I can't comment on the D300 Jules as I've never used one.

My D7000 only ever has a 70-200mm f/2.8 VR on it and works very very well. If I put my Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 on the K5 it does not come close as far as tracking and AF speed. I get great results from my Pentax's for long exposures if and when I do that type of shot.

Joe blogs won't even ask what brand the imaging sensor is and just as well as the sales person probably won't know or even care.
Most camera owners out there are not passionate about photography just as the majority of people who listened to music at home were not HiFi buffs.
Wow & flutter may as well have been a dance move, THD was probably an offshoot of LSD and RMS was possibly a ship.

I had wondered also if the screw drive approach has any delay issues over other systems, and as such if that's been contributing to why Pentax has the AF performance issue when compared to other brands.
No, it's not the reason. I use screw drive lenses on FF and they are still very fast AF. I'll know next month if the K3 is an improvement.I had wondered also if the screw drive approach has any delay issues over other systems, and as such if that's been contributing to why Pentax has the AF performance issue when compared to other brands.

I didn't buy a K5II as I didn't see the point. The K3 is different enough but again I don't need one. However, the Ltd edition is attractive and I see it as worth owning.Mike-P wrote:

Ideal time to get a K3 then ... can't see anything in your way now. My Lens deal has fallen thru Mike! Now I've just over £600 in the bank festering and a spare BG4 grip too, Heeeelpp!!!

In Australia the Ltd package includes: Silver Battery Grip, Special Strap, Extra Lithium Ion Battery and a BONUS: 8GB Flucard pro wireless SD card.
Thanks to the exchange rate and tax free shopping it has just cost me 850 pounds. So I look forward to seeing the postman in November.

A good thread. So who will step up and pen the ideal sales pitch? You have a K5, K5II and K5 IIs on the shelf with a poster on the wall showing the K3 .
A potential sale has just walked into the shop and asks your advice on the Pentax K5 range and also adds a query about the K3.
What do you explain to the person to secure a sale?

Quicker, more accurate AF, with tracking, is the one thing I've been waiting a long time for. If they still haven't provided it, I don't think I have the patience to await yet another generation.
I do agree with you Chris which is why I also use Nikon. I should have said "those who don't want a different brand" should not be disappointed.K10D wrote:
I can't agree there. If the AF turns out to be no improvement, or even if no substantial improvement, I'll be moving to Nikon.Russ wrote:

I didn't wait and bought into Nikon FF back in May 2009. Never regretted it. I don't shoot with cheap glass though so there is a cost factor.

Our sensor benefactor has just announced two FF mirror less interchangeable lens cameras. 24Mpx and 36Mpx resp. If Ricoh do launch a FF I am guessing that it may use one of those sensors.
The end of 2013 is getting to be interesting. 2014 could be a good year for photographers.
