Originally posted by fsge I meant buying within next few months to keep this new body at least 5 or 6 years would mean that if I pick a K3 it would be 9 years old at the end of this tenure.
K70 is a very good mix indeed, but only fear I have is AF related which is one step below K3 and 2 below K1. I have high expectations in that regard.
K3 III (or whatever name it would be) will probably enjoy K1's AF with additional new features. That s why I am wondering when this one should be announced
Unlike many posters, many of whom don't even own a K-3, my opinion is that the K-3 AF is not that far behind the K-1. Over the last week, I've worked extensively with both, and I don't see a lot of difference. Given choice, I'd take the K-3 with it's superior burst rate and bigger buffer, I'm just lucky I have both.
But I understand your conundrum. You want a specific feature set, which isn't currently offered and you hope the next model will be exactly what you want. I wish I could give you a couple of days with my K-3. There will be new models for sure, but my K-3 will do what it does now, five years from now, and I like what it does now.
