FYI....Found this 12 minute video on YouTube explaining the Features and Specifications of the K-3. The reviewer (Spyros Heniadis of selfhelpphotographer.com ) is very very enthusiastic about the camera.

Link is somehow broken at there.

That guy doesn't seem to know a lot about the K-3 itself or features of the older Pentax models as well (manual controls in the video mode, -3EV AF or the focus point array).

This video is a waste of time until folks like this Youtube guy actually get ahold of a real K-3, and stop merely reading press releases and spec sheets.

I definitely agree with you......but it is still nice to see that the K-3 is getting some very positive "buzz".

But it's sad to see when the functions well known and documented (like Pentax -3EV AF implementation) are compared to much inferior and simple Canon design. Questions asked didn't have to be asked, -3EV AF (with all points) works great with the K-5II/s, which this guy is supposed to be testing at the same time.

Great publicity. Pentax needs more guys like this guy beating the drums. If you can learn anything from Canon, it's that beating the drums means more sales.As for the guys personal take on things, who cares. If he was a complete bimbo, there's lots of other complete bimbos that would listen to him. And he's not a complete bimbo. Canon made great strides with those famous photographers Andre Agassi and Maria Sharapova hawking their wares. I liked their commercials, and they sold a lot of cameras... just not to me.
