Resting up with some extreme stress and intensity is undervalued.

You see, "Cologne" is the perfume ("colonie" in Romanian) - but Koln is a German town

But it's all the same thing! The roman name of the city was "Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium" which was shortened to Köln over time. And the original name of the perfume is "Kölnisch Wasser" - or "Eau du Cologne" in French.

Well, if we Pentaxians are too old for Minecraft, maybe we'd be more at home with an online CP+ inside DOOM... then folks could say Pentax is DOOMed!™ and be accurate for once

I've heard Ricoh will be including a copy of Doom in the firmware of the K3-III as an Easter egg...

(OK, I didn't really hear that... but I'm old enough that "will it run Doom?" is a measure of computer performance I remember...)

I thought it rather was 'but will it run FarCry ?'

Only 20 more days until CP+ 2021 starts! Hopefully Ricoh has this camera 100% ready to be shown, demonstrated, & samples handed out to reviewers. I think we'll know every single detail about the K-3 Mark III around then like AF performance & other features that haven't really been shown or told by Ricoh. My guess is that they'll put everything in their CP+ microsite.

Risxsoul · 02-06-2021, 03:24 PM

So looking at the CP+ site today. Ricoh has a page up. But not much more. Fuji for example has its Large Format camera videos etc. Something else i found... the KP Limited version with the wood handles is stopping production. This viewable on the Japan site. Yes I want My K33!

Yes, @JPT; has reported that all KP production has ended. Perhaps they figure they don't need the KP now that the K-3iii will be available. I'm glad that I got my KP while they were available.

Kind of curious to stick to these events when they are online only. The date seems to lose its meaning? They could launch at any time they see fit, to a schedule completely of their chosing?

Do you think there are advantages for Pentax even when the event is online?

I think Pentax has waited entirely too long to launch the K-3iii - users have waited entirely too long -
but it is their launch, and since I don't plan to ever get a K-3iii, I guess it is none of my concern.

And if it isn't ready to purchase immediately after CP+ but rather April 2021 as has been rumoured
well...... it's getting harder and harder to be patient.

Pentax knows they're a little like a soda machine at a ski resort. You may not like the conditions ($5 for a Coke?!?) but it's really hard to take off the boots and the ski clothes and go all the way out, off resort to the 7-11 to save $4 on a Coke.

When you have a big pile of Pentax lenses and stuff you'll probably wait a few more weeks.
