Pentax K3 / K3II info requested

Recommended Posts

I have been very happy with my 2 K-3 bodies for the last 4 years, but most of my work is in a studio. I chose the K-3 over the K-3 II because I didn't care about built in GPS or pixel shift that the K-3 II has the the original K-3 doesn't, and the K-3 bodies were $100 cheaper at the time. Pentax autofocus isn't considered "best of breed" in speed, but the K-3 is much better compared to earlier Pentax DSLRs. I have never really done serious wildlife photography, but while I am a long time mostly happy Pentax user I don't think that Pentax would be my first choice for this kind of work.

Thanks, @AJG - all my other kit is Pentax, and I don't want / can't afford (strike out whichever is inapplicable) to replace it with a whole new setup. Furthermore, at my age, it would probably take me longer than I have left to master a new system. Whatever I decide on, it's bound to be better than a K20D and a Tamron 70-300 lens !

If you have been satisfied with the K 20 you will love the K-3--I had a K 20 some time ago and the jump to a K-5 was a big one in every way, with the K-3 also being a significant upgrade over the K-5.
