This should be the K2, not 3-III. It has totally re-energized me to go out there and capture moments, because, as much as I loved my venerable K-3 OG, this is head and shoulders above it. Is a bit heavier, but much better autofocus. And the high-ISO is terrific; the picture of Mercury in the night sky is handheld with Sigma 18-300 at 300mm, ISO 102,000. This un-processed pic is not going to win prizes of course, but shows how good this camera can be. The other pics are un-processed also. All taken with the Big Sig lens. For people doing landscapes and birds, the dynamic range is great, the viewfinder is amazing, and the dials are so easy to use, it is like using a film camera again, but with all the benefits of digital. And it is a solid, weathersealed Pentax, made to use out in life, not just inside or in garden somewhere.
What could be better - would be nice to be able to see the autofocus spot better. Wish it had the GPS/Astrotracer built in, although the link with the phone works great, so I was able to text pics to family right away after taken. But would probably use less battery if not having to use Wifi/Bluetooth to geotag the photos.
I plan to capture a ton of moments with this awesome new camera!

Outstanding new DSLR from Pentax!
This should be the K2, not 3-III. It has totally re-energized me to go out there and capture moments, because, as much as I loved my venerable K-3 OG, this is head and shoulders above it. Is a bit heavier, but much better autofocus. And the high-ISO is terrific; the picture of Mercury in the night sky is handheld with Sigma 18-300 at 300mm, ISO 102,000. This un-processed pic is not going to win prizes of course, but shows how good this camera can be. The other pics are un-processed also. All taken with the Big Sig lens. For people doing landscapes and birds, the dynamic range is great, the viewfinder is amazing, and the dials are so easy to use, it is like using a film camera again, but with all the benefits of digital. And it is a solid, weathersealed Pentax, made to use out in life, not just inside or in garden somewhere.What could be better - would be nice to be able to see the autofocus spot better. Wish it had the GPS/Astrotracer built in, although the link with the phone works great, so I was able to text pics to family right away after taken. But would probably use less battery if not having to use Wifi/Bluetooth to geotag the photos.I plan to capture a ton of moments with this awesome new camera!
