Just been looking on the SRS site and it looks like Canon are also increasing prices, their 70-200mm IS USM lens is now an eye watering £1959. SRS don't seem to stock many Canon lenses either particularly when compared to Pentax range

Comparing similar lenses with Pentax

DA* 16-50mm £899 Nikon 17-55 2.8 £1099
DA 50mm 1.8 £119 Nikon 50mm 1.8 £109 Canon 50mm 1.8 £89
FA 50mm 1.4 £289 Nikon 50mm 1.4 £279

so I don't think there is much difference in price at the lower end of the scale, get into high end and Pentax still have the edge...

I knew that, the guy at the guardian said he had his permission to reprint at the guardian, which shows just how easy it is for work to get lost and even to become an orphan...

I'm not saying or implying it's was my work, and by linking to the original article I'm giving the original author the credit for the work, aren't I??
And the inclusion of 5 share buttons next to the article, not only implies, but encourages the reader to share his work.
Totally different from an image taken from, say, google and used as the person see's fit with no credit or mention of the owner/photographer.
I love the irony of this, you where meaning to be ironic where you? You do realise you used one of the excuses given in that list lol... The same excuse where you give the photographer a credit

The share button is to give the link to Facebook users not give you permission to reprint the whole thing lol...

If the high iso noise had been the same as the k-5 then that wouldn't have been so bad but worse, we're back to k-7 issues.

i can see all the benefits of all the other k-3 improvements but shouldn't we be seeing a constant improvement in high iso noise? The k-5 is three years old and the new model has worse iso noise, that's a backwards step in my opinion, despite the pixel race...

The 24 megapixel sensor and noise was the deciding factor on me not jumping early on the k-3 and I think I made the right decision to wait....
