Detailed specs of Pentax K-70

VoiceOfReason · 06-06-2016, 07:29 AM

Almost looking like a slight upgrade to the K3...

Interesting to see the integration of on sensor PDAF, K-02 and/or new Q with PDAF can't be too far out right???

OK, that jsut made the most sense naming wise... But Pentax is all over the place with names...

I'd prefer a K-3 than what is listed there in the specs unless it had a K-3 styled body (BG, top LCD, etc...)

I like my K3, and it may well be my last APSC camera (at least until it wears completely out), but I never have used the BG on it. It kinda sits there being sad. I hate to say it, but I also rarely use the top LCD on my K3 or K1.

I've never used a camera with top LCD or BG (my only camera ever is my K-50), but I would really like to have a top LCD as a battery saver.
I'm not sure if I'd use a BG if I had one, maybe if I had some longer lenses I would?

There are more interesting stuff going on then the K-70

There will never be a right moment to get a replacement for my k-30 as Pentax seems to launch new models all the time now. I wait for the next thing, and the next, ande the next. Maybe I´m too happy with my old friend....?

@kenspo, good to read you back again! Sorry to be hijacking this thread

but do you have any feedback on how the sales of K-1 are going compared to Ricoh plan?

It seems more like a K-50 upgrade, but with some features of the K-3 II (pixel shift, etc).

Better then expected. Dont have the figures, but as Ricoh say, they are more then satisfied

It is NOT an upgrade for K-50

CarlJF · 06-06-2016, 08:02 AM

I don't know, some features are exciting (like Pixel shift and 24MP), others are disapointing (the old SAFOX X), and many are "it depends" like SR (K-50/K-S2 or K-3ii level ?), integrated flash (with or without wireless control). And, as always, the price is always THE make or break feature!

But all info are not correct..so hold your horses on excitement or disappointment.
