Windows 8 rt is stripped down, windows 8 on the surface pro is the full version which runs all windows 8 software including all adobe latest products

The new ones have just been announced so hopefully the existing surface pro will fall in price soon

You need more AF points to have good AF tracking though don't you? More than the current 11, anyway!
The new one reportedly has 27 AF points, surely that's enough for general use. For tracking AF maybe it's necessary, or not. My brother's old canon used to track very well with only three AF points.
I guess it depends how close together the af points are though too. if they are all close to the centre point like the d600 then surely that defeats the object of adding more sensor points.

Hi johnathon.

I have been looking at getting a 655n to play with. Can you tell me how do you scan your negs or do you get them put onto cd at processing?

I wish they'd hurry up and release this camera so everyone can get over it and start arguing about the next one instead!

With the very short time I had, the new camera is a cracking bit of kit, in the same sense as the Nikon D7100, Canon 70D or Sony A77, in which the new camera fits into that segment.

Hmm this doesn't bode well for Pentax unless they can get really competitive with price.

Prices from WEX

Sony A77 £729
Pentax k-5 iis £769
Nikon D7100 £839
Canon 70d £1079

To be competitive the price for the k-3 needs to be between Canon and the k-5 2s which is £919, if as Matty says its in the £1000s i.e over £1000 it really needs to be technologically better than the 70d and I just cannot see that...

I am guessing a pre production model will come with all sorts of caveats, talking about it being one of them.

I thought this was an old post revived from 2011 at first.

Wonder if the K-3 will be on show? It's rumored to be announced on October 8th, the day before the event at SRS.

My k-5 has literally become a lens carrier, in si far as i carry two bodies and when i want to use the other lens i take it of the mki and put it in the mkii. That's how much use my mki gets nowadays...
