K-3 Movie-SR issue

There is obviously a disconnect somewhere in regards to the K-3. The K-3 has at no point in its firmware history supported sensor-shifted SR for video. The same is true for the K-3II.

K-5IIs? Well, no I guess that is not a good choice if you want the K-3 video feature set. With any luck, the OPs issue can be addressed in firmware and/or Ricoh will enable the choice between SR types.



Your point is well taken and I was not charitable. I know that it is disappointing to have all but one in a long list of desired features present on a product. It is doubly disappointing to discover the fact after the purchase or to make the purchase knowing of the deficiency only to find that it bugs you more than you thought it would down the road.

For the record, I will likely buy a K-3 at some point in the near future and the video features are part of the package that makes it attractive. Learning that craft sounds like fun.

Agreed, though it is my feeling that the appropriate action as a consumer is to simply take it back and buy the product that works better.

In this case, I am not sure that the finger is fairly being pointed at the SR feature, though it is likely part of the mix. I turned off the sound (highly distracting) and ran the video several times and it looks to me like the camera is dropping frames.

The only thing stupid about the comment was expecting an intelligent reading on the other end. I was serious about the Nikon suggestion* and sarcastic with the "still vs. video" part. In-lens stabilization is an established and good solution for video SR. So is owning a video camera with stabilization built in. The last I heard, the SR on the K-3 is as good or better than that on the K-5 for the features they share in common. Your K-3 is one of the best still digital cameras on the planet. Buying one for its video capabilities is well...puzzling.

* Probably should have suggested Canon too...
