Must say, once again, that I came from Oly system, and Oly has a fantastic sense for upgrading their high entry models with new possibilities in camera, added with laters firmware upgrading.
OMD-EM1 till now have 4th major firmware release, and in last upgrade, Oly add to this camera some fantastic features, like focus shifting ( bracketing in different apertures ) for macro, or silent shutter.
I can't complain about my Pentax K3 picture quality, but firmware is still on 1,21 ( correct me if I'm wrong ) and I can't see any will from Pentax ( or Ricoh ) to add some extra cookies inside.
So, I decide to make my own upgrade wish list - and invite you other owners of this beautifull camera, to make yours - all in hope Pentax will do something to improve this camera, to become better. This also can be aplied to the K3 II.
This wish list must be suitable for apply in camera
my wish list
- option to swap the format . 3:2, 4:3, 1:1 . The mirror can't cover this, but LCD can handle it
---
- silent shutter, or electronic shutter, with mirror always up
---
- option to set mirror always up, when you power On or when you power on your camera, that you have Live View immediately without need to press one more button to get it
---
- in play mode I would like to see some improvements about picture info. Now you must set in menu what would you like to see on screen, but that's to slow. I like no info preview, but if I want to see info, it would be much easier and nicer to switch with "info" button.
When I want to see exif, just push "info", and you can see it.
--
- Faster write on card rate with continuous shooting. I notice much lag even in M quality mode, ( downsize to 14 mpx ), and in L super fine quality the lag is pretty obvious. I must wait even 5,6 seconds before I can use my camera again, after some 10,15 shots in burst mode.
---
- some of you claim that "pointer" in the middle of screen, is not accurate in same way, in live view mode, and with the red spot in Viewfinder mode. I must confirmed it's maybe the true, so I would like to see improvement here also
---
- very important to me is live view bokeh preview. I must go to manual preview button, which is placed on On-Off button, and is not very convenient - I would rather to see change of dof that all the time, as I move aperture ring,
but I don't know is it possible .
---
- Battery depleted info - when you turn on camera with empty battery. For now, you have such info, only in shooting, when your battery dies, but if you try to turn on camera with depleted battery, you will have nothing to show, and sometimes I found this irritate me, cause I think maybe is something wrong with camera - not a big deal - but yet, can be useful
---
- no more foldfers ! I'm sick of folders in camera card. Give me oportunity to choose
if I remember something else, I will wrote this here, and you may also do your wish list for K3, or KII
