Agreed! As a K-3 owner, it only took a quick scan of the specs to understand that this new version is as big a jump over the K-3II and KP as the original K-3 was over previous models of the time. Whether I will consider the upgrade is hard to say. My K-3 is still serving me well and there is little on the "improved" list that touches on areas of "friction" I might have with the camera. I do see multiple areas that address PF member concerns/complaints/whinings regarding recent offerings and enough features that were not added to ensure a continuation of concerns/complaints/whinings for the immediate and near future, say until at least 2025.
Originally posted by c.a.m Exposure metering. Potentially broader coverage of the scene for more accurate metering. Highlight-weighted metering should be useful.
The current metering covers the full frame. What the higher resolution sensor does is provide, well, higher resolution that might be useful for object tracking in coordination with the PDAF system. As for Highlight-weighted metering...while that feature was part of rumor discussions as a potential feature migration from the GRIII, I don't see it on the spec sheet as either a mode or a settable option.
Edit: I see that highlight-weighted metering is included in the feature list for the new review page here on PF. I did not watch the video (short attention span), so perhaps it was mentioned there.
Edit: Edit: Based on comment below, I took another trip through the specification list and there it was. I definitely need to get my eyeglass prescription filled.
Wi-Fi...I could care less. Bluetooth? That one has my interest. Joystick? Definitely have my attention.
