Originally posted by VSTAR So the K3iii has been available for purchase for several weeks now. Yet I cannot find an in depth professional review...anywhere. I know dpreview put out a first impressions review but nothing in detail. Other sites basically posted just the specs. YouTube videos were itching to brag about, again because there was no real detailed testing and performance shown. The camera stores in Toronto emailed me a new spring flyer. It has the newest cameras from all the companies in it, just one missing. Just curious...is it the brand, or Ricoh did not give any away for reviewing or...????
I published part one of a five part series. Part II coming soon (autofocusing segment). Since the K3 Mk III is large in part a completely new camera from the ground up, it's taking some time to test it and get to know it properly (probably the same for other reviewers as well). I'm out shooting with mine at least 2hrs a day, mostly outdoors but indoors as well, then writing notes. It's a supremely comprehensive and advanced camera with all the latest tech bar the very leading edge video features. Also, Adobe has no profile for it yet, not even an Adobe Color profile, just "color" for DNG. That is not the best raw profile for the IQ out of this camera by far!
So hang tight, there are a lot of people working hard in the background, but the prevailing opinions thus far is that it's a huge winner for Pentax. It's got no quirks I've found yet, and the image quality is absolutely outstanding!
