nice when it gets dark

You got the K-52 numbers wrong there... it does -3 also.

This camera is so good...

it'll take 5 years for me to need it, I guess. =))

It does. It does indeed.

Please don't let this be a typo.

It looks like it does not have focus peaking.

The K-50 spec page says "Focus peaking: Yes" in the "Focus System" panel:
PENTAX - K-50 Custom Colors

while the K-3 spec page doesn't:
PENTAX - K-3

Dual Slots!!! YEAH

But flash specs is somewhat disapointing to me to. I hoped for a radio wireless option like Canon done with their 6d. But a faster and more sensitive AF, like it seens it have, is a veeeeeeery welcome thing. Now I'll drop once and for all the need for a brand change

Oh come on, more omissions... I guess this is one thing one can live without, just wait for the K-70 with that feature if you want to use mainly manual glass

YES! And 14-bit - Wow!

No BMPCC needed for me now.

All the wide angle angst disappears with this Pentax goodness!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

So the only thing left for me is:

Is the shutter as quiet as the k-5?

I have 2 AF lenses and more than 15 manual lens

Maybe it has focus peeking maybe not. There nothing about any prime III or any other image processor in there, but is is bound to have one.

not according to the specs on the pentax us site

Excited about everything aside from the flash sync. Wish that would have been improved. Looks Luke a killer camera. The fact it uses K5 batteries is just full of awesome. This was done right m'thinks

RAW video... and I thought it was just misplaced quality levels on the JPEG settings.
