Originally posted by JPT I attended the Pentax Meeting today. It was a fan event to celebrate the 102nd anniversary of the brand. I just have time to write a post about a part of it right now, so I’ll focus on the part about the evolution of the K-3...
Future K-3 III variants
This was unusual. Wakashiro-san described six ideas for variants on the K-3 III and wanted to get feedback on them.
1. K-3 III Jet black
2. K-3 III Shutter changed
3. K-3 III Monochrome - No bayer filter model
4. K-3 III MF
5. K-3 III Gun metal
6. K-3 III Astro - Sensor filter changed to enable better astro photography (like other brands do)
They had a poll of attendees to see idea which sounds most attractive, and the 2 winners were the Monochrome and the jet black model...
.
That's 2 very interesting ideas !
Especially if Pentax drops its " accelerator unit " ; please, no more NR baked in Raw files !
I was posting about Monochrome Sensors on that thread :
From RGB to Mono, by how much is the IQ improved ? I-R Test Simulation
with 2 Simulations of what could be the Image Quality of a Mono-APSC :
From RGB to Mono, by how much is the IQ improved ? DPR Test Simulation
Both Tests Simulations are Full-Sized.
Let's hope they will achieve at least 1 of these 2 ideas ?
wait & see...
