Only slightly different from the K-5 it looks like. Interesting

i can't believe that they will launch it with a green color kitlens when they just switched to red rings around the lens

Red may be reserved for high end lenses.

If real, looks really nice to me

(the viewfinder chamber looks a little diferent... it's taller?)

looks like it maintains grip compatibility. What's up with the little hump and door under the K-3 badge? Like the k-50, it's a bit more generic looking than its predecessor.

Well, unless they don't want to sell it, they need to stick to the traditional kit zooms.

I just hope (too !) it gets both K-5 grip and battery...

how stupid not to change the color of the kitlens too.
we launch a new camera with an old lens.

Well looks like I will be holding back on my purchase of a K5IIs and 18-135mm lens......

Cheers, Steve

Also the wheel is different, that looks a little like the wheel from the K-7 with just three griprings.

Looks good enough for me. Honestly I don't care about the aesthetics of a camera if it does what I want (and doesn't draw too much attention).
Looking forward to hearing more!
