Just scored my K-3.....

And under charliezap's advice also picked up the Sigma 150-500mm Bigma as well. Will probably spend the rest of the day reading the manual and setting it up to my likings.

Already looking forward to using it.

Yeah they are a pain but a pain that must be endured!

Congrats, EM

! Your new camera will be in good hands, for sure. Also, I'm looking forward to seeing photos from your new big momma; the Capn sure enjoys his.

I've got a K-3 en route - I should get it Monday.

Enjoy your new toys.

Thanks Jer, I will emerge myself into the K-3 slowly.

Just picked up mine too: battery is charging.... I'll also be diving into the manual but, as others have said, it looks a bit sparse. I think it is slimmer than my K-r manual.
I read somewhere that there is enough in common with the K-5II that it's manual is worth reading so I think I'll download it.

As I'm keeping my K-5II.s as a backup I also have a backup manual.
