1. K-300
16MP old CMOS sensor used in K-01 and K-30, re-using the K-r body, i.e., penta-mirror at 0.85X and 96% coverage.
RH's Certainty Percentage Close to 100%!
2. K-5N
16MP new CMOS sensor technology, new image processor, APS-C of course, 100% penta-prism finder at 0.92X, articulated screen, new 21-point SAFOX X AF system (central 9-crossed, surrounding 12 points linear), improved continuous tracking and zone focusing, 8 fps, improved video functions (with manual control and continuous AF option during video recording, very possibly).
RH's Certainty Percentage Close to 100%!
3. K-3/K-3S*
*Name Tentative
24MP APS-C flagship, Sony IMX096 CMOS sensor, new image processor, newly designed 100% coverage 1X magnification penta-prism (equivalent to 0.65X at 50mm for 135), articulated screen, 21-point SAFOX X AF system, 6 fps, enhanced white balance detection, enhanced video functions, stereo microphone built-in. Version without AA filter to be marketed later in early 2013, targeted/suggested price set at 1,400 Euros. The K-3 Super will be the highest resolution APS-C camera body ever on Earth and would put almost all the existing Pentax lenses to death! ;-p

en... I think that's a matter of different view point of different eyes, anyway thank you for the comment, MSL
Hi Jerry, thank you for the comment, and to me this is the first time I shot such scenes, it was quite nice feeling to have those beautiful things captured in camera.
Thank you Marcus, I do think DFA 100 WR is a nice one to have, it definitely worth it's price.
Thanks for the comments my friend.
I am happy you like it, and thank you for the comment.

thank you for the comment, it could be better given more time being invested to do the cropping, below one is edited by one of friends from the forum, made some cropping and increased contrast.

so clean and clear, must be very nice experience to be in those pictures. Of cause great shots.
The last one is just like a screen print from a fine CG game, with some kind of illusion of being on another planet.

To use a plastic bag to wrap the camera and let the front side of the lens exposed for shooting.
It's quite fun to shoot in the rain, you can find many things that never came to your life before....

Because the original content is in Deutsch which is beyond my understanding, I guess the English is translated by Google translate, which may no exactly express it's original meaning, yet combine context, "without PAS-C" I guess should mean something much better than APC-S

A quote from the German DSLR forum:
translated:
"... 1.) the last K5s arrived from the Far East
2.) As of May, the K5n will be available (with articulated screen)
3.) As of July/summer there will be a K3
...and the big bang:
a truly professional DSLR (K1?) is due in autumn WITHOUT APSC (!)"
because the original content is in Deutsch which is beyond my understanding, I guess the English is translated by Google translate, which may not exactly express it's original meaning.
Below is the original address, hope this is true although the possibility is low. K30, K5n, K3 and maybe full-frame at Photokina...: Pentax SLR Talk Forum: Digital Photography Review |

Thank you for the comment, It would look better if the pic was taken more closely, but when I make any slight movement, they just gone :)

There is one thing you may need to know if you are going to use AAs pack, some times the camera may show the battery is running low while it's not actually "low", especially when you are using too much flash or your lens is doing a lot of hunting (like 55-300).
I think this may be caused by the voltage of AAx4(=6v), the li-ion batt is 7.4v, so when you see the battery bar is yellow or red after not too many shots, then what you need to do is just simply turn off the camera and turn on it again, the battery bar will be green and full again.

Three ants drinking together, interesting shot. It is not easy to capture small moving things with macro, nice shot!

thank you for the comment,
I used to try smaller apertures, but I don't have a steady hand since the shutter was too slow under such low light condition. :)

Thank you for the input.
MF lens is kind of new to me, this is the second time I use this lens which I just got few days ago, I found MF lens provide much fun that you will not be able to acquire from AF lens.
Will mark your comment, should help me when I take shot next time. :)
