Canon and Nikon users will still say the K-3 sucks if for no other reason than it doesnt say Canon or Nikon on it.

Funny -- just went to the link http://www.us.ricoh-imaging.com/dslr/K-3_#!product-specs ... and it said 'page not found' ... also there's no K-3 shown on their product page ... this is as of Monday Oct 7, 12:30 PM in California.

Now imagine if they had the ISO range expandable to 50 and 102,400 and had a built in astrotracer function.

At the other end of the range, it seems like 51200 is now a standard ISO value. I wonder if it's better than in the K-5? I've never even tried it since I think 12800 looks bad enough.

Then you're not doing it right

K-5 ISO12800

The original looks a smidge too grainy to print IMO. If those aliens would hold still long enough you could set up a tripod and put it on 80 ISO for a useable print.

27 AF points/sensors, 24 Mp, dual card slots, 8.3 FPS, 100% FOV.... this is all I have to say about that:

A mod should update the first post to let members know of why 404 error.

Anyone looking to buy a 1D X? I think I need to return to Pentax!

Pre-production test model. Should not raise suspicion in public and be easily mistaken with a regular K5.

Ricoh could easily fix this, make the "Pentax" on the front displayed with LED's and make an option to change that to Canon or Nikon via user menu
