Seems the only difference is the size of the metal pegs. I guess someone with a chinese copy will soon be cutting off the peg thats too fat for the k-3 soon

Sorry i bored you shaun with why i am in a quandary.
If you want full frame badly then swap systems as pentax arent going to release a full frame body fir at least a year now, but to get a full frame with the specs of the k-3 you are going to have to get a 5d mkiii because apart from the ff sensor the d610 cant compete against the k-3.

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:

I find this very disappointing really hoping for FF not much different to the the k5iis, and lets be truthful who gives a crap about wi fi or gps ??
Apart from the ff theres lots of improvement over the k-5 mkiiI find this very disappointing really hoping for FF not much different to the the k5iis, and lets be truthful who gives a crap about wi fi or gps ??
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....

SRS are also offering a £100 part exchange bonus, so there's your £999.00 right at launch.
They also offered me a reasonable amount for my k-5 mki against a k-3 but as i am not in a rush this time i will try the classified first.
