A few years back I drove all the way from Edinburgh to the RSPB site just north of Aviemore, and it was only when first turning on the camera I found that I'd forgotten to bring a memory card.
One reason I love having double SD card slots... This used to be such as problem that my wife took to carrying a spare SD card in her handbag in case I had (yet again) left mine in the computer.

Another advantage of the K3 III is the ability to use Av mode with older manual lenses. I think you may have just one or two of the latter John !
I'll second this point. The K-3iii makes using older lenses so much easier than any of my previous Pentax digitals. I've not owned any of the 5 series though.

I will say, however, that the most annoying thing is having to go into the menus twice to set using a remote and using MLU or timer delay. As someone who uses tripod + MLU + remote regularly it is a little annoying. I could probably find someway of using one of the 1,428 different ways of having custom settings but I get a headache whenever I try to work through the manual to find out.

I have had a Pentax remote for 15+ years (I bought it with for my K10D) and it is still going on its original battery. I also have an app on my Huawei phone (called "smart remote", it came preinstalled) which I use most of the time now (I usually know where my phone is, I often mislay my remote!). The app is programmed to trigger both my Pentax and my wife's Nikon.

I also have a cabled release which I prefer when doing a lot of copy-stand work. I can loop the cable around the stand so the button is dangling somewhere obvious. I find the small remote gets lost under the other stuff on the table.

Dunno if that helps! K.

Especially love the first one. Silly o'clock is definitely the best time for photography.

I often saw potential beautiful pictures as I motorcycled to work in the morning with no time to stop...

Love the monochrome image, full of drama.
