Originally posted by Nicolas06 Really depend who you are, I remember many guy switching from Pentax to Nikon due to AF performance. I remember one guy in particular he had K5, then K5-II because of the better AF... Then saw it was still significantly subpar compared to a D7100 and didn't want to to try the K3 that... is still worse than a D7100 even through it improved a lot. He brought the D7100 and it solved entirely its AF issues. He didn't have to buy the most expensive lenses neither.
It is not because you don't care of one feature and that I don't care much neither that it is useless and that nobody care or they just want it to compare it to K30... The base guy has no idea what a K30 is to begin with.
Which is precisely my point - they only read DXO or listen to salesmen. But the 'base guy' buys the vast bulk of the dSLR's made - the base of the pyramid - but you probably know that
Originally posted by Nicolas06 I suspect that for AF and tracking the latest pentax lenses with K3-II will not even match a sigma with a D7100/7200 not maybe in ultimate speed (moderately usefull) but in capacity to have the thing you want in focus really in focus on action/sport type of shootings.
You have no basis to make that statement. In a few months there will have been enough new lenses and enough K-3II's tested in the wild by both biased
and disinterested parties to begin to make qualified statements. Until then anything such as this is
at best ill-advised speculation or at worst intentional spreading of FUD.
It is also a straw man argument, since Pentax makes no claims to be a sports/action camera brand. The claim is to be a field camera, with emerging attempts to break into the professional wedding space - but you probably know that.
These statements get indexed quite high on Google searches because of the clicks received on PF - as I suspect you fully understand.
