Originally posted by panonski I was also afraid of 1 card slot, and also - lower battery capabilities.
Originally posted by panonski in my practice - I was never used 2 card slots with k3 - so - there is no change in KP for me...

In practice I tested the battery - and you can easily make 500 shots - even more

Originally posted by Cerebum I have the KP and the K3 and the battery on the KP is a pain, but it is eminently manageable the two card slot thing is something I haven’t missed. I have it on the K3 but my first slot has never failed and I don’t use the jpegs.
Appreciate both your feedback. I rarely have need for dual card slots but I've gotten very used to having that feature. I could live without it if
pressed. I can say I've had a card fail and thus the back up card was a lifesaver, but that's only ever happened once to me.
As for the battery, I've been doing a lot of product style photography the past two years. Camera on tripod, Live View continually on, hundreds
of shots at a time. I have one battery in the camera, one charged backup and one in the charger. And yet it still feels like I'm continually
changing battery. Realistically I change the battery once, maybe twice over the course of a full day of hundreds of shots. It is potentially
manageable with a smaller battery but nonetheless I have no desire to change batteries even more frequently than I already do.
If for some reason the K-New is released and it just doesn't measure up I will most certainly get a KP. Not sure what could possibly
come up short, perhaps no toast function
For the moment, I've been waiting too long to not wait and see and my K-3 is still
doing just fine.
