Pentax K3 -Probably the most advanced APS-C DSLR is launched!

[otc]

just fyi all the test shot was at iso 3200, unedited,unaltered,
so let assume the low iso files will be even more solid

Is the sensor that good or did pentax did some tweak to the processing to nosie reduction on iso 3200 and above.?
Ability to focus and captured that lens in low light is a plus point, so far for pentax.

Thanks for posting those great images.

Interesting (to me) that those who were there for the touch-see are not anyone I recognize from the Pentax outings.

Those are Pentax elite, hidden from normal view.:bsmilie: They were from Takumars and super Takumar and period of SMC
:lovegrin:

Thats what went thru my mind when I made the above remark

The true masters that lurk in the shadows.


But are so keen and can easily afford any new Pentax camera.

.... it looks like they know more about the Pentax K3 camera than most of the Pentaxians here.... At least they know how to go about testing a new piece of equipment.

I need to return the cam and the HD lens by Monday, only manage to loan for 4days. next time I could get hold on, would organise another hands on session if you guys are keen.

It's not just about fps but also shutter lag....... and thus being able to capture the moment that you intended.....

So other than the HD coating lense and image quality is the same as the old limited series?
