Seems to be interesting but I sure don't read Japanese.
Does it only summarize what has been said about the K3 II so far?

Best as I can tell, he's extolling the virtues of the OVF and how well the new body works with existing glass.

The Youtube auto-translations are bizarre

Why can't they release some examples/comparisons at ISO levels that people would actually use?

Interesting. Very interesting.

It's like going to a poetry slam, where one of the poets/performers does stream-of-consciousness.

I say this with love

I attended one of those in my youth. It was very much like that.

Oh gawd, the translations are hilarious.

I like this introduction slide:

K1 landscape
K-3 moving body (I assume sport/wildlife)
KP casual (I assume Fujiish hipster

)
K-70 entry level camera
K-3 Mark III is the core of the series (translation lost the III)

Let’s be blunt: one of them is stoned. Hopefully Ricoh will supply translations soon.

They are discussing the electronic shutter around 29:31, second video:

You Tube

Subtitles lag for too many seconds, and then I cannot make sense of what follows, but they mention also a following firmware update.
Anybody who understands Japanese can get anything out of that?

More K3 III videos, hands-on, Japanese only:

You Tube

It seems they are advertising this as a FF equivalent, in terms of usage, feel (OVF) and image quality.

So, why did they discontinue the KP?

And where is the portrait camera to go with the DFA* 50 and 85?

How would a "portrait camera" be any different from the K-3 III? Serious question.
