The K-3 has the best ergonomics among current APS-C flagships, so I don't think you can do any better in that area
Originally posted by mariusdk The aircraft spotting would be at the end of the runway with aircraft not traveling extremely fast or at extreme distances, so I don't think that is a issue, but most reviews says that that the K-3 is not great for sports photography and it probably does not get worse than F1 racing....
The issue lies more with the lenses than with the camera, as many Pentax lenses are slow to focus. If you pair a K-3 with something like a Sigma 70-200mm or a Tamron 70-200mm, for instance, the gear will most likely not be the issue. We can't deny that Nikon's and especially Canon's AF is more advanced, but I don't think anyone
needs that tech to take great pics.
Are there repair shops in your area that can work on Pentax gear? If so, then I wouldn't hesitate to import a Pentax camera, as you will most likely gain access to lower prices. In the mean time, I'm sure Ricoh Imaging's presence in the middle east will increase, as they've been working hard on expanding since the Pentax merger.
