What a great review!

"It is a camera that makes you feel that it is a camera that you can enjoy even the shooting process, which is one of the development concepts of the manufacturer".

^^^I feel like mirrorless mainstream mania has entirely forgotten about this concept.

Short question that I'm not sure yet has an answer but may:
I know one slot is a UHS-II. I didn't note the actual speed that it supports, so wondering if V60 is more than fast enough for both burst and video shooting, or if there will be any benefit to V90. I suspect there isn't but anyone know for sure?

Video:
<90Mbit/s = <12Mbyte/s
So V60 is more than fast enough for video Shooting.
SD card - Wikipedia

Photo:
141DNG @ 8GB = ~55Mbyte/photo.
UHS-II means 104-312Mbyte/s bandwith, so with 12fps burst you should get a card with at least 150Mbyte/s constant minimum writing speed if you repeat bursts and the Buffer of 30 DNGs isn't cleared.
Toshiba Exceria Pro would be a good choice.

So then a V90 card, not a V60. Very helpful.

The camera is more about how we are able to capture a special kind of images and about the overall shooting experience. Reviews won’t deliver this experience.

Sadly, to a great degree this is true. 900x1350 pixels is a great equalizer.
Show me an in focus series of pictures of a Peregrine Falcon coming out of a dive right at the camera and you'll be showing how this camera differs from previous Pentaxes

So that's like 200mph or 89m/s, you'll be looking for something a bit longer to go with that Sir! Can I offer you a DFA150-450?

What knowledge is there about the K3iii and it's Deep Learning Image Recognition Subject Tracking System?

Damn nice images. But what is wrong with all these guys and the video samples????!!!

Here is a kind of review of the Online Photographer (who very recently fondly reminisced about the DA 35mm Ltd):

The Online Photographer: Srsly? The New Pentax

Here he's shocked about the price. He too reads the DPReview as positive.

I think that several new "Impressions" have been posted at the RIcoh Imaging site: Impressions | PENTAX K-3 Mark III | RICOH IMAGING

Using the classic Pentax-M 50/1.7, Matt Bishop says: "It's amazing. It's so easy to manual focus because the magnification is so crystal clear."

Gotta love that!

And Hu Yao presents a bold look at the new camera, referencing the GR III and saying that "this crazy OVF allows me to observe, experience, and feel the real light from the OVF more directly."

Three new videos on their YouTube:

It's quite funny how each person has a completely different style to their videos. In a way it's endearig to see the personalities and tastes expressed with very little filter or editing from Ricoh. On the other hand it makes Pentaxians seem even more eccentric. Wether this is good or bad is not settled.

The impressive, concerted, on-going marketing for the K-3 III brings me much solace in a market where Olympus is being sold and Nikon is bleeding out. This proves Ricoh's commitment to the brand and it brings me a lot of joy to see they aren't intending to gut the brand, cannibalize it, or sell it off, and in fact intend to stay true to the history and meaning behind Pentax without selling out (I love their 5 point mission statement, tbh). It brings a lot of confidence investing further with the brand.

Depends on how high the bird is.
Too low, and aiming would be a problem - but the focusing ability of the K-3iii would help to get a good image.
