Most sad thing is not at least upgrading AF system to KP or K3 II level. It's not like that would compete against the K3 III.

Definitely a lost opportunity.

Still my favourite and I have or have had K10, K20, K5, K3, K1, K-01, K100D. It's not perfect but what is.

I still own K-01, K3, K1 and KP and the KP is what I use the most.

Alexander Zerev in Australian Open practice with Sigma 70-200 HSM.

Funny story, I got stopped by security as they limit lenses to maximum 200mm. The lens passed but no one questioned using a lowly Pentax KP for action. By the way, I don't think it's lowly but I know many action shooters would.

I have both and much prefer using the KP. I just never liked the weight of the K1. I still have it but have to make myself use it unlike the KP that I happily use.

If only they didn't cap it at $300 dollars the K3 III would be very tempting.

I thought this might be interesting for some of you. The post is quite old but the website is up to date so they still be using the Pentax 645Z.

Anyway, it might be inspiring or at least ineresting for some people:

My worry is continued production of batteries for the original Godox 860's. These are proprietary and I don't want to be left with a lot of redundant flashes in the future.

A long as the TT685C is on firmware V3.4 you should have P-TTL.

Yep, Class A is correct. This trick will only work for the P(entax) version of the Godox triggers.

I hope I haven't accidentally mislead anyone.

Please note that I know that the Godox Ving 850 can be manually put into HSS by setting it manually on the flash. After that you can set a shutter speed above 1/180 or 1/200 via the trigger. It requires an extra step but HSS is still available.

I don't want to gang up but this guy does not appear to be an ambassador. If his conclusions are similar to the ambassadors isn't that good? If it confirms what the ambassadors were saying rather than us just having to believe the ambassadors words isn't that a good thing. It's another data point providing additional evidence of several noted improvements identified by the ambassadors.

We all have to make our own judgements on ambassador reviews, assorted Youtube reviewers, user reviews and so-called expert review sites such as DPReview. Note: I no longer think much of DPreview but they are unfortunately an influential review site.

Anyway, I am happy the mythical K3 III is in hands of actual real people now. Yay!

True but you (1) need the software; and (2) processing photo's on computer takes time.

Not everyone wants to spend time at the computer processing photo's.

Note: I do have an original K3 and love it. However, i also do have a KP and it's high iso performance is definitely a step above my K3.

Except for high iso photo's. The KP, K70, K1 and even K5 have better high iso performance than the K3 and K3 II.
