Originally posted by Serkevan Yeah, but my point is that you need the O-GPS1 for the astrotracer to work, and I'd be very surprised if the K-1iii didn't improve on the already-excellent quality of the 36MP chip.
(and I'd much rather have a flip screen for those shots, honestly... last time I used a camera with fixed screen for astro I was swearing constantly
)
The new technology
will improve the "FF" experience, but it was
most useful for improving the "APS-C" experience;
the K-1 can be used to photograph events, but the K-3 family has been more useful because of the more rapid fps made possible by having smaller images {but not as small as crop-mode on the K-1} - and perhaps they can still fit a GPS in despite the larger prism. We will just have to wait for it. This is a silly discussion in the meantime; I don't remember any jealous comments from when graceful ISO first appeared on the K-70 when it was first to get the 'accelerator'.
