I'll pay the postage to take your K3 off you in a year's time then
Thanks Dave.

The K3 was not bought for work or much use, just a collectable. It arrived on my desk this morning so I'll post a few images later today.

Best regards

Academic question for me at this stage but if you got one in Oz can you get it repaired in Europe by Pentax under the warranty?
Dave
Maybe, maybe not? I won't be in the Europe long enough to worry about it and certainly don't give quarter to "peace of mind" with two year warranties etc.

Your actually paying for that with UK prices compared to other countries who still give one year cover. If I bought in the UK, I would still have to send kit back there for repair. A camera is worthless after a years heavy use.

To date I have never had to claim on faulty kit of any brand.

Sounds good Jules. Mine may arrive soon as I've heard that the Ltd's have started to ship.

I'm not too bothered about flash metering as I gave up using flash with Pentax some time back. Auto fill flash in bright daylight can't cut it.

I'm still not convinced it's worth more than a K5 II at the UK prices.

Best to wait a bit, in a years time the K3 will be under eight hundred quid!
As it is for me it's worth it even though the nearly five hundred quid difference is to me a ton of money!
The K3 is already under 800 pounds in Australia Jules, a body only is 770 pounds. Less 69 if you claim back GST (sales tax) so can be as low as 701 pounds.

Impressive.
I agree and as long as the subject remains static, every shot will be sharp. Just keep the ISO setting low and it will be noise free as well. Roll on the 36MP APS-C K2.

Ricoh Rocks!

All good actually but the K3 is not a must have camera. The big advantage is that the K5 II/s prices will drop. NOW is the time to get one of these.

I do agree about the shutter noise. My FF bodies are somewhat louder than my K5. I can of course bring out the 645 which makes a FF seem quiet and a friend here who uses a 6x7 can make everything else seem quiet.

To date though, I have yet to have anyone comment on the noise from any of my cameras.

Its two lenses. link

The 20-40mm will only be $1,000 so superb value for money for this must have focal range optic.
