I might enjoy the KP more than my K1 since I shoot mostly wildlife and use the Crop Mode often, so FF is not a necessity for me.

The one question I have is about the AF? Is it equal to what I have with my K1? After the K1 difference in AF I can never go back to anything less.
Would my big ol' slow Bigma focus fast and accurate like it does on my K1...for the first time ever!

No more hunting, no more waiting to lock focus, no more frustration...that's my question?

Regards!

Hunting should be improvable.

The tendency of my K-30 to always try closer, and sometimes never getting around to trying farther, should be improvable.

Some of your issues might be improved only by a lens having a focusing group of lower mass.

Black Friday offer for the KP on the US web store: $699 and even $599, shipping included, with the coupon RICOHHOLIDAY.

There are offers on the other cameras too and the same coupon applies.

They placed the KP between K-1II and 645Z.

Hi, did you noticed the amount of discount increasing below the bodies :-)

Yes' but that's not all the Story.

It could mean that they try to get rid of KP inventories for a reason or the other.

Yeah, but that is still obviously in descending discount order. Nice generous discounts, but I'm holding out to see what the apsc flagship spec is and cost.

Last year I purchased my KP at $700, not sure of their motive, but sure I could use it at $700 - and I have gotten good use of it for a year now.

You should post this in the deals thread IMHO.

Maybe more next days,but the upper class model in the line of 3 is coming up later.
Best regards

"Later" ... such word
