Please, heaven's no.
Originally posted by StarTroop Olympus's take on a giant crop sensor camera didn't go down so well, so maybe Pentax ought to try a different approach.
Bingo! I know a built in grip would absolutely kill any interest in the next flagship for me.
Originally posted by StarTroop I think the K3iii could probably have a much higher burst rate, maybe even a slightly lower resolution than the KP (20 mp?), several card slots and audio/video out ports, a significantly improved AF system, shake reduction, and possibly even a focus on video capabilities and livescreen features.
Burst rate - I'm indifferent, but I understand the want/demand. Is 8.3 fps really not enough?
Lower Resolution - I'm down for that, especially in an APS-C body. My K-3 has plenty of resolution. I want quality pixels, not more.
Several card slots - Given, (or did you want more than two?)
Improved AF - The perennial Pentax want. Does anything else come close? I honestly do believe Pentax would have delivered this a long
time ago if they could. Expect improvements but don't expect Pentax to suddenly become the AF king.
Video - No. Just no. Pentax has held firm that video is not their priority. There are plenty of great video options on the market. See my comments
on AF above, but more so.
