Originally posted by frogfoot K-70 has better sensor and image processing pipeline than K-3II and articulated LCD and costs much less, so it cannot justify high price of KP.
K-70 doesn't have magnesium alloy body of KP, has older AF module (K-5 era), different sensor, older generation IBIS, different image pipeline, K-30/K-50 shutter/mirror assembly
Originally posted by frogfoot How can KP have better AF if it has the same SAFOX as K-3II? Only slight tuning I guess.
AF is hardware with software.
Originally posted by frogfoot Only pentaprism hump is 1.5mm smaller, other parts have more significant size difference.
Originally posted by frogfoot Control customisation option don't affect a price much too.
But you don't have it on K-3II
Originally posted by frogfoot And as I have said I want 120% features of K-3II for 100-120% of its price. I'm not talking about 7DII and D500.
In KP, you have better sensor and somewhat improved AF for 100% of the initial K3 price already, so I don't see reasons for whining then. If Ricoh doesn't come up with K3II successor until the end of the year, then whiners will have at least some justification for their complaints. Right now, there is no indication that this is intended as a (semi) pro camera, targeted for K3II replacement.
