Anyone else get the impression he's got a bloated ego and enjoys the power trip there? I took a screen shot of this reply on this thread because now my posts are being moderated. All that "moderator" is doing is hijacking a thread and defending DPR grabbing at straws, which to me seems highly suspect and odd considering the mere definition of a moderator is to remain neutral and keep the peace. On top of it, he's bullying people on threads as well.
DPR has become a cesspool.

I guess the difference between the K-3iii and the D780 is that they were able to use EFCS for the latter, so the samples were shock free.
Of course, I don't support publishing such incorrect "image quality" samples. Mitigation should've been a simpler matter of avoiding the respective shutter speeds.
If DPR are the kind of reviews of Pentax cameras you'd want to preserve, I'm more than willing to lose them. They have only done more harm than good, probably one reason why Pentax are hesitant to work with them. I would be!
Front focus, or back focus, very common on DSLR's which is mostly lens dependent. That's a completely different subject altogether.
Bottom line here is that Pentax has created a whopper of a camera and instead of celebrating it, DPR are once again looking to find ANYTHING, even if made up, to take the sheen away from Ricoh.
It's old, its tiresome, and its irresponsible journalism. I maintain my position. BB would be demoted at the very least.
Joinson and Askey were much better Editors than BB in every respect.
