which is also no more and hasn't got a replacement.

It could be that the new model is to allow a price hike. It's the only way they have to survive.

Good bird photographers such as this guy know how to use Pentax cameras properly....

I hope they bring out a ' K-1ii Video Super' The only difference from the K-1 being it has 'State of the Art Video' facilities good enough to bury every other camera that claims to also do video.

It will create the longest moan threads on ALL Pentax forums with people grumbling that they don't want video and will never use it and will not buy the ' K-1ii Video Super' even if it is the last camera on earth

Looks like price increases are the way to go

Hardly a fair post on a Pentax site comparing their lenses to a Nikon 400mm f/2.8 that is only affordable if you buy SECOND-HAND!!!

Excellent tipple

Cheers

That certainly helps

Buy an Intel CPU.... AMD are too slow for PS.

Any with under 100secs on this Benchmark will do....

It's worth getting one that doesn't have the recently reported hacking problem. Might not be on that list.

Are Ricoh being clever here? I didn't want a FF, but didn't like any of the APS-C cameras as a replacement for my K-5 ..... I eventually gave in and bought a K-1. Not really happy, but it's the only path that was available. I still don't think I need FF

So we may not see a K-3ii replacement, but then again Ricoh have a strange way of working so we might! They may move into exercise videos....... Lifting a FF camera + big lens above your head for 5 mins a day keeps you fully fit

Probably tied to what task the camera does i.e. detecting flaws in printed circuits or too many bubbles in bar of Aero

The low res cameras can work at faster fps plus the CCD's are different sizes so lens coverage will be different..
