Hahaha! Indeed it is.
It's as simple as this. The K-70.... errrrrrrrr..... KF is going to be a very capable camera. It has everything you need to take a good picture &
hopefully we never hear about another solenoid failure ever again. The image quality is going to be pretty great, given that it's practically a K-70.
For those of us that need better autofocus, more options, & a better build, that's what the K-3III is for. Not only can it take great landscape, portrait, still life, & similar pictures, but it can also handle moving subjects quite well. But yeah. One has to pay to play with that one.
It looks like Ricoh has "completed" their 2 APS-C camera lineup with this camera. Basically no more cannibalizing of their top APS-C camera. It's something that
asahi man on the DPR forum had said a while ago. Something along the lines of there being 2 APS-C cameras & 2 FF cameras. Now they need to release the K-1III & eventually release an "entry level" FF camera. Hopefully the K-1III comes out no later than next year. It's long overdue.
