Originally posted by Qwntm So far not one other person has reported the problem after testing for it, including myself.
It's far more likely the DPReview camera has what is in actuality pilot error, or a fault, and the only people that should be embarrassed about a total lack of professionalism either way, work at DPReview.
Until the problem can be replicated anywhere else by anyone else, it's not really a problem, is it?
I repeat, I was not able to replicate this issue. I've been testing the K3 Mk III longer than DPR. I attempted to duplicate their findings at 1/60-160th of a second using three different lenses and images were spot on. I gave up. It's a waste of time trying to duplicate a botched test, and DPR will be the last to admit they did. Their reputation declines with every new camera review they do, which is probably why they post 80% or more click bait articles now.
There was ZERO professional courtesy shown on their part to Pentax. There are many other possibilities for those findings on their part, starting with the lens, or the camera sample they have. The fact that nobody else can duplicate this themselves is troubling. Did they try two cameras? Nope. One test unit. Did they try other lenses?
Irresponsible if you ask me.
Pentax doesn't fly DPR to the bahamas and hold them up in Hotels like other brands do, and they are harder on Pentax than any other brand. Odd coincidence there.
