Should Pentax come with an update for the Pentax K-5 II in spring to make the cameraline more complete? As off now there are 4 dslr's in line with K-500, K-50, K-5 II and K-3. Pentax could drop or fase out the K-5 II, but could also run the line off 4 camera's (maybe topping it with a FF K-1).
K-5 III
- Keep the current body from K-5 II and the D-GB4 grip.
- Keep the 16 megapixel sensor.
- PRIME III processor.
- Safox 11 AF-module.
- Framerate of 7 fps with the 100k shutter.
- One SD card.
- USB 3.0 port instead of USB 2.0
- New 86k RGB metering system.
- Sensor only with AA-filter.
- Videospecs from K-3, but no headphone jack.
- Pentaprism as in the K-5 II.
I think that would be a great camera in line-up. Basicly only updating the electronics inside with the PRIME III, Safox 11 AF-module, new metering system and USB 3.0 port.
Do you think this would be a good idea for expanding the camera line-up or just be a bad way to undercut the K-3 market?
