If you look on the page just below the results there is a "BestMatch" - Unbiased Personal Camera Recommender.
Put in your needs and see what comes out, it's quite fun, I did it and guess what, it came up with the K3! No cheating now!
If it came out with a Ricoh/Pentax it must be pretty unbiased...

I'm a left hander and don't find any issues with "right handed" cameras - there's a role for both hands, but nothing so complex as to make as to make it difficult for the non-dominant hand.
On a slightly different point, I am left-eyed and that puts my nose on the edge of the screen or on the buttons to the right of it.

There have been left handed cameras in the past. The Exakta system of SLRs was very extensive and was left handed. Long gone though.
Perhaps someone who's left handed could comment? Is it a problem or just a minor niggle or no problem at all?
Really does not come into the equation in any meaningful way, well not anymore at least, if it ever did!
The only problem I do have is that I put my left eye over the viewfinder which seems a bit wrong somehow but I have no idea if thats because I'm a leftie?

Hands on, Just to tempt Mike-P into a pre-order for both!

No doubt Ricoh will respond...
Be interesting to see Ricoh-Pentax's reaction to the forthcoming Nikon D7200 too, wonder if it may bring the K3 update sooner or maybe not until the Winter/Spring 2016 timescale, as they've got a pretty full plate at the moment. Also there is a new factory in China to assemble printers, mostly all in one but they seem to want to take on Canon amongst others in that market too, from the little I have been able to find out ...
Beasts like this maybe???

Well, looks like I'm leaving Pentax for a Nikon Df
That said, bet you could Alan, dunno about the rest of us mortals though
