Originally posted by bobell69 I am somewhat confused with the the announcement of the Pentax 3 II by Ricoh. They have indicated that the important "changes that will benefit sports, studio, available-light and astrophotographers, as well as those who just want their photos geotagged". So what is the real benefit for studio work other than the removal of the flash? Is there something regarding the flash removal that has not as yet been announced, but will be available via a firmware update? There has to be more than just the removal of the onboard flash.
Well, I guess it would have to be the pixel shift resolution enhancement, assuming the studio is being used to photograph still subjects, and assuming Pentax implements a feature that spaces out the exposures to allow the flashes enough time to recycle.
