I’m unclear. How does the k-3iii compare with the d500. My impression is that the k-3iii is the better camera but long lens support may be the differentiator.

Here’s one of the cross comparisons I’ve seen: Nikon D500 vs Pentax K-3 III Comparison Review

The above got the gps feature wrong.

LOL, where do they come up with these arbitrary lists? "Best DSLR for Most People" -did they take a poll? "Best DSLR for Most Professionals" - Again, another Poll? "Best DSLR for Beginners" how would anyone know?

Although it’s a great thing to see a Pentax in such a list, I wouldn’t take it so seriously. It’s too generic... where the heck did they come up with the results? And tbh I wouldn’t expect every single model of the above to make it in such a list.

Looks like all those cameras except the K3III are older models ;-) So really the K3III should be top of the 2021 list. By itself.

would be interesting to see a comparison between the 90D and the K3 III. the 90D is a couple years older but from what i've read it's no slouch of a camera for the money. was there a 2022 best new dslr list or maybe there weren't new releases in 2022?

They forgot to create a category for Pentax KF … I‘d suggest „Best advanced DSLR“

… and please for the next run „Best monochrome sensor DSLR“ - which one would this be?!

If you look for comparisons between the 90D and D500 the latter comes out ahead across the board from what I'm finding. The 90D is a good camera from all available reviews, but the D500 is better for most types of photography. If the K3III performs better under most stills scenarios than the D500 then it's clear it will also rank ahead of the D90.

I didn't know of any new DSLRs either. For my photography interests I'm not really very drawn to mirrorless. Nothing against them and I'm not very advanced. Keeps me looking at quality DSLRs on the used market.

Thanks, not surprising. I may be tempted by one or the other at a low price just to have another system out of interest, but no interest in switching from Pentax
as primary camera system. I had a D500 kit I got for a good price and sold it last year, should have kept it. Kind of liked the heft, but then I started out on my dad's Nikon F.

I miss my F2a - but only a little. I still have my Nikkormat FT3 if I want to hammer something... not that I would treat the old girl that way.
