Pentax K3 MKIII - IMPORTANT UPDATE! - YouTube

TheCameraVille on YouTube has announced to air something about the K-new on wednesday, in 40.5 hours. Anyone heard something from Ricoh?

I don't know what's he up to now. I used to watch his videos as he always made a side by side comparison with other brand showing evidence of Pentax's strength and weakness. Then the channel ended up to something different.

Pentax ain't perfect but it can hold its own ground. So can other brands. There's no sense in bashing a brand just to get more likes.

Sad I guess but that's how you get good ratings.

maybe he is like a crazy guy. But his comparing is always good. An I think he likes Pentax, too.

I like that he supports Pentax, but his comparisons for the most part mean little. He makes mountains out of mole hills. At least he admits Pentax is up with the rest of them in terms of offering features the ordinary person might appreciate . That's an opinion sorely lacking on the forum in the minds of some Pentax owners, who shoot Pentax but want Pentax to be something they aren't, and always tell us about it, in every thread about every Pentax product.

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

There is still some time before the official release.

Cameraville always had dodgy comparisons but plenty pentaxians lapped it up because he was on "their" side.

I was hoping for a new article in the Product Stories series, perhaps even one with a new information. Thought that, perhaps, he got a hint about that somehow.
But it seems CameraVille's only "inside info" is reading Twitter.

It would've been fine, if not for overselling it as an "IMPORTANT UPDATE!!!111oneoneone". Clearly, he's trying to gather clicks by any means necessary.

A little later than Oct.

So announcement of specs should be later this month or early October.

Later than October is November?

don't forget they want to finalize the new 16-50/2.8 to go with the announcement, so this may hold them back a bit
