A guy called Mike Svitek has posted and typed these in his twitter and Google+ accounts, as follows and quoted, one by one:-

"Testing the Pentax K-3 ... ISO25600 sample blew me away!"

https://plus.google.com/109859150130478662888/posts

Read the earlier one of the two posts made on March 20th:-

"Testing out the new Pentax K-# HDSLR [ ;) WINK WINK... NUDGE NUDGE ] with the Pentax 77mm Limited Prime lens ... 1/500s f/11 ISO25600 Custom WB
Contrast has been increased and image was cropped+downsized in DarkTable.

.
.
.

Now that all the formalities are out of the way... I love the tones, the dynamic range is amazing, and the resolution (while being too high for my taste) has its advantages when clearing up some noise. With the combo of the new sensor and processor, there is very little noise to clean up in the first place. It only starts showing up visibly at around ISO6400 (becoming obvious here at 25,600 and pretty bad at the extended range of 102,400) ... As I already stated, this camera sits between its competitors with the D800 and the D4 or the 5D Mrk.3 and the 1DX ... Somewhere between the two classes of each manufacturer.
Sadly, I have to give it back tomorrow... It was a fun ride while it lasted..."

A larger version of the above sample in 2048 x 1420 pixels can be downloaded via the "Option" item located at the bottom of the page. This ISO 25,600 image made with the 77 Limited lens is really impressive enough, if it is really true!

And the following additional things are disclosed:-

"BTW: I've known Ricoh representa

tives all my life. That's the only reason why they allowed me to test-run these cameras... There are 10 prototypes circulating around as I understood it, with three different internal variants... This one is D600 meets A99, they make a baby, and then inject it with steroids. ;)"

"I can't wait to see how many new people this will bring in. Pentax users have been on a very slow decline since 2003 when they killed the K1 concept for the second time... 2013/2014 is the time to strike back! Move over Canikons!
P.S. ... Happy Pentax Day!"


"I mentioned the D600/A99 because it has a similar sensor, which I'm not fond of... I find 24Mpix to be much too high. I suggested to them the same sensor as the D4 has, and using their Shake Reduction technology to create a multi-shot composite similar to what Hasselblad has. However, I am a specialist
s so I need the low light performance... the general public should love the new camera, inside and out."

Seems to be a site that lists links to online retailers. Yes that photoshopped image of the first K5 Limited seems to keep reappearing. Would be nice if they do use that grip though.

Sorry the first link lists the K3 too. So maybe the K3 full frame in two versions, K1 APS-C may be the replacement for K01 which I have seen listed as K01 ii on another Chinese online shopping site and the K11 two version perhaps.

The file in the comparometer is NRAD, I guess that is auto and it gives similar results in regards to loss of detail with the red pillow as NR3 at ISO 1600. Looking at the NR0 file,I take it no NR, it leaves slightly more noise but much, much more of the detail is retained with much less smearing. Result is night and day really.

The pattern in the red pillow case at 1600 is really suffering even more so than the K5. Otherwise I do not see much difference. The k5 is a little warmer, colours more saturated and k5II a little brighter.

The sample of the K5ii looks almost as if it has a polarising filter. Such a noticeable difference. The other is so hazy.

I would say Pentax were developing the k3 and realised what a dog of sensor the Sony 24mp is and realised that the image quality would be well below the K5 so decided to put the improvements they had developed into an improved K5 instead while they wait for a decent sensor. Either that or they scrapped the K3 altogether OR they have intended it to be a full frame camera all along with a 24mp full frame sensor and so maybe that has caused some confusion.

Well if Pentax can equal or surpass the image quality of the Nex 7 then we may have something here. If however the image quality is anything like the D3200 on the Dpreview studio shots then lets hope as well for k5 super.

Yes its very short and succinct but they have included many important points that many other reviews have confused or missed altogether. As the review states, it is not an entry level camera. Perhaps in price but in features its upper mid range or enthusiast. Also while it is subjective, it is very good looking camera and very comfortable to hold. I like the verdict as well. Pentax do design camera for real photographers and it shows in the features they offer and in the ergonomics.
