I gotten the K3 on Saturday morning, just in time for the Anime Festival Asia 2013 in Singapore. Such a great time for me to try and use the K3.
The camera as a whole felt a bit heavier but the grip is so much better. The new battery grip also felt better than the old one.
I have try the multi-zone white balance. It is great and quite accurate. However, I think it is better to take in JPEG or Raw +. I have issues with the white balance when i am editing the photo in lightroom with RAW file (DNG Format).
As for AF speed, I personally can't feel much difference with the K5iis. Maybe need more using of it to know it it is faster. However, in Live View mode, it's a different story. It is way better than the K5 or K5IIs. It is also much faster than the K30. When it takes the photo at LV, it is somehow feel as fast as the K01 which is impressive.
A picture with live view:
Some shots at the AFA..
Shot with FA31.
Trying out shooting people walking towards me with FA77. Focus seem good and fast.
Have to do AF Fine adjustment for my FA24 which I could not achieve sharp images by default.
Some images with FA24:
My 1st set of battery is close to flat for 2 days shots, felt the battery life is shorter, however, I'm using my old K01 Battery which also could be worn out. So not a good way to gauge the battery life on K3.
