I'm anxious to upgrade to the new K-3 and would like make the purchase in about a month. I currently have a K10D and K-5 and am quite happy with the overall quality of the cameras as far as how well constructed they are and how durable they feel. I'm hope the K-3 hasn't been cheapened in any way to make it feel less than 'professional grade' if you know what I mean.
I remember looking at Canon's price equivalent camera when I bought my K10D in 2008 and distinctly remember how flimsy it felt. Not that ruggedness is the ultimate decision factor for a camera but to me having something that feels well built helps with a level of confidence.
So...is the quality of the K-3 still there?
Thanx...Blake
It feels just as good as the K-5, but on top of that you get a quieter (& faster) shutter and a larger screen. The new screen is to die for IMO- not necessarily because of its size, but because it's 3:2, so there are no more black bars in live view or in playback mode.
