BTW I am considering similar step, namely changing my K20D to K3, so when you finally have a good camera I think I will be very interested in all your observations. [;
So far, even with the one camera freezing and the other with a dead headphone port (only an issue in monitoring video), the K-3 is a huge improvement over the K20d.

Originally posted by irishnutter Hi Haden, sorry to hear of your issues. I can't help with the headphone question as I also ordered a K3 bundle from B&H and am expecting it next week. I hope I don't find similar issues. Hard to believe you experienced the mirror lockup problem at this stage. With all of the great pricing I figured ordering late in the holiday period should net me a copy with a very recent manufacturing date. Did you ever check that on the camera you returned or the second camera you received? Hopefully your headphone issue is something simple.
I ordered the Pentax K-3 Prestige Edition cause I liked the gunmetal look and it was on sale. It came with the latest firmware loaded on the camera. Not sure if I should just get a standard K-3 with grip and extra battery or not...

Just re-read the question at the top.... Head phones will not play when plugged in, Camera will not switch over from internal speaker to headphones when plugged in... I have used several types of headphones but with no success.
