Someone has to pay for the Queens Hats!

Just got my K-3 in yesterday from popflash.photo for $655. It's brand new with 0 shutter count. Made March 6th of 2014 and came with firmware version 1.0 I quickly updated the firmware to 1.11. Took some pictures at the airport this morning with my FA 31. It's beautiful. Such a step up from the K-5. Love it!

This pic was taken at 1600 ISO! Sharp sharp sharp and very little noise.

Time is on your side. I'm sure we'll eventually see $496 K-3's.

I bought my K-3 from popflash.photo for $655. I couldn't wait for Fall of 2015 to get one at the $496 price
