As a cricket lover myself.. I can see an advantage in the K1 to help blur the background. Having more megapixels will help with the crops too. Which rather evens out the longer lens reach arguement.. If money isnt an issue then this would be a good acquistion alongside the K3 you already own. But personally I still think another K3 makes a good argument.. If only when swapping cameras the buttons are still in the same place...

Interesting article. Though I really do think this only applies if your shooting rapid fire. Im surprised to see Sandisk down the list. Ive never had a problem with any brand of card reading quickly enough. But I have had a few cases of my K5ii damaging the plastic cases of the Sd Card. Having had to return several of them under warranty. I have found all Manufacturers to be excelent in this regard.

NB. For Sandisk it does not state the actual card they are using. As the Extreme pro comes in different speeds up to 240Mbs. The recovery software is also only on a trial basis.

You havnt said what your photo subject is.... But that's a host of long lenses... So I deduce your not a landscaper. So in my opininion another K3 or K3ii would make a good arguement.

G'day Possum....!!

Dont mean to be rude.. But why didnt you choose the AF540fgz and use TTL mode.. Surely that would have been quicker and simpler... ?

Thanks Nigel for the new trigger info... Thinking all my chrismases have finally arrived....lol

Camera mags.. Who buys camera mags, these days ? Or shops in high street stores for that matter.. The internet is the place to be..!! But Pentax arn't there either. Even the great review Tony Northrop gave the K1. He had to lone the camera from a friend. I'm sorry. But I agree Pentax/Ricoh are doing very little to tempt new users. The only people buying the K1 are existing users that want to go full frame.. Poor sales also means no third party equipment back up.

very well executed... An impressive photographer with an impressive piece of kit...

Love 17 and 19. But the whole set is fabulous... Restores my faith in Pentax...
