Why I will buy a K-3 III

Some of my friends who are primarily stills shooters are now including short videos of their chosen subjects in their social media and/or websites. They are finding that their customers like to see both. For example, a friend recently shot both stills and video of a nest of baby great horned owls. The stills were good, but watching the mother actually feeding the chicks in a video was terrific and I think helped sell the story behind his still photos.

So, if you are shooting stills of something that moves, having a DSLR with good video capability gives one the option to quickly switch from stills to video. Stills photographers who also need to be able to shoot good video usually don't have the budget to buy dedicated video cameras; and most would not have the interest in carrying two systems (and taking the time to continually switch over from stills to a dedicated video camera).

1080P is not at all competitive with 4K. 4K is these days what is needed to be competitive. Just because you don't ever shoot video does not negate the importance of having good 4K video in your digital camera. Cameras need to be made for everyone, not just the few, and that's why camera manufactures need to include so many features that not everyone needs. For example, I've never used GPS, catch in focus, horizon tilting, or astro photography features on my Pentax K-1 cameras. However, I understand why Pentax put them in - to sell K-1 cameras to a broader group of potential customers. So, it's OK that you don't shoot video, but realize, that state of the art video must be included in a new flagship digital camera, or the camera manufacturer will be severely restricting their potential customer base.

Back on topic..................

The two features that the K3ii has that the competition does not are - PIXEL SHIFT & ASTRO. The new K3ii should further improve each of these features to pull further away from the competition.


All of the other things mentioned above the competition already has. What's the sense of settling for just meeting the competitions features? If that's all you want, sell your K3ii and buy a Fuji X body.
