i think the rev was refering to the k3ii not having a built in flash davidstu62 wrote:

Both the K-3 and the K-5iis are very good in low light. The original K-5 is not so good, but this is nothing to do with the sensor. The AF on the original K-5 cannot cope in low light, so if you are considering a K-5, make sure it's a K-5ii or a K-5iis.the k3ii is more than capable in low light i have found

Is the K1 really significantly heavier than a K3?
David[/quote]the awnser to that is no
it is when you start putting the new lenses on that you start to notice but then the lenses are a lot bigger so a lot more glass
i just have to con the wife now so i can have one

[quote:3496ace15f="bwlchmawr"]Except for the young, strong/or super-dedicated, the K1 might be best used close to a flat surface or a car. Brilliant for studio use where a tripod could take the strain but for travel and landscapes where any walking is involved, the weight and bulk might mar the enjoyment a little.
One thing I read which I hadn't considered, is the need for macro enthusiasts to use, say, a 105mm lens rather than a 50mm to preserve camera/subject distance. Also the need for even smaller apertures to maintain depth of field. I reckon there might be a of of learning to do as most of us have been used to APSC sized sensors for years. 50mm lenses are nice for portraits with a K5 but might be too short for the new camera.
Interesting times. I can't wait to see what wonderful pictures the wealthy early adopters take.[/quote
if i remeber right most portraits on 35 mm was done with a 75 mm so i would think it would be the same with the k1
don get me wrong about the weight the weight of the k1 is on par with the k3 and k3ii its when you start putting those lenses on you start to notice it as they are pretty big with a lot of glass areas

welcome rev
i would think the almighty will guide you in the right direction (joking aside)
the k3 and k3iiare totally diferant beast to the likes of the k10
and the k1 is a differen animal again
dont get me wrong it is nice to hold ver fast at focusing in and even when panning she still seemed to focus in well and that was through a shop window
yes there is some tweeks to do on the k1 as the firm wear is not finished on it yet i think it may well be the lx equivalntof the dsl world

Even the K5ii is proving a bit of a burden since dislocating both elbows, and having a frozen shoulder.
Yes I find that my heavy kit does not get much use. That's why the K1 + 28-105 is so attractive to me. I can always put a small fast prime in the side of the bag for extra flexibility without too much bulk.Well that just decided it for me. Even if I could afford one I couldn't carry one.
