Originally posted by house The expectation is that a flagship apsc camera five years newer should blast the older one out of the water unless priced a lot lower. The K3-III is unlikely to do that (even if its better in some respects ) Milcs provide a lot of change from dslr which can be sold as improvements. Thats all
No, my expectation is the K3 III will be the absolute best platform for the lenses I already own and for the types of photography I do with them.
Whether the D500 is better or worse or the same performance as the new K3 III doesn't matter to me. Nor does it matter that I could buy some MILC for the same money. I'm not interested in Nikon and I'm not interested in using mirrorless (which I tried, a couple of times). I'm not interested in buying for two ecosystems and I'm not interested is selling what I have and reassembling the collection. I AM interested in a camera to use my very good glass with without compromise, one that improves on features significantly from the cameras I own now for wildlife and action and indoor events. Landscape was already well covered by my K-1.
So no matter how many times someone with zero interest in the new Pentax camera tries to convince us we'll be happier spending the money WE earned on not-a-Pentax I'm not interested nor IMO are most others who have decided the same. If
you want to spend
your money elsewhere I promise not to tell you you're wrong and making a mistake. Please give those of us who are deciding to give the K3 III a shot the same respect.
That's all.
