Well, it seems this river is really this vivid blue ... The K3 gives the same tint.
Lens: DA 55-300 mm HD Camera: Pentax K3 Photo Location: Quebec, CANADA 
Posted By: RICHARD L., 04-29-2020, 02:20 PM

I went back to take new pictures of the Batiscan River today. This time I took along my Pentax K3, the DA 55-300 mm HD and my Manfrotto tripod. The first picture was taken @ 190 mm FL and f/16. The second one @ 55 mm FL and f/11.The results on the K3 (24 Mpx) seem a little bit less sharp than on the K20 (14.6 Mpx) but the color of the water is practically the same. The pictures were taken from the exact same location on a bright sunny day with the sky color being reflected by the water surface. So, I guess, the K20 rendering of blue was not that far off after all. This water is very pure as the upper reaches of the watershed are forested and pretty much undisturbed.

I think I see some extra MP in there as well. Nice and crisp.

Nature will do that to you.

But apart from that, how about that K-3 AF and FPS compared to the K20D?
