Pentax K-3 II announced
#5
Quote: Yep, Pentax has really shown what SR is all about with the K3II........

           The K5II/s/K3 had crippled the SR by using the stabilization giro's to turn off SR when panning or recomposing and to boot it was too sensitive leaving a seconds wait while it re-fired up.( I was critical of this move to the point of initiating an email to Japan via Pentax service dept) 

    Now Pentax's SR has a additional stop of SR (4.5) astro-tracer GPS mode, pixel shifting technology (sorry Olympus) and panning, finally everything has come together, with improved AF.........a masterstroke!........... this is going to rattle Canikon's cage somewhat!

 

 Bit of a shame about the loss of the inbuilt flash, but it's so crammed tight inside something had to give!

 

 What lenses are coming under the hammer Klaus?, Photozone would be the first independent test of the DA 16-85mm if you decided on that lens. 
 

Pentax cameras were always great IMHO. Lens QC is or at least was a major issue. Honestly I also think that lens quality is  somewhat worse than Canon. The lens AF is also not so hot (but then this aspect is way overblown by marketeers anyway).

 

So yes, a mate has offered the 16-85mm and DFA 50mm for reviewing. I will probably also test the DA 50mm and DA 18-50mm. On the K-5 II.
