Originally posted by debakarma I am new to Pentax. I just bought a K3, will be delivered in a few days.
Have used Nikon, Sony, Panasonic and Olympus before.
Does anyone have a comprehensive list of things I should test for to look if my copy has known issues?
I am sure it will have some, so its a question of having to live with some and fix others with available firmware if any.
This is not the way to go, a couple of years ago I had a K-r that produced WONDERFUL pictures, the combination of the body, the glass I had and what I was doing with it just worked ... then I got worked up about FF in poor light, I sold it and am still looking to settle on a camera to this day, K3 just arrived this week and hopefully I can be happy again !!
Take some pictures, experiment a little and be happy if you like what you see, if you spend most of your time looking for flaws then you will find many, the perfect camera has not yet been made.
