Please Pentax, on the new FF, let us choose cropped or not cropped.
On the new grip add a high speed button to toggle single and continuous shoot. Inside under the camera grip is a good place.
Thank you !

Another vote for the video orientated camera, or hipster filmaker dslr .

Its easy, you have ALL that vintage lenses fitting the K mount with that amazing manual focus feel. You know, theres no really AF for videographers, even in big studios with cameras priced as houses, they have a guy that control the focus.

DSLR filmakers would love to have "a brand" (already canon?? cmon!! thats too mainstream!!), you already have the lenses...so...why not? Why spend money in a KS1 and not in the KS-3, that comes with:


-4k video 60 fps
-Full Hd 120fps
-Articulated screen.
-Not necessary mirrorless.
-WR
-Very very little, so you can stick it to a drone.
-K mount.
-Multi channel audio
-Stereo Mic.
- U$S 875 with the new small kit lens.

I dont know wich sensor size is the best for this. Maybe apsc or micro 4/3.

Now I have this idea: Put an acelerometer and a gyroscope in the camera, and make them record the information of the movement of the camera, and syncronize that with the video file. Then, make a software that makes the image steady. Yes, like Instagram Hyperlapse, but in a DSLR camera.

That should do the trick .

Dear Pentax,
I like my K-3 except the AF mode selection arrangement really sucks.
Best wishes,
Dave

Here are just some of the things that i think can benefit most users who are on a very tight budget.

1. Cheaper DA WR fast zooms
2. Lower the prices on the OEM WR battery grips

I really love the idea of having a full WR setup yet it remains as my "dream" setup (pentax k7 user since it came out) since i couldn't afford the DA* fast zooms the 18-135WR is nice, but at least a cheaper version DA 16-50 or 24-75mm WR f2.8 will do.

It would be nice if when I plugged my camera into computer to extract pictures it started charging the battery.

Pls make the K-3 focus peaking display easier to see in LiveView via a firmware update - provide two or three colour choices for the FP highlight, and make the highlight optionally thicker, for example. Check out how Sony does it in NEX.

k thanx.

Oh, and make it possible to cycle through the colours with the Fx button, please.

Please construct the ultra wide angle zoom with a filter thread. We use polarizers and ND filters still.

After the full-frame zooms.

If you want prime-like qualities at 23mm right now on a new APS-C lens,
get yourself a DA 20-40 Ltd.
