Just responding to your post(s), though my part of the hijack stops here. Carry on.

Yeah, the release date is set; so we either wait with no information, or we can have these teasers.

Is this the camera that includes WIFI connection?

Kunzite · 12-13-2020, 04:19 PM

The camera has WiFi support, which can be used for remote control e.g. from a smartphone/tablet (via the Remote Sync app), or for automatic transfer of images to a smartphone.

The K-3 Mark III has Wi-Fi support, albeit limited to 802.11b/g/n (no Wi-Fi 802.11ac using the 5GHz band), and Bluetooth LE (Low Energy) support.

Nothing distinctive here: most cameras nowadays have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support.

Is there a chance to read something of those tests?

You will see it when it is officially released.

except for the price, everything else is perfect~

I very much doubt it. It's annoying, I know, but it's been that way since the K20D was retired. I suspect it's entirely intentional... Whilst we might wish to use our existing grips, that doesn't help the company's revenue and profits. Without sales of a new grip, they'd have to hike the price of the camera a little to compensate...

Didn’t the k-5 use the same grip as the K-7?

K33's WIFI speed is as fast as GR3.

Have you tried copying the link address and pasting that directly into your browser's URL bar, rather than clicking on the link?

Nope. But I will try it. I will let you know what happens

How imperfect is the price? How much long should one wait until it drops down to perfect?

I gave up on buying battery grips when the K-3 came out. I don’t find the extra depth to be of any benefit to me, and I’m comfortable using the cameras in portrait orientation without one, so I’ve taken to just carrying a spare battery.

I don’t know if non-OEM battery grips are made for the latest models, but I’ve used both sources in the past and found no significant difference except for the lower price of the non-OEM.
