Originally posted by zippythezip OK so my go to camera shop has the KP and the K3II for the same $999 price got me thinking of getting another Pentax camera. I am leaning towards the K3 and never used a flash yet so wont miss that.
Not interested in a K70 as it reminds me of my K50 which I disliked and the only camera I have ever sold. Need help here =)
The way I see it... Pros for the KP in no particular order:
* Better high-ISO performance
* Lighter and slightly smaller
* Tilt screen
* 3rd control wheel
* Flash
* Motion correction on the pixel shift
* SR II
Pros for the K3II:
* Dual card slots
* Top side LCD
* More shots per battery charge
* Built-in GPS
* Higer frame rate
...then you decide what's more important for you. I have never held the KP but how the camera feels in hand is very individual anyway.
Originally posted by repaap Now when I have been properly introduced of tilt screen of K-1, it seems so annoying to not have one. Wonder how that happened. K-1 is great compared to my Oly E5MII. Just that it can be turned in so many directions even that it is not so much away from body.
Yes, very true. I have used the pull-out screen a lot more than I thought I would do. The KP screen is not quite as flexible, but it's still very usable as a waist level finder and when shooting over head. I would still prefer the KP kind of screen over the flip-and-twist kind that the K70 has, though. And both of those would be better than a fixed screen.
