Would be interesting to see how the K-3 III will be supported - stay tuned!

This thread claims USB 3 tethering (USB-C, I assume), plus it has both wifi and bluetooth.

Page 98 of the manual addresses use of Image Transmitter 2, so likely to match K-1 ii.

K-50 now has basic tethering ability in Gphoto2 - PentaxForums.com

The use of an information is more important than the age.

Great overview!

The "Pentax Wi-Fi & USB Tether by PentaxForums.com" is missing checkmarks for all 3 Desktop OSs.

And isn't the oft-mentioned gphoto missing in the list?

Also, would be great if you could all links to relevant websites or forum posts for the various programs you have listed.

E.g. for IT2: https://www.ricoh-imaging.co.jp/english/products/imagetransmitter2
For Pentax Wi-Fi & USB Tether: [thread]378428[/thread]
etc.
