The K3 is official at least as early as 7AM Monday Eastern Standard Time. It is listed on the Ricoh/Pentax official website with full specifications.

(ricoh-imaging). BUT, cannot yet order one from their website. AND, thank goodness, it uses the same battery as the K5 etc.

PENTAX - K-3

Lightograph · 10-07-2013, 04:38 AM

Specs look wow! but for high speed flash sync speed. Pentax is still hanging on to180, It would have been super had pentax addressed this as well. But I wonder is there a reason why Pentax didn't address this?

The K3 is not yet listed on B&H, BUT, if you hurry, you can still get a K50 in pink and violet. Make a statement!

BTW: I notice that interchangeable screens will again be available. Wonder what styles will be offered. Hope there's a microprism suitable for macro work, or maybe one suitable for long teles that have manual focus.

The specs list the same focusing screens that have been used since the K-7, so I expect nothing much to change there. I'm ok with that because that means my (expensive) KatzEye will still fit.

I don't think they care. It's the one thing that really pissed me off when I was shooting in nightclubs when I lived in Myrtle Beach, SC. I guess you can't have everything.
